Senior Paralegal (Corporate)

Paralegals here draft pleadings, manage the calendar and talk to clients every day. We practice general law in a small town, so one day might be a closing and the next a custody hearing. Billable target for associates is 1,800 hours.

Your responsibilities

• Draft pleadings, discovery requests and responses, and correspondence for attorney review.
• Research public records, dockets and corporate filings.
• Prepare trial binders, exhibit lists and witness folders.
• Calendar court deadlines, hearings and statute of limitations dates in Clio.
• File documents with state and federal courts through e-filing and PACER.

Who you are

• Experience with case management software such as Clio, PracticePanther or Filevine.
• Organized and able to manage deadlines across 40+ active files.
• Discreet with privileged and confidential information.
• Strong Microsoft Word skills, including tables of authorities and tracked changes.
• Paralegal certificate from an ABA-approved program, or a bachelor's degree with equivalent experience.
• Able to work extra hours before trial or major filings.
