In this role, you will own the day-to-day progression of your cases—coordinating with attorneys, clients, courts, and third parties to keep matters moving forward. You’ll draft substantive pleadings and discovery, lead the discovery and inventory process (including tracing separate property funds and spotting “red flags” in financial disclosures), and help ensure every file is trial-ready. You’ll also maintain accurate calendaring, filings, and billable time so that both our clients and our internal teams can rely on precise, up-to-date information. This position is ideal for a detail-oriented, tech-savvy paralegal who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. If you enjoy complex problem-solving, take pride in meticulous work product, and want to build a long-term career in Texas family law within a firm that genuinely values work-life balance, this role will give you the platform and support to do your best work.
