Municipal Right-to-Know Paralegal - Own high-impact public records work

Newtown, PA - Hybrid

Help municipalities get transparency and compliance right

You’ll be the go-to Right-to-Know Law resource for attorneys and municipal clients who rely on you to get public records matters right the first time.

From the first request to the last appeal, you’ll be in the middle of the action on Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law issues, shaping what gets disclosed, what gets protected, and how fast it all happens.

You won’t just push paper – you’ll touch substantive public-sector legal work, work closely with attorneys, and directly support municipal decision-makers.

If you’ve handled RTKL or complex public records work and want to go deeper, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Work On

You’ll focus on Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law matters for municipal and government-related clients, supporting attorneys across the full life cycle of public records issues.

• Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law (RTKL) requests and responses
• Public records collection, review, and organization
• Disclosure, exemption, and redaction analysis
• RTKL appeals and proceedings before the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records (OOR)
• Municipal and government-related legal matters
• General litigation support tied to public-sector work
• Legal and factual research in administrative and municipal contexts

The core challenge: balance transparency, confidentiality, and tight deadlines in a high-volume public records environment.

What You'll Be Doing

• Assisting attorneys with Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law requests and responses
• Reviewing and organizing public records and supporting documentation
• Identifying records subject to disclosure, exemption, and redaction
• Preparing correspondence, filings, and other legal documents related to RTKL matters
• Supporting RTKL appeals and matters involving the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records (OOR)
• Conducting legal and factual research on public records and municipal issues
• Coordinating with attorneys, municipal clients, and government agencies
• Providing general litigation support on municipal and government-related matters
• Managing multiple RTKL matters and deadlines with minimal supervision
• Maintaining organized files and documentation for active and closed matters

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of paralegal or legal support experience
• Hands-on Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law / RTKL experience strongly preferred
• Background in municipal, government, administrative, or litigation work preferred
• Proven strength in organization and high-volume document review
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple matters and competing deadlines independently

The Experience That Will Really Get Our Attention

You’ve already handled Pennsylvania RTKL requests from intake through response, and you understand how to spot exemptions, apply redactions, and document your decisions. You don’t shy away from tight timelines, high stakes, or complex municipal fact patterns.

Maybe you’ve supported appeals before the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records or worked in a municipal or government setting where public records issues were part of your daily rhythm. You’re comfortable acting as the connective tissue between attorneys, municipal staff, and agencies.

Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law (RTKL) • public records requests • document review • exemptions and redactions • Pennsylvania Office of Open Records (OOR) • municipal law • government law • administrative law • litigation support • legal research

Why This Opportunity?

This is a chance to specialize in a niche that few paralegals truly master: Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law, public records, and municipal work.

You’ll work closely with attorneys, have direct impact on how municipalities respond to the public, and build a reputation as a trusted RTKL resource.

If you’re an experienced paralegal who wants substantive, visible public-sector work instead of routine files, this role puts you at the center of the action.

Interested?

If you’re ready to own Pennsylvania Right-to-Know work and deepen your municipal and public-sector expertise, we’d like to see your background.
