About You

  • Bachelor’s degree required
  • 3+ years of recent paralegal experience in a court-driven practice area
  • Comfortable drafting basic court pleadings and managing matters across multiple jurisdictions
  • Experience with e-filing systems and document-intensive workflows; familiarity with Clio is a plus
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including professional phone presence
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple active matters simultaneously
  • Comfortable working independently in a fully remote environment while remaining responsive during core business hours
  • Reliable home office setup with secure internet and phone access
