Litigation Paralegal

Litigation Paralegal Job Description

Company Overview

Apex Service Partners is the worldwide leader in residential home services. Founded in 2019, the Company has experienced massive growth and is now in over 100 locations in 48 states and has over 13,000 talented team members. The Company’s revenue is approaching $3 billion annually, and that number continues to grow rapidly.

The residential home services industry is highly fragmented and is dominated by small and founder-owned businesses. Apex has pursued an aggressive strategy to grow its business organically and through a high volume of acquisitions (over 300 closed to date). Although Apex is the largest player in the industry, it has less than 2% of the market, meaning we have lots of room to grow. Importantly, we are building our Company with a long-term strategy, which means we will invest in top talent and intend to create an enduring firm that is a great employer and member of the community, in addition to being successful in a business sense. 

Position Overview

We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Litigation Paralegal to support the rest of the litigation team. The ideal candidate for this new role will have 5 to 7 years of experience in a legal role and be comfortable working in a very fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. This role requires strong administrative, organizational, and communication skills, as well as a working knowledge of legal procedures, documents, and terminology. Our mission is to support the Apex's explosive growth, identify and mitigate hidden risks, help protect the brand and build a “fortress company,” and ensure legal, regulatory, and corporate compliance. 

If you like a high-energy work environment – filled with bright and driven leaders – and have a thirst to contribute to high-achieving teams, this will be a great fit. Your growth here could be virtually unlimited, given the Company’s trajectory.
