• Conduct legal and factual research and prepare summaries, chronologies, exhibits, and other case materials.
• Gather information and coordinate with clients, witnesses, experts, courts, opposing counsel, and vendors.
• Prepare for and assist with depositions, hearings, mediations, arbitrations, and trials.
• Anticipate upcoming deadlines and case needs and help keep matters moving forward.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of substantive civil litigation paralegal experience.
• Strong discovery and eDiscovery experience.
• Knowledge of state and federal court procedures and electronic filing.
• Strong technology, organization, research, and case-management skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage competing deadlines.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• A proactive, dependable professional who is comfortable taking ownership of their work and working closely with attorneys and clients.
