Maintaining a working knowledge of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) and Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure (FRAP). Maintaining proficiency with the mechanics of e-filing using CM/ECF, NextGen, and USITC EDIS filing systems. Performing factual and legal research in databases including LexisNexis, Westlaw, Docket Navigator, PACER, EDIS, and the USPTO. Conducting searches on production databases for relevant documents using IPRO, Relativity, and other document management software. Preparing materials for depositions, hearings, trials, and arbitrations. Attending and providing support to attorneys at court and agency proceedings. Other litigation and trial support tasks. What will you bring to the role? At least 3 years of experience as a litigation paralegal. Bachelor's degree preferred. Some combination of trial experience and knowledge of IP litigation preferred. A team-player mentality. Proficient knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat, CompuLaw, Case Notebook, Relativity, and FileSite. Capable of “managing up,” flexible to respond quickly to shifting demands, ability to work under time constraints, handle multiple detailed tasks simultaneously, and prioritize appropriately. Deliver high-quality work product and work independently with minimal supervision in a fast-paced environment. Handle sensitive, confidential business information with the utmost discretion. Flexible to work overtime on an as-needed basis. Willing to attend trial out of state, as needed. The good faith base salary range for this position is $60,000 to $75,000 per year. The actual salary rate offered to candidates within that range will depend on a variety of factors, including without limitation, years of relevant experience, education, and the candidate’s overall qualifications for the position as assessed by the Firm. To Apply Please include a resume and cover letter in your application materials. Sterne Kessler is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
