Procopio Cory Hargreaves is hiring: Legal Secretary in San Diego

We’re hiring two experienced Legal Secretaries to support our Native American Law practice in downtown San Diego. If you excel in fast-paced environments, bring exceptional attention to detail, and thrive in a role that requires strong organization and sound judgment, we’d love to meet you.

Available Schedules

We are hiring for two full-time roles with the following set schedules:

• Position 1: Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
• Position 2: Tuesday–Saturday, 11:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Please indicate your preferred schedule when applying.

What You’ll Do

You’ll provide high-level administrative and practice support to a Partner whose work focuses on gaming, commercial transactions, leasing, finance, and economic development in Indian Country. Ideal candidates bring at least 5–7 years of experience supporting attorneys in transactional, regulatory, or government-facing practices and are confident handling:

• Drafting, formatting, and preparing transactional documents, correspondence, resolutions, agreements, and memoranda
• Assisting with the assembly, execution, and distribution of deal documents, including signature packets and closing binders
• Managing complex attorney calendars, scheduling meetings with clients, government agencies, and internal teams
• Coordinating communications with tribal governments, state and federal agencies, and outside parties
• Organizing due diligence materials, tracking project timelines, and maintaining matter files
• Preparing and processing expense reports, check requests, and other administrative tasks
• Supporting attorneys with varying work styles and priorities
• Conducting preliminary research and assisting with document management related to gaming regulations, tribal-state compacts, land-into-trust matters, and other Native American law issues
• Assisting with travel arrangements, conference preparation, and client meeting logistics

To be considered, candidates must have prior experience supporting attorneys in transactional, regulatory, government affairs, or similarly complex practice areas. Experience working with tribal governments or Indian law matters is a plus, but not required.

Why Work With Us?

• Hybrid work environment with flexibility to balance office and remote work
• Collaborative, mission-driven team culture
• Opportunity to support high-impact work involving tribal sovereignty, economic development, and major gaming and commercial projects
• Competitive compensation. These roles typically pay $87,000–$97,000 depending on experience. If your pay expectation is outside this range, we still encourage you to apply. Bonuses are awarded in recognition of individual and firm performance.
• Full-time employees can participate in our comprehensive benefits program, including medical (HMO/PPO), dental (HMO/PPO), vision, flexible spending and health savings accounts, a robust Employee Assistance Program, firm wellness incentives, an excellent 401(k) profit-sharing program, and generous time-off policies.
