Job Description
We’re a growing law firm looking for a reliable paralegal who already understands how legal work actually gets done. This is not a training role — you should be comfortable stepping in and supporting attorneys without needing constant direction.
You’ll be involved in day-to-day legal support across case preparation, document handling, and communication. That includes drafting and formatting legal documents, organizing case files, tracking deadlines, and assisting with filings in both state and federal courts. You should be familiar with the pace and expectations inside a law firm environment and able to keep things moving without things slipping through the cracks.
We need someone who can manage multiple matters at once, stay detail-focused under pressure, and communicate clearly with attorneys, clients, and external parties. A big part of the role is making sure documents are accurate, deadlines are met, and nothing gets lost in the process.
You should already have hands-on experience working in a law firm for at least 2 years and be comfortable with tools commonly used in legal workflows, including Microsoft Office (especially Word and Outlook), document management systems like iManage or NetDocuments, legal research platforms such as Westlaw or LexisNexis, and e-filing systems (PACER/ECF). Familiarity with time tracking or billing software like Clio or PracticePanther is also expected.
We’re looking for someone dependable, organized, and proactive — someone who doesn’t wait to be told what to do next but understands how to support attorneys effectively.
If you’ve worked inside a law firm before and can handle the workload without hand-holding, we’d like to hear from you.
