Litigation Paralegal

Description

A well-established plaintiff-side personal injury law firm is seeking a Temporary Litigation Paralegal to provide immediate, hands-on support while the firm continues its permanent hiring process. While the firm's permanent hire will be fully onsite, this temporary role offers remote flexibility for California based candidates, with a preference for candidates who are local to San Rafael and able to come into the office periodically (e.g., once per week or as needed).

This interim role is focused on taking work off attorneys' plates, stabilizing workflow, and supporting both litigation and pre-litigation matters in a high-volume environment. The ideal candidate is comfortable jumping in quickly, handling core litigation tasks, and supporting or training existing staff as needed.

Key Responsibilities

+ Support active personal injury litigation matters from intake through resolution

+ Prepare and file documents in state court, including pleadings, discovery responses, and motions

+ Assist with discovery coordination, including drafting responses, organizing records, and tracking deadlines

+ Handle service of defendants, filings, and follow-up

+ Assist with minor's compromises, settlement documentation, and related filings

+ Manage calendaring, deadlines, and case organization

+ Support pre-litigation workflows as needed, including intake and file preparation

+ Train or support existing staff on litigation processes and best practices as appropriate

Requirements

Qualifications

+ Prior experience as a litigation paralegal in a plaintiff-side personal injury practice strongly preferred

+ Hands-on experience with court filings, discovery, service, and case management

+ Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

+ Willingness to mentor or train junior staff as needed

+ Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

+ Ability to work onsite in San Rafael periodically (preferred and a major plus)

Qualified candidates can make an immediate impact supporting a busy plaintiff-side personal injury practice on a flexible hybrid basis, while the firm continues its permanent search for a fully onsite resource.
