Senior Trial Paralegal

A well-established San Francisco litigation firm is seeking an experienced, self-sufficient Litigation Trial Paralegal to provide immediate support on active litigation matters and an upcoming trial.

This opportunity is ideal for a senior paralegal who thrives in a fast-paced litigation environment and can independently manage pretrial and trial support responsibilities with minimal supervision.
