We're working with a thriving mid-sized law firm in Raleigh, NC that is actively seeking a Senior Litigation Paralegal to join its dynamic team. This is an incredible opportunity to become an integral part of a collaborative environment where your expertise in complex commercial litigation, construction law, contract disputes, real property, and community association law will be highly valued.

Manage complex litigation dockets in state and federal court.

Draft and manage pleadings, subpoenas, and discovery documents with minimal supervision.

Coordinate and track all aspects of discovery, including document management, privilege reviews, and production.

Understand case facts, claims, defenses, and procedural posture.

Anticipate discovery and evidence needs to support claims or defenses.

Assist in case strategy development and trial preparation.

Monitor deadlines, manage docketing systems, and ensure procedural compliance.

Maintain organized files, prepare chronologies and timelines, and assist with deposition / trial exhibits.

Accurately and consistently track and bill time.

What We're Looking For :

5+ years of litigation paralegal experience, preferably in a law firm.
