Litigation Law Paralegal

Hastings Law Firm is a plaintiff’s medical malpractice firm with a national presence, but headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas. We represent patients and families who have suffered catastrophic injuries, brain injuries, birth injuries, and wrongful death due to medical negligence.

Our firm invests heavily in technology and innovation. We use modern case management systems to keep our team organized and efficient. If you are someone who gets excited about using technology to work smarter, you will thrive here.

We are looking for a paralegal with 2 to 5 years of experience in personal injury or medical malpractice litigation who wants to grow into a long-term career in medical malpractice work. The right candidate will have a strong foundation and the drive to develop into someone we rely on.

Work directly with attorneys on all phases of medical malpractice litigation, from initial case evaluation through trial preparation

Review, organize, and analyze large-volume medical records, identifying key entries and building case timelines

Draft and file pleadings, discovery responses, correspondence, and other legal documents

Coordinate with medical experts, including scheduling, record delivery, and follow-up

Conduct targeted legal and medical research as needed

2 to 5 years of experience as a paralegal or legal assistant in personal injury or medical malpractice litigation

Strong technology skills — you are comfortable learning new software quickly and are not intimidated by technology

Critical thinking ability — you can read a medical record and start asking the right questions, not just summarize what you see

Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, especially when managing large document sets

Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel)

Experience with case management platforms (Filevine, Clio, or similar)

Familiarity with medical terminology and medical record review

Paralegal certificate or college degree (helpful but not required if you have strong experience)

Comfort with AI tools, data analysis, or legal technology

When you see a medical record, you want to understand what happened and why it matters — not just file it away. Direct exposure to complex, meaningful cases — not assembly-line personal injury work

Access to cutting-edge legal technology and AI tools built specifically for our practice

Mentorship from experienced attorneys, including a board-certified personal injury trial lawyer with 24 years of experience

Competitive salary and benefits including health insurance, life insurance, 401(k) with employer match, and paid time off
