Litigation Paralegal

Overview

Harrison Law is a boutique law firm based in the Phoenix metro area in Arizona. We provide legal services for all business and their owners ranging from small tech start-ups to large multinational corporations. Our litigation portion of the practice often involves complex multi-party cases involving both corporations and individuals.

We’re building a team of job-juggling, plate-spinning, people-oriented legal and administrative professionals who can help accelerate Harrison Law's growth. These multi-talented individuals are willing to jump in wherever they’re needed, viewing no job as too big or too small, always willing to take on a new challenge. They are foundational to the success of the firm.

As a new part within our growing firm, everyone who joins our firm is offered the flexibility and autonomy they need to get the job done, while also expected to collaborate with every person necessary to finish the work deemed most important. The tasks may vacillate from day-to-day, but the underlying principle of the work will not: find a way to get the job done, represent our legal clients effectively, help the firm grow, and achieve success.

Our office is located close to the Mesa Gateway Airport inside a dynamic technology and international business zone. This position allows an individual to live in the East Valley, working for a growing firm, but avoiding the long commute and stress that working for a downtown firm would entail.
