Job Description

We are seeking an experienced, motivated, detail-oriented civil litigation paralegal to join our rapidly growing legal team and play a critical role in obtaining justice for victims injured by corporate and institutional malfeasance and neglect. You will work directly with attorneys to prepare for trials, hearings, and client meetings — ensuring all pleadings, discovery materials, and case files are meticulously organized and readily accessible. This role involves meaningful interaction with clients, opposing counsel, co-counsel, and the courts, and may include oversight of administrative staff.

Responsibilities

  • Assist with case intake and onboarding processes
  • Conduct thorough legal research using Lexis-Nexis, Westlaw, Bloomberg Legal, Fastcase, Google Scholar, and similar platforms
  • Draft, review, and organize pleadings, motions, discovery materials, and contracts
  • Manage case files through cloud-based CRM and case management systems
  • Track and maintain attorney litigation calendars, case timelines, and critical deadlines
  • Perform document review to identify relevant facts, evidence, and key information
  • Serve as a primary point of client contact — providing updates, gathering information, and demonstrating professional phone etiquette
  • Collaborate with attorneys to prepare for court appearances and client meetings
  • Assist with project management tasks and supervise administrative assistants as needed

What we're looking for:

  • Required: Prior experience as a litigation paralegal
  • Strong command of legal terminology, rules of evidence, and civil procedure
  • Proficiency in legal research tools (Lexis-Nexis, Westlaw, Fastcase, Google Scholar, etc.)
  • Experience with Salesforce-based CRM platforms and/or case management software such as Litify or SmartAdvocate (strongly preferred)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including professional client-facing etiquette
  • Exceptional organizational skills and ability to manage multiple cases simultaneously under deadline pressure

If you are passionate about the law and ready to contribute to a dynamic, fast-growing legal team, we encourage you to apply.
