Remote Legal Assistant U.S. Law Firm

Velez Law Group · India

Remote Legal Assistant / Paralegal — U.S. Law Firm

Remote · Start: September 2026

We are a U.S. based law firm specializing in accessibility law, civil rights, and federal litigation. We are looking for a Remote Legal Assistant based in India to join our team.

What You Will Do

ADA Web Accessibility

• Draft and organize pre-litigation demand letter packages for web accessibility matters under ADA Title III, the Unruh Civil Rights Act, and CIPA
• Research and profile target establishments — including legal entity verification through California Secretary of State records
• Validate website URLs and confirm active links for all targets prior to document production
• Extract website files and technical data for accessibility review
• Review user-generated accessibility evaluations of websites and summarize findings for legal use
• Compile and organize technical exhibits including web scan reports, accessibility session logs, and network traffic analyses
• Track and manage active demand packages across multiple defendants at different stages of negotiation

Public Records and Municipal Enforcement

• Prepare and track California Public Records Act (CPRA) petitions submitted to California municipalities
• Draft follow-up correspondence, deficiency notices, and demand letters when agencies fail to respond or produce incomplete records
• Build and maintain case chronologies for each city, documenting every communication, production, and deadline
• Update and reconcile case tracking records in Airtable against Gmail correspondence and document productions

ADA Physical Accessibility

• Support documentation of physical ADA Title III accessibility matters for 30+ pending locations
• Assist in organizing site information, preparing exhibits, and tracking compliance timelines

General Legal Support

• Research U.S. legal authority and summarize findings clearly and accurately
• Assist in drafting requests and responses
• Prepare and submit filings and requests to U.S. federal and state agencies
• Manage document review, document organization, and file tracking
• Track deadlines and provide direct support
• Use AI tools like Gemini and Claude for research and drafting, with verification

What We Need

• Excellent written English, this is a hard filter, not a preference
• Prior experience supporting U.S. law firms or legal process outsourcing work, strongly preferred
• Familiarity with U.S. federal court processes or litigation workflows
• Proficiency in airtable, Google Docs, and Google Drive
• Real working knowledge of AI tools, including the ability to verify outputs, catch errors, and handle confidential information appropriately

AI is a core part of this role, not optional. We use structured AI workflows to produce high volume legal correspondence. What we need is someone who understands AI's limits as well as its uses:

• Run structured prompts reliably and consistently across high-volume document production
• Catch AI errors before they reach a document, including fabricated legal citations, incorrect amounts, and inconsistent details that repeat across packages
• Verify every legal citation against a real source (google scholar) AI generated citations that do not exist in published reporters are a professional liability
• Distinguish an AI assisted draft from a personally reviewed work product
• Handle confidential client and case information responsibly, knowing what does and does not go into a public AI tool

If you use AI only to generate text and submit it, this role is not for you. If you use AI to work faster and then apply real judgment to the output, we want to hear from you.
