Description

My client is a fast-growing plaintiff-side litigation boutique formed partners with a background in elite appellate and complex litigation work. The team brings a rigorous, high-caliber approach to mass torts and appellate litigation. This firm is building a lean, dynamic team that values precision, ownership, and adaptability.

About the Role: This is not your ordinary Paralegal role. We’re not just looking for someone to check boxes—we’re looking for someone who wants to build. This role is ideal for a paralegal who’s eager, ambitious, and motivated—someone who thrives in a fast-paced, startup-style environment and wants to be part of something bigger than themselves.

As our Paralegal, you’ll be deeply involved in meaningful, high-stakes litigation, but you’ll also have the chance to shape internal processes, take ownership of key workflows, and grow with the firm. Above all else, we want someone who sees this as more than just a job—someone who takes pride in their work, is hungry to learn, and is excited by the idea of being a foundational team member at a firm on the rise.

What We’re Looking For:

+ A self-starter who takes initiative, thinks critically, and executes with care

+ Someone who is hungry to grow—not just professionally, but as a core contributor to a larger mission

+ Comfortable wearing multiple hats and jumping in wherever needed—this is a startup-style team, and flexibility is key

+ Emotionally intelligent, highly dependable, and driven by pride in producing excellent work

+ Motivated by being part of a lean team where your voice matters and your contributions are visible

+ Able to handle pressure, juggle multiple deadlines, and still maintain high attention to detail

+ Open to feedback and genuinely interested in continuous learning and development

+ Has experience with civil litigation or complex litigation (including trial preparation)

+ Has experience with managing tight court deadlines and filing documents with state and federal courts

What You’ll Do:

+ Support complex state and federal litigation filings, including cite-checking, Blue booking, and ensuring compliance with court rules

+ Manage court dockets, deadlines, and filings (primarily federal, with occasional state work)

+ Assist attorneys with document preparation, briefing logistics, case summaries, and legal research

+ Communicate with clients and external stakeholders when needed; contribute to intake systems and client coordination

+ Serve as a “go-to” problem-solver for legal operations: proposing process improvements, and managing case-related logistics

+ Collaborate with operations and case management staff to ensure high standards of client service and internal coordination

+ Handle tech-driven tools and litigation software to streamline internal workflows and filings

Requirements

What We’re Looking For:

+ 3+ years of experience as a litigation paralegal (complex litigation or appellate preferred)

+ Deep familiarity with federal filing systems, cite-checking, and litigation logistics

+ Detail-obsessed, deadline-driven, and able to anticipate next steps without being micromanaged

+ Strong communication skills—able to engage clients and coordinate with legal/ops teams professionally

+ Comfortable working in a startup-like legal environment where flexibility, initiative, and integrity matter

+ Familiarity with mass torts or high-volume plaintiff-side litigation a plus—but not required

+ Experience from a high-caliber litigation firm (e.g., big law) welcomed; however, we care more about execution and mindset than pedigree

Structure & Culture:

+ You’ll report directly to the firm’s two partners

+ You’ll coordinate frequently with the firm’s COO and three case managers (but won’t have direct reports)

+ Our culture values high performance, humility, and thoughtful independence

Perks & Compensation:

+ Flexible, generous performance-based bonus potential.

+ No formal benefit package offered at this time. In lieu of this, we offer a health insurance stipend.

+ Opportunities to grow with the firm and take on higher-level operational responsibilities over time.

+ Work-life balance, mentorship, and exposure to meaningful, high-impact litigation.
