We’re looking for a paralegal who doesn’t just “process tasks,” but owns outcomes: someone who spots issues early, improves systems, and helps the team move faster with confidence. You'll thrive here, if you’re the kind of person who thinks:

• “There’s a better way—let’s build it,”
• “I’ll figure it out,” and
• “I’m not afraid to take initiative,”

• Support attorneys in all stages of civil litigation (pre-suit through resolution)
• Draft and prepare routine pleadings, motions, notices, and correspondence (attorney-reviewed)
• Prepare and manage discovery (requests/responses, tracking, production coordination)
• Organize, Bates stamp, and quality-check document productions

Deadlines, Filing, and Case Control

• Manage calendaring: capture, calculate, and track all deadlines with redundancy and accuracy
• Organize and electronically file pleadings and discovery
• Maintain matter organization so any team member can quickly find “what matters, fast”

Communication & Client Experience

• Communicate with opposing counsel and judicial assistants professionally and promptly
• Provide consistent, clear client updates and help reduce confusion/inertia through proactive touchpoints
• Flag risks, missing information, and next steps before they become problems

Research & Operational Excellence

• Conduct legal research as needed
• Improve workflows/templates/checklists to reduce rework and increase consistency
• Use technology thoughtfully to accelerate drafting, summarizing, and organizing — without sacrificing accuracy or confidentiality

__________________________________________________________________________________ What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• Deadlines are tight, reliable, and never “surprising”
• Your cases are organized, searchable, and easy to hand off
• Drafts and discovery packages require fewer revisions over time
• Attorneys trust you to anticipate next steps and identify issues early
• Clients feel informed, supported, and guided

__________________________________________________________________________________ Must-Have Qualifications

• 3+ years experience in real estate litigation, HOA/COA, and/or foreclosure (or closely related civil litigation)
• Strong organizational and time-management skills in a fast-paced environment
• Confident remote worker: responsive, accountable, and able to self-manage priorities
• Solutions-oriented judgment: you don’t just identify problems—you propose options

___________________________________________________________________________________

• Prior remote work experience
• Familiarity with Clio Manage and Clio Grow
• Comfort with e-filing portals, document management best practices, and creating templates/checklists
• Practical experience using modern tools (e.g., PDF workflows, digital signature tools, and AI-assisted drafting/summarization under supervision)

___________________________________________________________________________________ The Kind of Teammate We’re Looking For We are intentionally hiring for these traits:

• Resourceful: You can navigate ambiguity, find answers, and unblock progress.
• Curious: You ask smart questions, learn quickly, and look for root causes.
• Fearless: You take initiative, speak up early, and aren’t intimidated by new systems or hard problems.
• High ownership: You treat deadlines, quality, and client experiences like they’re yours.
• Calm under pressure: You bring order when things get busy.
