Litigation Support Specialist I (3+ Years)

Cincinnati, OH | Full-Time | On-Site

If you like keeping litigation files, deadlines and filings moving while attorneys focus on the case, this Cincinnati support role puts you at the center of a busy defense practice.

Protem Legal, on behalf of a respected client, is currently seeking a Litigation Support Specialist I for a national litigation-focused firm’s Cincinnati office.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Hands-on litigation support with real case ownership, not busywork alone
• Work beside attorneys and paralegals on active defense matters
• 3+ years of law-firm administrative experience is the bar
• Competitive pay and a full benefits package

About the Role

You’ll provide administrative and operational support to litigation teams: preparing documents, managing files and databases, coordinating with clients and counsel, and helping the team meet court and client deadlines. Strong organization, attention to detail and a solid grasp of legal terminology matter here.

What You’ll Do

• Draft, review and proofread pleadings and correspondence to firm and court standards
• Manage case files and legal databases, including medical-record subpoena charts
• Organize electronic and physical files and track deadlines and court appearances
• Communicate with clients, opposing counsel and experts as directed by attorneys
• Support case-related fact investigation at the direction of an attorney or paralegal
• Handle calendars, meetings, expense reports, calls and correspondence, and reassign tasks to administrative or project assistants when needed
• Record billable hours and help process vendor invoices
• Prepare and file court documents at the direction of attorneys
• Help the team stay within client guidelines
• Use legal software for document management, e-discovery and case tracking, and support colleagues on those tools

What We’re Looking For

• At least 3 years of administrative law-firm experience
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Ability to prioritize, manage multiple deadlines and work under pressure
• High attention to detail and accuracy
• Discretion with confidential information
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and legal software
• Strong knowledge of legal terminology, procedures and documentation

Work Environment

This is a full-time, on-site role in the firm’s Cincinnati, Ohio office.

Compensation

Pay will be discussed during the interview process and is based on qualifications and experience.
