The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of legal procedures, data management, and litigation software tools.
As a Litigation Support Specialist, you will be responsible for handling large volumes of electronic data, assisting with document review platforms, and ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory standards. You will work closely with attorneys, paralegals, and IT professionals to support all phases of the litigation lifecycle, from initial case assessment to trial preparation and presentation.

Familiarity with litigation support software such as Relativity, Concordance, or CaseMap is highly desirable. A background in legal studies or information technology is preferred, and prior experience in a law firm or corporate legal department is a plus.
