Sr. Litigation Paralegal
We are looking for an experienced Sr. Litigation Paralegal to join our on-site legal team in Los Angeles, California. This position supports ex-Big Law attorneys who started their own firm handling high-end, complex, federal cases. The personality fit for this Sr. Litigation Paralegal is someone who enjoys being client-facing and wants to be a part of the camaraderie of the firm – no ‘camera off’ people who just click in and out (this role will interact with clients on Zoom calls and have a public face, not just back-office!).
Perks of Firm:
· Firm is strict about quality! They have fewer cases and handle them at a high standard; it’s not high volume.
· “If the paralegal has a better way of doing something, we are open to that!” Can help shape processes + procedures of the firm.
· Firm does interesting work: white collar criminal investigations, financial mismanagement, harassment and discrimination, all fascinating cases and fact patterns!
· “We take our work seriously but not ourselves! We like to have fun!” They go out to lunch for birthdays, Dodger games, etc.
· Majority women-owned.
Compensation:
· Salary: $90-130K (high end reserved for paralegals who have worked at large or notable firms)
· Bonus: Discretionary performance bonus, year-end (focused on contributions and quality of work).
· Benefits:
o Healthcare: Blue Cross, a PPO or HMO is available. They pay 100% of employee premiums.
o PTO: 2 weeks, but flexible if you need to take more time you can (unpaid). They observe all federal holidays.
o Other Benefits: $50 per month cell phone allowance and if working from home, can provide equipment.
Responsibilities:
• Propounding and responding to discovery, and assisting with e-discovery activities.
• Drafting pleadings, motions, correspondence, and other litigation documents.
• Preparing for trial: exhibits, hearing notebooks, trial binders, etc.
• Conducting legal research to support case development and attorney preparation.
Qualifications:
• 7+ years of civil litigation experience as a paralegal, on the defense side.
• Knowledge of eDiscovery processes (and familiarity with Ever Law, Relativity, or Disco).
• Proven ability to assist with trial preparation and manage large volumes of case materials with a high degree of accuracy.
• Experience billing out time (though there is not a requirement for billable hours). Paralegal certificate is preferred but not required.
• Ability to commute daily to downtown LA (parking provided)
