Remote Paralegal — Civil Rights & Employment Litigation

We’re partnering with a respected Santa Fe–based civil rights and employment law practice to hire a skilled Litigation Paralegal. This is a remote role, but candidates must have meaningful experience with New Mexico legal practice, courts, filings, procedures, or litigation support.
You’ll work directly with a lead attorney known for being both sharp and grounded, contributing to high-impact cases involving civil rights violations, workplace discrimination, and police misconduct.
This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in complex litigation, values mission-driven work, and wants to be part of a small team that treats people like people—not paperwork.

What Makes This Different?

  • Top-dollar pay for the right skill set
  • Remote work with meaningful, high-level legal work
  • Real influence on important cases
  • A leader who respects boundaries, brilliance, and strong work product
  • Mission-driven litigation with real human impact

Remote position. Candidates must be able to work effectively with a New Mexico-based practice and have prior New Mexico legal/litigation experience.

  • Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, and correspondence
  • Format and cite-check briefs, including appellate filings
  • Manage deadlines, organize case files, and handle discovery
  • Conduct legal research and summarize findings
  • Support trial preparation, including exhibits, jury instructions, and witness materials
  • Communicate with courts, experts, clients, and opposing counsel
  • Maintain organized, accurate case documentation in a remote work environment

Qualifications

  • Prior New Mexico legal or litigation experience required
  • 2+ years of litigation paralegal experience; civil rights or employment law experience a plus
  • Paralegal certificate or bachelor’s degree preferred
  • Strong research, writing, cite-checking, and organizational skills
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Adobe, and legal research databases such as Lexis or Westlaw
  • Ability to manage deadlines independently in a remote setting
  • Poise, discretion, emotional intelligence, and excellent judgment

Compensation & Benefits

Very competitive compensation, depending on experience.
Benefits for full-time employees include medical coverage, generous PTO, and 401(k) with match.
This is an opportunity to do meaningful, high-level litigation work in a supportive, mission-driven practice while working remotely.
