Paralegal

Position Summary

We’re hiring a Paralegal to take ownership of an active caseload and shepherd each matter from opening through conclusion. You’ll partner closely with attorneys on strategy, act as the go-to contact for clients assigned to your files, and keep every moving piece organized and on schedule. This is a self-directed role — success depends on strong judgment, disciplined follow-through, and the ability to hold multiple cases at once without letting anything slip. A well-run caseload here means happier clients, stronger outcomes, and a more efficient legal team overall.

What You’ll Do

• Own the client relationship on your assigned matters — answer questions, deliver status updates, and make sure attorneys are looped in on anything that affects direction or strategy.
• Carry cases from intake through resolution, keeping deadlines, next steps, and open items visible and on pace.
• Build detailed financial profiles for clients by pulling together asset, liability, and income data that attorneys rely on when shaping legal strategy.
• Assemble case packets and supporting documentation so attorneys can walk into any conversation or filing fully prepared.
• Audit files on a regular cadence to flag gaps, chase down missing records, and keep clients current on documentation requests and payment arrangements.
• Track billable time accurately and log every meaningful case event in the firm’s practice management platform so billing and case history stay clean.

What We’re Looking For

• Associate’s degree or above.
• At least two years working as a paralegal or in a comparable case management capacity.
• A track record of running a caseload on your own — start to finish — without loss of accuracy or momentum.
• Comfort working with numbers; you can look at a client’s financial picture and understand what it’s telling you.
• Experience juggling a high volume of client touchpoints and paperwork while keeping everything confidential and orderly.
• Sharp written and spoken communication; you can translate legal and financial detail into something clients actually understand.
• Working knowledge of Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive), Microsoft Word and Excel, and Adobe Acrobat.
• Organized to the point that nothing falls through the cracks, even when everything feels urgent.

Nice to Have

• Formal paralegal certification.
• Background in tax, bankruptcy, or real estate practice areas.
• Real fluency with financial statements, tax filings, and related documentation.

How Success Is Measured

• Hit at least 1,200 billable hours per year.
• Keep your caseload moving at the pace the firm expects, aligned with internal timelines and standards.
• Clients feel heard, informed, and respected throughout their matter.
• Case records and documentation are clean, complete, and audit-ready.
