Litigation Paralegal

Job Description Job Description Equivity is seeking an experienced remote litigation paralegal with recent law firm experience supporting attorneys in one or more litigation practice areas, including commercial litigation, personal injury, employment law, real estate litigation, insurance defense, construction litigation, business disputes, or general civil litigation. 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.
