QUICK SUMMARY
Supervise and develop a remote litigation support team at a California plaintiff-side employment law firm. This role is for an experienced employment litigation paralegal who wants to move away from daily production work and into mentoring, training, and team leadership, with a predictable Monday-Friday schedule.
WHY LABOR LAW PC
Labor Law PC is a California plaintiff-side employment law firm representing employees in matters involving discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, retaliation, and wage-and-hour violations. We are a fully remote, international team of approximately 40 people with systems and litigation support infrastructure built to help our legal teams do high-quality work.

THE ROLE
This is a supervisory and mentoring role built for someone who wants to use deep litigation experience without carrying the day-to-day production workload of a traditional paralegal position.
You will supervise our filing clerk, calendar clerk, and legal assistant while providing training, mentorship, and procedural guidance to law clerks supporting our attorneys.
You will be a key resource for California employment litigation procedure, filing requirements, deadlines, service issues, and litigation workflows. You will also review case activity for accuracy, identify gaps before they become problems, and help implement department procedures.
