Job Description

About the opportunity

Equivity is seeking an experienced Insurance Defense Paralegal to support attorneys handling a broad range of insurance-related litigation matters, including bodily injury claims, premises liability, construction defect, property damage disputes, transportation and trucking matters, professional liability claims, product liability cases, coverage disputes, bad faith litigation, and general liability defense.

This is an assignment-based opportunity designed for paralegals who value the flexibility of remote work and enjoy supporting a variety of law firms and matters across the country. As client needs evolve, assignments and workload may vary based on business demand. This role is a good fit for an experienced paralegal who values professional flexibility and is comfortable with a workload that can fluctuate rather than requiring a guaranteed number of weekly hours from the outset.

When actively supporting clients, responsiveness is important. Because client needs can arise on short notice, paralegals are expected to remain responsive to their active clients and Equivity managers within one hour during their stated availability.

If you're an experienced paralegal who appreciates autonomy, remote flexibility, and the opportunity to work with multiple legal teams, this assignment-based model may be a strong fit.

What You’ll Do:

• Manage insurance defense cases from inception through resolution, including discovery, mediation, and trial preparation. 
• Maintain organized electronic case files and ensure all deadlines are met. 
• Draft, edit, and file pleadings, motions, subpoenas, discovery requests and responses, notices, and other litigation documents. 
• Coordinate e-filings and maintain accurate proof of service and filing records. 
• Review, organize, and summarize medical records, claim files, expert reports, deposition transcripts, business records, and other case-related documents. 
• Assist with preparation of written discovery, document production, privilege logs, and case management reports. 
• Coordinate depositions, inspections, independent medical examinations, mediations, expert consultations, and hearings. 
• Communicate professionally with clients, insurance carriers, adjusters, experts, opposing counsel, court personnel, and other parties. 
• Prepare exhibits, witness lists, trial binders, mediation materials, and other litigation support documents. 
• Maintain litigation calendars, monitor court deadlines, and ensure case files and correspondence are accurately maintained. 
• Assist attorneys with trial preparation and other case-related projects as needed. 

About You:

• 3+ years of insurance defense paralegal experience 
• Bachelor's Degree Required 
• Minimum availability of 20 hours/week to start

• Ability to work independently and manage multiple active litigation matters 
• Strong attention to detail and communication skills 
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Adobe 
• Experience with legal software such as Clio, Filevine, or similar platforms is a plus 
• Windows-based computer preferred 
• Availability and responsiveness within 1 hour during standard business hours (9:00 AM – 6:00 PM) 

Compensation and Work Structure

• W-2 employment 
• Compensation: $26 per hour 
• Assignment-based work with client assignments determined by demand, qualifications, and availability 
• Assignment volume and hours may vary 
• Client assignments may take time to develop and are not guaranteed immediately upon joining
