Litigation Paralegal

Job Description

Job Description

Equivity is seeking an experienced remote litigation paralegal with recent law firm experience supporting attorneys in one or more litigation practice areas, including commercial litigation, personal injury, employment law, real estate litigation, insurance defense, construction litigation, business disputes, or general civil litigation.

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 litigation paralegal who appreciates autonomy, remote flexibility, and the opportunity to work with multiple legal teams, this assignment-based model may be a strong fit.
