Entry Level Litigation Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level litigation specialist job?
Start by gaining exposure through internships at law firms, corporate legal departments, or government agencies. Employers at this level look for candidates who can organize case files, draft basic legal documents, and communicate clearly under deadlines. Coursework in civil procedure, evidence, or paralegal studies strengthens your application, and any hands-on litigation support experience, even from a clinic or mock trial, gives you a real edge.
Which companies hire entry level litigation specialists?
Companies hiring entry level litigation specialists right now include Epic, Jobot, and Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a mix of law firms, insurance carriers, corporate legal teams, and government agencies that regularly bring on junior candidates and train them in litigation support workflows.
Are there remote entry level litigation specialist jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles are on-site or hybrid rather than fully remote. About 24% of entry level litigation specialist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so options exist for candidates who need flexibility. On-site roles remain common because junior staff often learn directly from supervising attorneys and senior paralegals in the office.
Are these new grad litigation specialist jobs?
Yes, many of these listings are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome candidates with little or no professional experience. A new grad posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or clinical work toward that threshold, and may consider a strong portfolio of legal writing or coursework in lieu of full-time history. Look for language like "entry level," "recent graduates welcome," or "will train" in the job description.
Which industries hire the most entry level litigation specialists?
Entry Level litigation specialist roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Staffing & Recruiting, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they handle high volumes of disputes, claims, and regulatory matters that require dedicated litigation support staff, creating consistent demand for junior candidates who can grow into the role.
