Senior Litigation Paralegal

The Opportunity

A well-regarded, mid-sized law firm in Midtown Atlanta needs a smart, organized, confident, high-energy Senior Litigation Paralegal to join its growing litigation practice group. This is a direct-hire, permanent position with the firm — not a contract role. You will be working with Big Law veteran attorneys in a smaller, nimbler firm environment.

The firm handles sophisticated civil litigation for institutional and corporate clients, with a practice focused on commercial litigation, employment litigation, and internal investigations. If you have built your career doing substantive defense-side civil litigation work at a law firm — and you want to do more of it at a firm that takes paralegal contribution seriously — this is worth a close look.

The firm is hybrid: four days per week in the Midtown Atlanta office, with one day working remotely (WFH day varies week to week based on attorney scheduling needs).

What You Will Do

• Managing discovery, including document review, production, and coordination with e-discovery vendors
• Drafting and assisting with pleadings, motions, and correspondence
• Preparing for depositions, hearings, and trials — including exhibit preparation and witness files
• Cooking and coordinating filings in state and federal court, including electronic filing (CM/ECF)
• Organizing and maintaining case files, deadlines, and dockets across multiple active matters
• Supporting internal investigations from intake through document collection and reporting

What We Are Looking For

• Required:
• 5+ years of litigation paralegal experience at a law firm
• Experience must be in civil litigation on the defense side — specifically commercial litigation or employment litigation defense
• Demonstrated experience with state and federal court practice and procedure
• Ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously with strong organizational discipline
• Bachelor's degree and/or paralegal certificate
• Prior exposure to employment defense or complex commercial matters
• Preferred:
• Experience with e-discovery platforms

Compensation & Details

• Base salary: $70,000–$90,000, commensurate with experience
• Overtime eligible
• A attractive benefits package through the firm
• Location: Midtown Atlanta (hybrid — 4 days in office / 1 day remote, varying schedule)
• Employment type: Direct hire with the firm
