Job Description

Job Description

Equivity is seeking an experienced Insurance Defense Paralegal to support attorneys handling a broad range of insurance-related litigation matters, including bodily injury claims, premises liability, construction defect, property damage disputes, transportation and trucking matters, professional liability claims, product liability cases, coverage disputes, bad faith litigation, and general liability defense.

In this role, you’ll work as part of a dedicated, long-term team of legal professionals, partnering directly with attorneys while remaining fully supported by Equivity’s internal operations and leadership. We are looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented professional with strong personal injury experience who can manage active case files, communicate professionally with clients and providers, track deadlines, and thrive in a remote environment.

What You’ll Do:

  • Manage insurance defense cases from inception through resolution, including discovery, mediation, and trial preparation.
  • Maintain organized electronic case files and ensure all deadlines are met.
  • Draft, edit, and file pleadings, motions, subpoenas, discovery requests and responses, notices, and other litigation documents.
  • Coordinate e-filings and maintain accurate proof of service and filing records.
  • Review, organize, and summarize medical records, claim files, expert reports, deposition transcripts, business records, and other case-related documents.
  • Assist with preparation of written discovery, document production, privilege logs, and case management reports.
  • Coordinate depositions, inspections, independent medical examinations, mediations, expert consultations, and hearings.
  • Communicate professionally with clients, insurance carriers, adjusters, experts, opposing counsel, court personnel, and other parties.
  • Prepare exhibits, witness lists, trial binders, mediation materials, and other litigation support documents.
  • Maintain litigation calendars, monitor court deadlines, and ensure case files and correspondence are accurately maintained.
  • Assist attorneys with trial preparation and other case-related projects as needed.

About You:

  • 3+ years of insurance defense paralegal experience
  • Bachelor's Degree Required
  • Minimum availability of 20 hours/week to start
  • Experience supporting insurance defense, general liability, construction defect, premises liability, transportation, property damage, professional liability, coverage, or related litigation matters
  • Strong understanding of civil litigation procedures, discovery, case management, and trial preparation
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple active litigation matters
  • Strong attention to detail and communication skills
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Adobe
  • Experience with legal software such as Clio, Filevine, or similar platforms is a plus
  • Windows-based computer preferred
  • Availability and responsiveness within 1 hour during standard business hours (9:00 AM – 6:00 PM)

Why You’ll Love Working Here

At Equivity, you are part of a dedicated, internally managed team of legal professionals—not a temporary placement. We provide ongoing work with established attorneys while maintaining the flexibility of remote work. You’ll be supported by an experienced operations team and work in a collaborative, professional environment that values quality and long-term relationships.

Compensation and benefits:

  • $26 per hour
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Paid sick time and employee discounts
  • Annual performance bonuses
  • 6-month pay review with potential hourly increase based on performance
  • Reimbursement of certain expenses
  • Professional development and advancement opportunities
  • Supportive and inclusive remote work culture
