Job Description

We are looking for a talented individual to join our team as a Senior Paralegal who will lead our organization's paralegal function and serve as the primary point of contact for employees, outside counsel, and insurers on litigation and dispute matters. The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of in-house and law firm/litigation experience, understanding both the rigor of formal legal process and the relationship-driven approach needed to work directly with internal business teams. This role manages case work of varying complexity - from independently handling smaller claims to supporting outside counsel on larger litigation. The successful candidate is highly organized, comfortable balancing legal precision with business partnership, and confident operating with a high degree of independence.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Serve as the primary liaison between employees, outside counsel, and insurers on disputes and litigation matters, gathering information from internal business teams to support legal strategy and ensure timely review and response to legal questions.
  • Independently manage smaller claims and matters end-to-end, while managing and overseeing larger litigation and claims assigned to outside counsel, including conducting research and preparing documents for court proceedings and legal transactions.
  • Draft, review, and revise legal documents, including correspondence, settlement agreements, briefs, pleadings, and discovery responses, ensuring citations are complete and consistent with source material.
  • Conduct fact-finding, data collection, and witness interviews to support case preparation, and assist in developing search term criteria for document collection and discovery.
  • Demonstrate expert-level e-discovery and document review capabilities, and organize, archive, and maintain large volumes of litigation-related documents and records across hard copy and electronic systems.
  • Maintain legal calendars and docketing deadlines, access court dockets and electronic filing systems, and track legal expenditures and insurance claims.
  • Field and direct questions from internal business teams in an organized and timely manner, working independently under minimal instruction or supervision to meet deadlines.
  • Support employment law compliance projects and may conduct or assist with related trainings.

  • 10+ years of experience working in a law firm or in-house legal department, with demonstrated experience in both settings preferred
  • Expert-level litigation support experience, including e-discovery and document review
