Sr. Practice Support Specialist
The Senior Practice Support Specialist at McGuireWoods serves as a strategic litigation technology partner to attorneys and case teams, supporting complex litigation matters across the full eDiscovery lifecycle—from early data strategy and processing through trial presentation. This role is integral to the firm's commitment to delivering seamless litigation technology support.
Key responsibilities include partnering closely with attorneys, paralegals, IT, and vendors to provide comprehensive litigation technology support. The specialist advises case teams on best practices across the full Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) lifecycle, leads complex eDiscovery workflows—including data processing, document review management, and productions—and provides hands-on trial support, such as deposition synchronization, video clips, exhibit management, and in-court presentations. Additionally, the role involves serving as a consultative resource on defensible, cost-effective data management strategies and acting as a subject matter expert in litigation support tools and emerging technologies.
The ideal candidate holds a bachelor's degree, preferably in Information Technology, Computer Information Systems, or a related discipline, and possesses a legal background with in-depth knowledge of litigation processes. Extensive experience supporting complex litigation matters is essential, along with strong proficiency in RelativityOne, Nuix, LAW PreDiscovery, and trial presentation software, with OnCue preferred. The role requires demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively under pressure, exceptional communication and client service skills, and a highly collaborative team player who can also work independently. Willingness to travel and provide on-call support as needed is also required.
McGuireWoods offers excellent benefits and a hybrid remote option for most employees, allowing flexibility and work-life balance. The firm provides access to innovative technology platforms, including Harvey, a legal-specific AI tool that reduces time spent on routine tasks, enabling focus on more meaningful, high-impact work.
Joining McGuireWoods means becoming part of one of the world's leading law firms, which has provided legal solutions to corporate, individual, and nonprofit clients since 1834. The firm fosters a collaborative and inclusive culture, offering continuous professional development opportunities and the chance to work on high-stakes litigation with a variety of clients.
