Commercial Litigation Paralegal – Dallas, Texas

About the Firm

Our client is a well‑established boutique trial and litigation firm composed of nine attorneys known for consistently outperforming much larger opponents. The firm is seeking a Commercial Litigation Paralegal for its Dallas office — a professional who shares their commitment to outworking, out thinking, and outmaneuvering opposing counsel at every stage of litigation.

Typical matters include breach of contract, fraud, fiduciary duty violations, tortious interference, whistle blower actions, corporate governance disputes, bankruptcy, and intellectual property issues. With their meticulous and strategic approach, the firm is also frequently engaged for defense representation and pre‑litigation counseling, providing guidance beyond litigation itself.
