Litigation Paralegal, Employment & Complex Civil Litigation

About the Role

Join a partner-led litigation team at a mid-sized law firm, supporting employment and complex civil matters from case inception through resolution. This role is important to keeping multiple cases organized, deadlines on track, and litigation work moving efficiently.

What You'll Do

• Support attorneys through all phases of litigation, including discovery, document review, trial preparation, and occasional appellate work.
• Draft and proofread pleadings, discovery requests and responses, subpoenas, and correspondence.
• Coordinate document productions and manage e-discovery workflows.
• Prepare deposition summaries, trial binders, exhibit lists, and witness files.
• Assist attorneys at hearings, trials, and client meetings.
• Conduct factual and legal research, support brief writing, and Bluebook-check citations.
• Maintain case files and calendars while managing competing deadlines across matters.

What We're Looking For

• At least five years of litigation paralegal experience, including complex civil litigation in a law firm, corporate legal department, or federal court practice.
• Defense-side litigation experience beyond insurance defense; plaintiffs' firm experience is not a fit for this role.
• Strong litigation support skills and experience with e-discovery platforms, Westlaw, LexisNexis, and PACER.
• Bluebook citation experience is preferred; employment law experience is also a plus.
• A bachelor's degree or paralegal certificate.
• Ability to prioritize competing deadlines and work steadily in a busy, partner-led team.
• Authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $70,000 to $100,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
