We are a small Plaintiffs firm that primarily handles insurance bad faith cases. Our clients are individuals who have had an insurance claim denied by their insurance company in bad faith. We have offices in Sedona, AZ and San Diego, CA, and are currently seeking to hire someone for our creek-side Sedona office.
Insurance bad faith cases are typically considered "complex litigation." Our cases are usually lengthy (sometimes spanning several years) and document-intensive. As one of the firms two litigation paralegals, you will be primarily responsible for managing roughly half the firms cases, from their initiation through trial. Managing a case means being familiar with the facts of the case, including review of and summarizing all documents, depositions, disclosures and discovery, staying on top of deadlines, helping attorneys on the case stay ahead of those deadlines, and generally helping to push projects to completion ahead of deadlines. More importantly, it means providing organized and detail-oriented oversight for the all-too-often-frantically-busy attorneys and may periodically involve assistance throughout the duration of a trial. The ideal candidate will have an interest in the substance and nuances of the cases they are assigned to, and will be encouraged to offer any insights and collaboration they are willing to provide.
Must-haves for this role include being: proactive, engaged, and capable of working autonomously with little direction.
We try to avoid asking staff to stay late or work weekends, but given the nature of our practice and litigation in general, its sometimes unavoidable. These instances are infrequent, but they do arise.
