Paralegal

The Role: We are looking for a full-time (hybrid) paralegal to support our attorneys across litigation, employment, and transactional matters. This is a hands-on role — you will be involved in real work from day one, not filing and answering phones. You will work directly with the managing partner and our litigation associates on active cases. Experience level is open. We are looking for the right person — someone who is organized, proactive, and takes pride in doing things right. If you are early in your career and hungry to learn, we want to hear from you. If you are experienced and looking for a firm where your work actually matters, we want to hear from you, too.

There will be stretches where things are busy, and everyone is moving fast. We don’t manufacture urgency, but we don’t apologize for it when it’s real. What we offer in return is work that matters, people who respect your time and your contribution, and a place where you can actually grow. We review every application personally. If you’re the right fit, you’ll hear from us. If you’re not, we’ll let you know that too.
