Litigation Paralegal, great people to work with
Job Description
Job Description
Location: Washington, DC (1–2 blocks from three Metro lines)
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Compensation: $90,000–$120,000 annually + paid overtime
About the Opportunity
A highly respected East Coast boutique litigation firm is seeking an experienced Litigation Paralegal to support a sophisticated, fast-paced practice. The firm is a national leader in gaming law, handling approximately 70% gaming-related litigation and 30% white-collar matters, and is consistently at the forefront of this evolving area of law.
This role offers the opportunity to work on complex, high-profile litigation in a collaborative environment that provides meaningful responsibility, professional growth, and a healthier work-life balance than traditional large law firms.
Schedule & Flexibility
- 35-hour workweek with paid overtime
- Flexible start/end times (+/– 30 minutes)
- First 90 days: Fully in-office for training
- After ramp-up: Hybrid schedule (1–2 days remote / 3–4 days in-office)
About the Role
The Litigation Paralegal will be deeply involved in all stages of complex litigation and must be comfortable working independently. This role is best suited for a seasoned paralegal with strong drafting skills and experience in sophisticated litigation matters at a medium to large law firm.
Candidates must have experience drafting pleadings from scratch (not template-based or personal injury work).
Key Responsibilities
- Manage all phases of litigation, including discovery, motion practice, hearings, and trial preparation
- Draft, proofread, and finalize pleadings, discovery responses, correspondence, and pretrial materials
- Oversee document organization, e-discovery workflows, and case file maintenance
- Assist attorneys with depositions, hearings, and trials, including exhibits and logistics
- Conduct legal and factual research using standard litigation tools
- Communicate professionally with courts, clients, and opposing counsel
- Maintain strict deadlines and compliance with federal and state court rules
Qualifications
- Minimum 5 years of litigation paralegal experience in complex or specialized litigation
- Experience must be from a medium to large law firm
- Demonstrated experience drafting pleadings without templates
- Strong command of federal and state court procedures, e-filing, and litigation timelines
- Proficiency with Westlaw, PACER, e-discovery platforms, and document management systems
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities independently
Education Requirements:
- AA in Paralegal Studies or Criminal Justice accepted
- No degree required if experience is a strong match
Why This Role Stands Out
- Elite, cutting-edge litigation in gaming and white-collar matters
- Direct exposure to complex, high-stakes cases
- Predictable hours with paid overtime
- Hybrid flexibility after training
- Collegial, high-performing team with long-term stability
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Short- and long-term disability
- Generous PTO
- 401(k) with match
- Commuter benefits and more
