    Job Description Are you a productivity nerd, discovery wiz-kid, who loves helping people and telling lawyers what to do? We're hiring a paralegal to assist our legal team in preparing legal documents, filing motions, coordinating law office activity, and conducting legal research. YOU: You're the organized, detail-obsessed powerhouse who keeps everyone on track. You're a productivity hacker, time-management pro, who loves systems that ensure everything gets done on time and everyone on your team (i.e., the lawyers) is where they need to be - ON TIME. You're tech-fluent (or tech-curious!), and you live for consistency, excellence, and clear communication. You're equal parts Zen and zesty, with the skills of a paralegal and the heart of a helper. You're probably the friend everyone goes to when they need a plan, a spreadsheet, or a fierce-but-loving reality check HERE IS WHAT YOU'LL DO AS OUR PARALEGAL You'll wear many hats. You're a master communicator (both verbally and in writing), staunch client advocate, detail diva, quick study, tech nerd, connected networker, drama diffuser, mailroom maven, sometime barista (as we all are), e-filing wiz, document automation wunderkind, and incredible spokesperson for the firm when needed. You'll be a professional. You promptly answer calls and emails, hit deadlines, and produce a high-quality work product.

You'll leverage the firm's legal tech stack to improve the quality of our work and client communications. You're either an AI/automated process guru already, or you're “AI-curious” and ready for the chance to dive in.

You'll serve the clients, our team, and our communities. We give without expectation. We practice compassion, integrity, and directed action for the highest and best good of as many human beings as possible. Our paralegal paramour will do the same. You live for personal and professional development. You love learning and can't stop yourself! And you're not just talking about continuing education credits that you HAVE to obtain to keep your job. You get that coaching, personal and professional growth, and commitment to lifting up those around you are the “stuff” that makes work meaningful and fun. (If you are not growing, you're dying. It's cliché but true. That's what makes it a cliche.) Please do not call the office about this role. Our team will contact you if your application is a fit for the next steps. Compensation: $42,500 - $65,000 yearly Responsibilities: CORE RESPONSIBILITIES - KPIS Client Care + Communication Be a compassionate and confident voice for clients Handle intake communications, client updates, and legal process handholding with grace and clarity Conduct client interviews, provide status updates, and assist clients with gathering and organizing financial documents (which can feel really overwhelming to them) Answer phones like you own the place, and maintain composure under fire Document Drafting + Filing Prepare legal documents, correspondence, and pleadings such as petitions, interrogatories, requests for production, hearing and deposition notices, pretrial orders, affidavits, and responses to written discovery and requests for production E-file like a boss and keep our case files buttoned up and beautiful Draft subpoenas and coordinate with process servers Maintain an efficient and organized digital case management system Legal Tech & Automation Embrace our tech stack and help us optimize it Support system-building, workflow management, and process improvements Use (and help train) AI tools to improve quality and consistency Calendar & Task Management Manage court dates, deadlines, and team schedules flawlessly (including the creation and management of effective reminder systems) Ensure the legal team has everything they need to achieve amazing results for clients in advance of every hearing, meeting, or court date Assist lawyers to prepare for trial and hearings by conducting discovery review, preparing and organizing exhibits and summaries, organizing and coordinating witnesses, filing motions and pretrial exhibit and witness lists, and assisting with client meetings and deposition preparation.
