Litigation Paralegal

About the role

Drive Justice with Precision and Impact
This isn’t just a paralegal job—it’s your chance to be the backbone of high-stakes employment cases, pushing them toward faster, stronger resolutions.

What You’ll Do

• Own Case Execution: Draft complaints, motions, discovery requests, and mediation statements with precision, enabling attorneys to focus on strategy.
• Create Case Foundations: Build fact chronologies, deposition summaries, and witness profiles that form the strategic backbone of each case.
• Conduct Targeted Research: Use Westlaw or Lexis to resolve procedural issues, delivering clear, actionable summaries to attorneys.
• Engage Clients Thoughtfully: Lead fact-gathering calls with empathy, ensuring clients feel heard while maintaining professional boundaries.
• Drive Momentum: Proactively spot delays or gaps in cases and escalate solutions to keep cases on track for swift resolution.
• Leverage Systems: Use HubSpot, SharePoint, and Microsoft 365 to track progress, maintain flawless records, and streamline workflows.

What You Won’t Do

• Perform routine admin tasks like filing or scheduling (handled by case managers).
• Provide legal advice or case valuations to clients.
• Wait for direction to identify and fix case bottlenecks.

Qualifications

• You have 2+ years of paralegal experience, ideally in litigation (plaintiff-side employment law is a plus, but we’ll train you on employment law specifics).
• Paralegal certificate or associate’s degree required; bachelor’s degree preferred.
• A detail-oriented master of legal drafting, with zero tolerance for errors.
• A proactive problem-solver who anticipates issues and acts without being told.
• A strong communicator with empathy for clients and clarity for the team.
• Tech-savvy with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and case management systems; HubSpot experience is a bonus.
