ABOUT THE ROLE
Kick-start your legal career where the action is. We’re looking for a sharp, motivated recent graduate to join our litigation team as an entry-level paralegal—an ideal role for someone seriously considering law school and eager to build real-world experience before taking the next step. This is a front-row seat to high-stakes litigation, where you’ll work closely with attorneys, dig into complex matters, and develop skills that law school can’t teach in a classroom. If you’re intellectually curious, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and can commit to at least two years before law school or other pursuits, this is your chance to learn, grow, and make an impact from day one.


  • Build foundational knowledge of litigation procedures while developing proficiency with legal technology and firm systems.

  • Follow established procedures and instructions to deliver high-quality work, while learning to identify resources that improve efficiency.

  • Apply strong organizational skills to manage workflow, documents, and deadlines across matters, teams, and departments.

  • Identify issues as they arise and collaborate with attorneys and staff to help resolve problems effectively.

  • Assist in all phases of litigation—from case inception through trial or resolution—including document collection, review, and production.

  • Coordinate case documents and electronic discovery, working closely with the firm’s eDiscovery Resource Management team.

  • Support court filings and depositions by proofreading, cite-checking, Bluebook verification, preparing exhibits, subpoenas, and summaries.

  • Contribute to factual and legal research, witness and evidence tracking, and trial preparation and logistics, including attending trial as needed.


ABOUT YOU

  • Bachelor’s degree required, with a strong academic record.

  • Ability to work efficiently under direct supervision while meeting deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

  • Demonstrated sense of accountability, with the ability to take ownership of assignments from start to finish.

  • Exceptional attention to detail and a high level of accuracy in written and organizational work.

  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and adapt quickly as priorities shift.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate clearly and professionally with attorneys and team members.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Word, Outlook, Excel, and PowerPoint.

  • Flexibility to work overtime and travel as needed to meet business and client demands.
