Employment Type: Full-Time

Block LLP is looking for an experienced Civil Litigation Paralegal to join our Habitability Department.

This role will support plaintiff-side cases involving unsafe housing conditions, landlord negligence, tenant harassment, wrongful eviction, and other housing-related disputes.
