Salary: $85,000–$100,000 + Performance Bonus

Established Houston personal injury law firm seeking an experienced Senior Litigation Paralegal to work directly with attorneys and manage cases from filing through mediation, settlement, and trial preparation.

• Coordinate service, depositions, mediations, hearings, experts, and inspections
• Communicate with clients regarding litigation matters
• Organize medical records, bills, employment records, and damages evidence
• Prepare medical chronologies, mediation materials, exhibits, and trial notebooks
• Assist with expert designations and trial preparation
• Identify stalled cases, upcoming issues, and matters requiring attorney attention
• Maintain accurate and organized electronic case files

Qualifications

• 5+ years of litigation paralegal experience
• Plaintiff-side personal injury experience strongly preferred
• Strong knowledge of Texas state court practice and Texas Rules of Civil Procedure
• Harris County litigation experience preferred
• Experience with discovery, depositions, and deadline management
• Strong writing, organization, and communication skills
• Ability to independently manage a substantial caseload
• Legal case-management software experience; Filevine is a plus

Who Will Succeed Here

We want someone who takes ownership of the litigation docket, anticipates deadlines and problems before they arise, keeps attorneys informed, and consistently moves cases forward.

We value accountability, preparation, organization, and follow-through.

Compensation

$85,000–$100,000 annually , depending on experience, plus potential performance-based bonus.

This position is intended for an experienced litigation professional capable of handling substantial responsibility.
