Senior Corporate Paralegal

Stability with backing. An established global brand in commercial building products, part of a multi-billion-dollar, NYSE-listed parent company. In-house, with a lean and senior legal team. You work directly with the General Counsel’s team and the business leaders who hold the facts. Manage disputes and litigation matters from first letter to resolution, with the authority to move them forward. The volume is manageable, so the standard is doing each matter well. Resolve disputes before they become lawsuits. Pre-litigation claims work is the heart of the role. Your judgment and follow-through directly shape how matters end. A role that carries real weight. This team sees the paralegal as the owner of the matters in their care. You will be trusted, and expected, to act like it. Fully remote. The legal department works remotely. You keep Eastern Time business hours wherever you live. WHAT YOU’LL DO Take in new claims and demand letters, gather the product, warranty, or employment facts, and set up the first conversations with the right business and HR leaders. Draft correspondence to counterparties and drive offers and counteroffers toward resolution, handling lower-exposure matters yourself and escalating to counsel with sound judgment. When a matter goes to suit, issue litigation holds, lead document collection and production, draft discovery responses, and review pleadings with internal and outside counsel. Keep the dispute and litigation databases accurate, track every deadline, and deliver a weekly status report on all open matters. Review and interpret contract provisions as matters require. Serve as second chair in occasional internal investigations: sharp notes, and the follow-up question the attorney may have missed. THE RIGHT CANDIDATE Education & Technical Skills Bachelor’s degree in law, business administration, or a related field. 5+ years as a litigation paralegal. Breadth across dispute types is preferred. Hands-on command of litigation holds, document production, discovery responses, and deadline management is required. .Proficiency with legal matter management and e-discovery software is required. Experience with construction claims, product liability, or employment practice matters is a plus. Corporate legal department experience is a plus. You do what you say you will do, on time, without reminders. You prioritize well under deadline pressure, and you know when something urgent has to come first. You are comfortable pressing busy executives for what a matter needs, firmly and tactfully. You hold your boundaries: you can say no nicely and point a non-legal request to the right place. You bring mature judgment and discretion, and you know which matters need an attorney’s eyes. You prefer driving a process to completion over chasing quick wins. #J-18808-Ljbffr
