Corporate Legal Assistant Atlanta (Law Firm)

A premier Trucking Insurance Defense Firm in Midtown Atlanta is seeking a sharp, detail-oriented Legal Assistant to support two of our busy paralegals. This is a Temp-to-Perm opportunity ("try before you buy") that offers a direct path to a long-term career with our growing firm.

Important Note on Structure: In this role, you will report directly to two Paralegals. This is a 100% administrative legal support role-there is no billing, no calendar management, and no travel coordination. Former paralegals looking to do substantive case work will not be a good fit.

What You Will Do (Pure Administration & Production)

• Shell Creation: Draft and prepare answer and complaint shells immediately upon receiving new discovery.
• Document Processing: Efficiently handle a high volume of non-party requests.
• Practice Management: Utilize CLIO, PeachCourt, Odyssey, and federal e-filing systems daily to manage documents and ensure accurate fill-ins.
• Workload Management: Support a caseload across 2 paralegals (averaging ~50 cases per paralegal, total caseload will remain under 100).

• Experience: Direct experience in Insurance Defense is strictly required. We cannot accept candidates with exclusively Plaintiff-side or unrelated practice area experience.
• Tech-Savvy: Proficiency with CLIO, PeachCourt, Odyssey, and Federal Court e-filing systems is a must.
• Mindset: An administrative powerhouse who thrives on organization, file setup, and high-volume document preparation without the pressure of billable hour requirements.

• The Early-Career Climber: Someone with a foundational background in insurance defense looking to sharpen their administrative skills and grow within a structured firm.
• The Seasoned Professional: A highly experienced administrative professional who wants a stable, high-paying legal support role without the headache of tracking billable time, travel, or complex calendars.
