Litigation Legal Assistant (Calgary)

Remote People

About the Opportunity

Our client is a reputable law firm in Calgary seeking a seasoned Litigation Legal Assistant to join their busy litigation practice. This is a confidential search for a highly experienced professional who brings deep expertise in civil litigation proceedings and is ready to hit the ground running in a demanding, high-volume environment.

The Role

As a Litigation Legal Assistant, you will provide senior-level support to a team of litigation lawyers across a range of complex matters. Your extensive experience will be relied upon to manage files independently, mentor junior staff, and ensure the practice group operates with precision and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare, format, and proofread litigation documents including pleadings, affidavits, motions, briefs, and correspondence

  • File documents with the Court of King's Bench of Alberta, Alberta Court of Appeal, and other applicable courts — both in-person and electronically via the E-filing portal

  • Manage all aspects of litigation files from opening through to trial and closing

  • Calendar and track critical deadlines, limitation periods, examinations for discovery, and court appearances

  • Coordinate with clients, opposing counsel, court registries, and process servers

  • Prepare hearing and trial binders, books of authorities, and document briefs

  • Assist with examination for discovery preparation, including organizing transcripts and exhibits

  • Process dockets, accounts, and billing using legal practice management software

  • Mentor and support junior legal assistants and law clerks as needed

Qualifications

  • Minimum 10 years of experience as a Litigation Legal Assistant, preferably within a law firm setting in Calgary

  • Post-secondary education in Legal Administration or a related discipline

  • Thorough knowledge of Alberta Rules of Court and civil litigation procedures

  • Demonstrated experience with court filings at the Court of King's Bench of Alberta and familiarity with Alberta's E-filing systems

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; experience with legal practice management software (e.g., Aderant, PCLaw, or similar) is an asset

  • Exceptional attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to manage competing priorities under pressure

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

  • A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with the ability to work independently

  • Discretion and sound judgment when managing sensitive and confidential information

Compensation & Details

  • Salary: Commensurate with experience — to be discussed with qualified candidates

  • Location: Calgary, AB (hybrid)

  • Full-time, permanent position

This is a confidential search. The name of the hiring firm will be shared with qualified candidates at the appropriate stage of the recruitment process.
