Virtual Legal Writer — Plaintiff-Side Pre-Litigation

📍 Location: Remote Scouts Office – Lahore, Pakistan (Onsite)
🕒 Job Type: Full-Time
🕓 Schedule: U.S. Eastern Time (EST)
⚖️ Industry: U.S. Employment Law

About the Role

Remote Scouts is seeking experienced Virtual Legal Writers to support plaintiff-side law firms with pre-litigation legal drafting.

This role is ideal for a strong legal writer who can take client statements, records, correspondence, photographs, medical documentation, and other evidence and turn them into clear, persuasive, fact-driven legal narratives. You will primarily work on demand letters, case summaries, liability narratives, damages summaries, and select complaints, with attorney oversight.

This is not a traditional legal assistant or administrative paralegal position. The emphasis is on legal writing, fact analysis, persuasion, and plaintiff-side advocacy.

What You'll Do

• Draft aggressive, fact-driven pre-litigation demand letters

• Prepare select complaints, case summaries, liability analyses, and damages narratives

• Review and organize complex client records and supporting evidence

• Identify legally significant facts and develop persuasive plaintiff-focused narratives

• Incorporate relevant statutes, case law, and legal research into written work product

• Follow firm-specific templates, tone, formatting, and citation standards

• Use active voice and persuasive storytelling to strengthen the client's position

• Review and proofread documents for factual accuracy, legal terminology, organization, and consistency

• Conduct legal research and verify citations using appropriate legal research platforms

• Collaborate remotely with attorneys, paralegals, and case teams

• Maintain strict confidentiality when handling sensitive client and case information

AI & Claude Proficiency

Claude is a core component of the firm's legal-writing workflow. Candidates must be able to use AI as a professional drafting and organization tool while maintaining independent legal judgment and rigorous quality control.

You should be comfortable with:

• Advanced prompt construction and iterative prompting

• Claude Projects and structured workflows

• Managing large volumes of case information and documents

• Preventing AI hallucinations involving facts, dates, statutes, and case citations

• Source-grounding AI-generated content against original documents

• Building verification and quality-control loops

• Recognizing when legal research or attorney judgment is required

• Reviewing and substantially improving AI-generated drafts rather than accepting first-pass output

What We're Looking For

Required

• Demonstrated experience in plaintiff-side legal writing or litigation support

• Experience drafting demand letters, complaints, settlement narratives, liability analyses, or similar advocacy materials

• Strong understanding of legal terminology and litigation concepts

• Excellent legal writing, editing, proofreading, and analytical skills

• Ability to turn complex or disorganized facts into a compelling narrative

• Strong understanding of plaintiff-side advocacy and pre-litigation strategy

• Ability to conduct legal research and verify legal authorities

• Demonstrated proficiency with Claude or comparable AI tools

• Strong understanding of AI hallucination risks and factual/citation verification

• Ability to manage multiple assignments and meet deadlines independently

• Excellent written English and professional communication

• High level of confidentiality, reliability, and attention to detail

Preferred

• JD, LLB, paralegal certification, or comparable legal training

• Personal injury, employment, workers' compensation, or other plaintiff-side experience

• Experience preparing demand packages

• Experience reviewing medical records and damages documentation

• Familiarity with Bluebook citation

• Experience with Westlaw, Lexis, or comparable legal research platforms

• Familiarity with NYSDHR, EEOC, DOL, or other pre-litigation procedures

• Experience using legal case-management platforms

• Experience creating Claude Projects, prompt libraries, or AI-assisted legal workflows

• Prior experience working with U.S. law firms or U.S. litigation matters
