Easy Apply now by clicking the "Quick Apply" button and sending us your resume. Salary: $75,000 - $85,000 per year A bit about us: We are an established, nationally recognized plaintiff-side litigation firm known for taking on significant, complex, and often high-profile cases. Our attorneys represent individuals facing powerful defendants across personal injury, sexual abuse, mass tort, product liability, workplace injury, and complex civil litigation. This is a true litigation environment—not a high-volume settlement shop. Cases are handled with the expectation that they may ultimately go to trial, and the firm has built its reputation on taking on difficult matters and pursuing meaningful results for its clients. The team continues to grow, and with several significant multi-plaintiff matters underway, we are adding an experienced Litigation Paralegal to provide additional depth and support. Why join us? Work alongside experienced trial attorneys on meaningful plaintiff-side litigation. Take true ownership rather than being limited to one narrow piece of the case. Join a firm that continues to grow and is adding support because of increased workload. Gain exposure to sophisticated, complex, and potentially high-profile matters. Have direct visibility with the attorney you support and make an immediate impact. Work in an environment where strong paralegals are trusted to manage details independently. No waiting for someone to leave to create opportunity — the need is driven by current workload and growth. Job Details What you'll be doing: Provide direct litigation support to an associate attorney managing an active caseload. Manage matters and case details from opening through resolution. Handle electronic filing accurately and within required deadlines. Track deadlines, court filings, case documents, correspondence, and follow-up items. Organize and maintain files so the attorney has immediate access to what is needed. Coordinate day-to-day activity across multiple active matters. Assist with the full range of paralegal responsibilities required to keep cases progressing. Step into legal assistant and administrative responsibilities when necessary. Prioritize competing deadlines and shift quickly when case needs change. Communicate effectively with attorneys, clients, courts, opposing counsel, and other parties as appropriate. Bring structure and organization to a very busy litigation environment. What we're looking for: 3+ years of experience working within a law firm environment. Strong, hands-on e-filing experience. Litigation experience supporting attorneys with active caseloads. Strong understanding of court deadlines and the importance of accurate, timely filings. Ability to independently organize competing priorities and keep matters moving. Comfortable working in a high-volume, fast-paced law firm. Willingness to handle both substantive paralegal responsibilities and administrative/legal assistant work when needed. Strong sense of urgency, ownership, accountability, and attention to detail. Plaintiff-side litigation experience is preferred but not required for someone with strong transferable litigation experience.
