⚖️ Complex Litigation Paralegal | High-Autonomy Role | Work-Life Flexibility

Are you a litigation paralegal ready to take full ownership of your workload while working alongside a highly driven attorney in a collaborative, small-team environment? Robert Half is partnering on a unique opportunity for a Complex Litigation Paralegal supporting a dynamic civil practice with a diverse caseload.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, case-heavy environment and enjoys balancing independence with structure.

What You’ll Be Doing As A Paralegal

• Manage a high-volume caseload (90–110 matters) , including complex, multi-year litigation as well as shorter-cycle cases
• Support a broad mix of matters, including civil litigation, estate disputes, and family law
• Draft, format, and finalize pleadings, motions, discovery, and court filings for attorney review
• Maintain strict oversight of deadlines, calendars, and case progression across all matters
• Partner directly with the attorney to prepare for hearings, trials, and ongoing case strategy discussions
• Serve as a key liaison with clients, courts, and opposing counsel to keep matters moving efficiently
• Conduct legal research using tools like LexisNexis and analyze case materials to support strategy
• Utilize modern systems (cloud-based case management, MS Teams, Adobe) to manage workflow and documentation
• Assist with time tracking, billing coordination, and invoicing support

✅ What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of civil litigation experience , ideally handling more complex, multi-year cases
• Strong drafting experience across litigation documents (pleadings, discovery, etc.)
• Ability to manage competing priorities and stay ahead of deadlines in a structured workflow environment
• Comfortable working independently while maintaining accountability and communication cadence
• Tech-savvy with legal systems, e-filing, and document management tools
• Highly detail-oriented, organized, and proactive in managing caseloads

Why This Role Stands Out

• Autonomy & Ownership: Take full control of your cases from start to finish
• Flexible Culture: Supportive environment that understands real-life commitments
• Consistent Structure: Regular check-ins to keep priorities aligned and workflow on track
• Work Environment: Primarily in-office with flexibility (potential 3/2 hybrid for the right person)
• Exposure: Hands-on experience across multiple litigation areas in a close-knit practice

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation based on experience
• Simple IRA retirement plan
• 11 paid holidays + 10 additional PTO days to start
• Flexible scheduling when life happens

If you’re looking for a role where you can make an immediate impact, work closely with decision-makers, and truly own your work , this could be a great next step.
