• Partner with attorneys on corporate transactional work, such as LLC formations and dissolutions, UCC preparation/filings, EIN registrations, foreign qualifications, and general litigation matters.
• Coordinate with external counsel, consultants, and government counterparts as needed.
• Support the preparation and organization of materials for audits, reviews, certifications, and legal filings.
• Track and manage corporate, employment, and regulatory matters, action items, and deliverables to completion.
• Provide flexible support across the legal team as priorities require, including regulatory filings and agency correspondence, litigation support (e.g., document collection, discovery logistics, and docketing), and employment matters.
• Support initiatives related to public company readiness, including governance processes, securities compliance, disclosure preparation, and legal infrastructure development.

Requirements

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Paralegal Studies, a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 7+ years of experience as a paralegal or in a legal support role, with substantial corporate governance and transactional experience.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and legal technology platforms, including CLMs and CRMs.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Exceptional organizational skills with a high level of attention to detail.
• Demonstrated ability to operate with minimal direction, exercise sound judgment, and independently prioritize competing demands.
• Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment while managing multiple priorities with accuracy and sound professional judgment.
• Demonstrated innovation and proactive problem-solving skills, including identifying process improvements and implementing more efficient approaches to support legal operations.
