Legal Auditor
Wilson Elser, a leading defense litigation law firm with over 1,400 attorneys across 46 offices nationwide, is seeking a Legal Auditor to join its Quality Assurance and Client Audit Services team. This role offers a flexible remote working arrangement and can be located in any state where the firm has an office. The position is ideal for experienced litigators looking to transition from active practice while contributing to the firm's commitment to excellence.
The Legal Auditor will be responsible for reviewing active case files using the firm's cloud-based document management and time entry systems. Key duties include accurately capturing data, evaluating file handling to identify exceptional efforts and areas for improvement, and participating in calibration exercises. The role requires clear and concise writing skills to effectively communicate findings and recommendations.
Candidates must possess a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited law school and have a minimum of five years of litigation experience, with a preference for those with insurance defense backgrounds. Auditing experience at an insurance carrier is considered a plus. While a current law license is not required, the candidate's license must have been in good standing at the time it lapsed. The role demands a self-starter with acute attention to detail, strong analytical and communication skills, and the ability to handle confidential information with professionalism and discretion. Experience with electronically stored information and document management systems is advantageous.
The position offers a competitive salary range of $90,000 to $135,000 USD annually, depending on experience and qualifications. As a full-time role, it qualifies for a comprehensive benefits package, including a 401(k) retirement savings plan, medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance. Additional perks include access to corporate discount plans and generous paid time off.
Wilson Elser fosters a collegial work environment where individuals are treated with respect and dignity. The firm is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, offering ample opportunities for professional development and advancement. Joining Wilson Elser means becoming part of a team that values collaboration, client service, and innovation.
