Paralegal

Our client, a legal services company based in Center City Philadelphia, is looking for a part-time Paralegal to support its civil litigation practice.

Candidates should be comfortable managing multiple case files simultaneously and communicating with clients, opposing counsel, and court personnel as needed.
