Paralegal​/Legal Assistant

The Firm seeks a highly organized and dependable paralegal who understands litigation practice and can also support non-litigation matters and day-to-day administrative operations of a busy law practice. This role is a hybrid position involving both paralegal and legal assistant duties.

The ideal candidate is litigation-savvy, detail-oriented, and comfortable wearing multiple hats—supporting attorneys with substantive legal work while also handling administrative and practice-management tasks. Limited exposure to real estate matters is helpful but not a primary focus of the position.

The paralegal is not authorized to engage in the practice of law and performs all duties under attorney supervision, in compliance with applicable Rules of Professional Conduct.

Employment is at-will.
