    Job Description

    Legal Assistant / Paralegal

    About the Firm

    We are a thriving, dynamic boutique law firm specializing in high-stakes employment law and business litigation. We believe you shouldn't have to choose between a premier legal career and an amazing workplace culture. Our team of 16–18 legal professionals prides itself on delivering exceptional, top-tier work quality while maintaining a collaborative, high-energy environment where we genuinely enjoy working together—both inside and outside the office.

    If you are feeling stuck, overworked, or underappreciated in your current role, this is your opportunity to join a firm that values your expertise, invests in your growth, and celebrates your success.

    The Opportunity

    In this dual-impact role, you will bridge the gap between legal assistant and paralegal duties, serving as a critical backbone to our litigation team. Working with a high degree of independence, you will manage complex cases, oversee critical timelines, and ensure our practice runs like a well-oiled machine.

    What You’ll Do

    • Master the Workflow: Manage comprehensive legal assistant and paralegal responsibilities with minimal supervision.
    • Own the Calendar: Spearhead strict legal calendaring and critical deadline tracking.
    • Drive Court Filings: Execute flawless legal filings in accordance with up-to-date civil procedure.
    • Collaborate & Elevate: Partner with a tight-knit team of professionals dedicated to exceptional advocacy and a supportive office culture.


    Requirements

     

    What You Bring

    • Experience: 5–7+ years of hands-on experience in a legal environment (litigation experience is highly valued).
    • Technical Expertise: Exceptional, rock-solid knowledge of civil procedure, legal calendaring, and filing systems.
    • Mindset: An ultra-detail-oriented professional who thrives when given the autonomy to work independently.
    • Credentials: A Paralegal Certificate is preferred, but equivalent stellar experience is absolutely welcome.


    Benefits

    What’s In It For You?

    • Compensation: Compelling hourly rate of $40.00 – $46.00 / hour.
    • Financial Growth: Generous 401(k) matching, a cash balance plan, and profit-sharing opportunities.
    • Health & Wellness: Robust, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
    • Time to Recharge: Generous paid time off (PTO) and a dedicated retirement plan.
