Job Description

About the Opportunity

Equivity is seeking an experienced Florida Paralegal with at least three years of experience working in a California law firm. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of Florida court procedures and experience supporting at least one of the following areas of law: civil litigation, family law, personal injury, probate, or related practice areas.

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

• Communicating professionally with clients, courts, opposing counsel, experts, vendors, and other third parties
• Maintaining accurate case information within legal practice management systems

Compensation and Work Structure

• Compensation: $26 per hour 
• Assignment-based work with client assignments determined by demand, qualifications, and availability 
• Assignment volume and hours may vary 
• Client assignments may take time to develop and are not guaranteed immediately upon joining 

Benefits

• Annual performance bonus
• 6-month performance review with potential pay increase
