Senior Trial Paralegal

Senior Trial Paralegal

Cerami Search Group is partnering with a highly respected Dallas law firm seeking an experienced Senior Trial Paralegal to support complex commercial litigation matters. This opportunity is built for a true trial paralegal — someone who thrives in high-stakes environments, understands the pace and pressure of trial work, and plays a critical role from discovery through verdict. This is not an entry-level position. You'll be deeply involved in trial preparation, e-discovery management, and in-court support, working alongside seasoned trial attorneys handling sophisticated litigation.

What You'll Do

• Support commercial litigation matters from case inception through trial
• Lead and assist with trial preparation — exhibits, witness files, trial binders, and courtroom logistics
• Manage and coordinate e-discovery, including document review, productions, databases, and vendors
• Assist attorneys during trials, hearings, depositions, and mediations
• Prepare and manage pleadings, motions, subpoenas, and discovery responses
• Organize expert materials, demonstratives, and trial technology
• Keep cases moving efficiently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment

What They're Looking For

• 5+ years of heavy commercial litigation trial experience (law firm required)
• Proven hands-on trial prep and in-court support experience
• Strong e-discovery background and comfort with litigation databases
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive
• Composed and confident in high-intensity trial settings
• Team-oriented professional who anticipates attorney needs and takes ownership

Why This Role Stands Out

• Meaningful, hands-on involvement in real trials
• Sophisticated commercial litigation docket
• Trial-focused attorneys who truly value paralegals
• Competitive compensation and long-term career stability
• Convenient west Houston location just outside the 610 Loop
