Lightfoot has been recognized as one of Birmingham’s Best Places to Work for the past three years, reflecting our strong culture, commitment to our people, and focus on long term success.
About the Role
We are seeking a Trial Technology and Presentation Specialist to work under our Director of Litigation Support on important trial defense work. This role is ideal for someone who is highly tech savvy, creative, dependable, and thrives under pressure.
You do not need prior trial experience to apply and if you do have trial experience, that's a plus. We are open to candidates early in their careers, especially those with a background or degree in technology, information systems, graphic design, data visualization, or a related field. What matters most is your work ethic, reliability, and ability to perform when it counts.
PowerPoint is a core skill in this role. Our attorneys rely heavily on visually clear, accurate, and persuasive presentations in court. You will play a direct role in shaping how complex cases are understood by judges and juries.
This is a demanding position. Deadlines are tight. Trials can often require nights, weekends, and travel. Stress levels can be high. The reward is meaningful involvement in high stakes trial work where preparation and dependability truly matter.
Why This Role Matters
This role has a direct impact on trial readiness and courtroom execution. The quality of your work impacts how facts are presented, how stories are told to juries, and how well attorneys are supported in critical moments. This is a visible, trusted position for someone who takes pride in precision, creativity, and follow through.
