About the position

The Spanish Bilingual Legal Litigation Assistant position is an integral role within our successful plaintiff personal injury law firm located in Tampa, Florida. Our firm, comprised of 18 dedicated employees, specializes in various types of personal injury cases, including auto accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and pharmaceutical litigation. We pride ourselves on our commitment to providing exceptional legal services to our clients, and we are currently seeking a qualified individual to join our litigation team. In this role, the Legal Litigation Assistant will primarily support our litigation stage, which is the third phase of our case management process. The successful candidate will work closely with our experienced attorneys and case managers to prepare for court proceedings, assist in drafting legal documents, and manage case files. The position requires a strong understanding of legal procedures and the ability to communicate effectively with clients, witnesses, and other legal professionals. Our firm operates in a structured environment divided into four stages: Stage One involves case managers who interview new clients and open files; Stage Two focuses on preparing demand packages and negotiating settlements; Stage Three is where litigation occurs; and Stage Four encompasses front-desk management. We are looking to expand our litigation team by adding a bilingual paralegal or case manager who can contribute to our mission of achieving favorable outcomes for our clients. Candidates should possess excellent computer and typing skills, as well as a strong attention to detail. A four-year college degree is preferred, and fluency in Spanish is required to effectively communicate with our diverse clientele.
