About The Position

FBFK Law is seeking a Litigation Legal Assistant for their Houston office. This is a newly created position supporting multiple attorneys and paralegals in a fast-paced litigation practice. The role offers an opportunity for an experienced litigation support professional to have ownership over case logistics and a direct line to the legal team. FBFK Law is recognized for its investment in modern technology and innovative approaches to legal work. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working with both traditional and technologically advanced methods, curious about new tools and processes, and adaptable to change. The role involves providing day-to-day litigation support from filing through trial and appeal, including preparing pleadings and correspondence, managing e-filing, tracking deadlines, and coordinating logistics for depositions, hearings, and trials. The position focuses on business and commercial litigation, employment litigation, real estate litigation, intellectual property litigation, and estate/trust litigation.

Requirements

• At least 2 years of litigation legal assistant experience in a law firm, supporting business/commercial, employment, real estate, IP, or estate/trust litigation matters
• Comfortable supporting multiple attorneys and paralegals at once, in a busy, deadline-driven practice
• Hands-on experience with federal and state e-filing systems and court procedures
• Strong docketing and deadline-management skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office
• Genuinely tech-savvy and curious — someone who looks for a better or faster way to do things and is comfortable picking up new software, tools, and AI-assisted platforms
• Flexible enough to work well with attorneys who have very different working styles, including transcribing handwritten drafts and dictated notes for attorneys who prefer more traditional methods
• Not afraid of change — comfortable taking on new challenges, learning new processes, and adjusting on the fly
• High attention to detail, discretion, and the judgment to keep multiple cases moving without dropping a deadline
• Candidates whose litigation experience is limited to personal injury, family law, or immigration matters are not being considered for this role.

Responsibilities

• Prepare, proofread, and finalize pleadings, correspondence, and court filings in accordance with court rules and firm standards
• File documents with federal and state courts via e-filing systems (CM/ECF and state portals) and track service of process
• Manage attorney calendars and monitor litigation deadlines — discovery cutoffs, motion deadlines, hearings, and trial dates
• Coordinate logistics for depositions, mediations, arbitrations, and hearings, including court reporters and vendors
• Organize and maintain case files in NetDocs and prepare binders and materials for depositions, hearings, and trial
• Assist with trial preparation, including exhibit and witness coordination and trial notebooks
• Serve as a day-to-day point of contact for clients on scheduling and administrative matters
• Accurately record all time worked, billable and non-billable, on a daily basis
