Decruit is hiring: Litigation Legal Secretary – Top CA Firm + Fully Paid Health

Litigation Legal Secretary – Top CA Firm + Fully Paid Health Coverage

Base pay range: $85,000.00/yr - $95,000.00/yr

About the Firm: We’re a top California litigation firm with nearly 100 attorneys and a reputation built on excellence, teamwork, and integrity. Recognized year after year as one of the Best Places to Work, our culture is collaborative, inclusive, and genuinely supportive. We view our staff as trusted partners in the firm’s success — and we invest in their well‑being accordingly. This opportunity arises from growth, not turnover.

Why This Role Stands Out: As healthcare costs rise across the industry, we’re proud to offer 100% employer‑paid health, dental, and vision coverage for every employee — no monthly premiums, no hidden deductions. You’ll have true peace of mind knowing your coverage is completely taken care of, freeing you to focus on your career and your life outside of work.

The Opportunity: We’re seeking a seasoned Litigation Legal Secretary to join our Los Angeles office. You’ll support a dynamic group of attorneys in a busy, fast‑paced civil litigation practice. Our legal secretaries are valued as the backbone of the team — organized, proactive professionals who keep cases moving and clients informed. You’ll work alongside experienced paralegals and fellow secretaries who share the workload and collaborate daily.

• Prepare, edit, and finalize pleadings, motions, discovery, and correspondence
• Maintain attorney calendars and court deadlines (state and federal)
• Handle e‑filing in multiple jurisdictions
• Organize and maintain case files and document systems
• Coordinate depositions, hearings, and travel arrangements
• Assist with billing, expense reports, and administrative tasks
• Support multiple attorneys within a well‑staffed, team‑oriented department

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of litigation secretary experience (civil defense preferred)
• Solid understanding of California and federal court rules and e‑filing
• Advanced skills in Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Excel
• Experience with iManage, PACER, or similar systems a plus
• Excellent attention to detail, organization, and communication
• Ability to thrive under deadlines while maintaining professionalism
• Competitive salary plus annual discretionary bonus
• 100% employer‑paid health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid life insurance and long‑term disability
• 401(k) safe harbor contribution and profit‑sharing plan (fully vested per schedule)
• PTO starting at 15 days/year, increasing to 24 days with tenure
• 11 paid firm holidays
• Paid parking or transportation stipend
• Wellness and EAP benefits, Flexible Spending Accounts
• Paid parental, bereavement, and jury duty leave
• Hybrid schedule available after training, with flexibility for court runs and urgent filings
