Compensation: $75,000–$90,000 annually + benefits
About the Opportunity
A boutique Washington, DC litigation firm is seeking an experienced Litigation Paralegal to support a busy team handling complex white-collar and regulatory matters, as well as high-profile litigation involving emerging industries such as gaming, technology, and fintech.
This is a full-time, in-office role within a collaborative, tight-knit environment known for offering meaningful responsibility, professional growth, and strong work-life balance compared to traditional large law firms.
About the Role
The Litigation Paralegal will be deeply involved in all stages of litigation and must be proactive, highly organized, and comfortable managing multiple priorities. The ideal candidate brings seasoned experience in case management, trial support, and sophisticated litigation procedures.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage all phases of litigation, including case intake, discovery, motion practice, and trial preparation
- Draft, proofread, and finalize pleadings, discovery responses, correspondence, and pre-trial materials
- Oversee document organization, e-discovery workflows, and case file maintenance
- Assist attorneys during depositions, hearings, and trials, including handling exhibits and logistics
- Conduct legal and factual research using standard research tools
- Communicate professionally with clients, courts, and opposing counsel under attorney supervision
- Mentor and oversee a junior paralegal, delegating and reviewing tasks as necessary
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree required; paralegal certificate preferred
- 5+ years of litigation paralegal experience, ideally in complex or specialized litigation
- Demonstrated experience supporting trial preparation, arbitration, and high-volume case activity
- Strong command of federal and state court rules, e-filing procedures, and litigation timelines
- Proficiency with Westlaw, PACER, e-discovery tools, and document management systems
- Exceptional attention to detail, organization, communication, and follow-through
Performance Expectations
- Deliver accurate, high-quality work within deadlines
- Manage case tasks efficiently and proactively
- Support favorable case outcomes through preparation and organization
- Work independently with minimal oversight
- Demonstrate ongoing growth in responsibilities and litigation capabilities
Why This Role Stands Out
- Career Growth: Meaningful, hands-on work with attorneys on significant litigation matters
- Work-Life Balance: A professional environment that respects your time
- Strong Benefits: Competitive compensation, 401(k) match, medical/dental/vision, commuter benefits, and more
- Team Culture: Collaborative, supportive attorneys and staff
