About The Position

As a Civil Litigation Paralegal, you will be a key part of an active litigation practice, supporting attorneys across the full lifecycle of civil matters. This role requires more than general administrative support: you should already have strong civil litigation experience, practical knowledge of litigation procedure, and the judgment to anticipate what needs to happen next. You will work on pleadings, discovery, court filings, litigation deadlines, case organization, client communication, and hearing and trial preparation. The right person will be detail-oriented, highly organized, and comfortable working proactively and independently without needing step-by-step instruction for routine litigation tasks.
