Job Description

Position Overview :

If you love the law, like actually love it , and can bring order to the chaos of a small, fast-moving litigation firm, you’ll fit right in. You’ll be the detail person, the structure, the one who catches what others miss and builds arguments that hold up.

Key Responsibilities :

Research case law and synthesize complex legal issues into concise, persuasive writing.
Draft and refine motions, oppositions, and other pleadings (crafting is valued over filing).
Analyze discovery materials and understand strategic implications in litigation.
Collaborate with the principal attorney to develop case theory and written strategy.
Work in tandem with the firm’s paralegal to ensure seamless case management and calendaring.
Draft compelling settlement demand packages that combine legal reasoning with storytelling.
Develop and maintain organizational systems that improve workflow and clarity.
Proactively follow up on action items and deadlines — without needing to be asked.

Qualifications :

Prior experience in civil litigation — ideally personal injury.

Strong command of legal writing and research; able to draft high-quality work independently.

Comfortable with Dropbox, Slack, and hybrid communication.

Understanding of civil procedure and discovery strategy preferred.

JD preferred but not required; experienced paralegals encouraged to apply.

Detail-oriented, methodical, and able to balance structure with flexibility.

Thrives in a high-volume, fast-moving practice and can adapt quickly to shifting priorities.

Ideal Personality :

Methodical and self-starting — you bring order where there is speed.

Enjoys working with an energetic, creative principal who moves fast and values trust.

Takes pride in precision, consistency, and crafting excellent work product.

Enjoys reading, learning, and translating complex legal material into clarity.

Independent, reliable, and proactive — you don’t wait to be told twice.
