Paralegal

Compensation: $75,000–$95,000, depending on experience

A sophisticated boutique law firm in Miami is seeking an experienced Litigation Paralegal to join its growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for a sharp, detail-oriented paralegal who enjoys substantive litigation work and wants to work closely with accomplished attorneys in a collaborative, high-quality environment.

The firm takes a craftsman-like approach to the practice of law and places a premium on intellectual curiosity, precision, sound judgment, and attention to detail. This is not a high-volume litigation environment. The ideal candidate takes ownership of their work, thinks critically, and understands that the details matter.

• Support attorneys throughout all phases of litigation, from initial case development through discovery, mediation, trial preparation, and resolution.
• Draft and prepare pleadings, motions, notices, subpoenas, discovery requests and responses, correspondence, and other litigation documents.
• Assist with document production, discovery management, and organization of case materials.
• Maintain and organize case files, exhibits, evidence, deposition materials, and other litigation records.
• Coordinate depositions, hearings, mediations, meetings, and other case-related activities.
• Monitor court deadlines, litigation calendars, and filing requirements.
• Prepare materials and exhibits for depositions, hearings, mediations, and trials.
• Conduct factual research and assist attorneys with case development and investigation.
• Communicate professionally with clients, opposing counsel, courts, experts, vendors, and other parties.
• Review documents and case materials carefully for accuracy, completeness, and consistency.
• Proactively identify outstanding items, upcoming deadlines, and issues requiring attorney attention.
• Provide substantive support to attorneys while taking ownership of assigned matters and projects.

• Prior experience as a litigation paralegal
  , preferably within a law firm environment.
• Strong understanding of the litigation process and court procedures.
• Excellent drafting, proofreading, organizational, and document-management skills.
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to produce consistently accurate work.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple matters and competing deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• Sound judgment and the ability to think critically rather than simply follow a checklist.
• Professional, dependable, and comfortable working closely with attorneys in a boutique environment.
• Strong technology skills and familiarity with electronic filing and litigation-document systems.
• Florida litigation experience is strongly preferred.

The strongest candidate will be someone who views paralegal work as a profession and a craft
, not simply an administrative function. You are intellectually curious, meticulous, resourceful, and comfortable digging into the details of a matter. You anticipate what attorneys will need, take pride in the quality of your work, and thrive in an environment where thoughtful, precise work is valued over volume.

• Work directly with experienced attorneys on sophisticated matters.
• Substantive involvement throughout the litigation lifecycle.
• Boutique environment with significant responsibility and visibility.
• Collaborative team that values intelligence, initiative, and high-quality work.
• Competitive compensation of $75,000–$95,000
  , depending on experience.

This is a full-time, in-office position in Miami, Florida.
