Is This THE Paralegal Position for You? (Part-Time, Mostly Remote)
IT IS - IF you are smart, creative, have at least five (5) years recent relevant subject-matter experience with an active litigation practice, you enjoy and are able to organize, multi-task and prioritize work, keep files in good order, work independently, are good with details, stable and have a good work ethic, have excellent research and writing skills, are personable, work well with co-workers, clients and others, have a good working ability with advanced applications of Word (such as automatic paragraph numbering, templates, macros, table of authorities and contents generation (Styles), etc.), scanning, electronic filing procedures in both State and Federal courts, electronic file maintenance, have experience with lawyer-specific office management software such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Dropbox, Clio, Judicial Council Forms, computerized legal research using Westlaw or equivalent, know litigation calendaring requirements and protocols and local court rules (or how to find them), do not abide boredom but prefer the stimulation of working on new and different types of matters, and, yet , still have a sense of humor and enough energy to effectively work with an experienced, AV rated practitioner.
While I have a Financial District Office, I work primarily from home. I have a bookkeeper and a legal assistant. but there may be occasional cross-over duties, especially those including complicated filing duties. I also work with outside attorneys on some cases. The atmosphere I try to maintain is relaxed and casual but professional. Duties include drafting complaints from scratch, researching and drafting moving and responding pleadings, discovery, motions and briefs (including arbitration, mediation and trial briefs), trial preparation including organizing and listing document and other trial exhibits, working with and at times hand-holding clients, utilizing and keeping computerized software programs up to date, and management, assistance in trial preparation, particularly in organizing and preparing documentary and demonstrative evidence, and providing general support as needed. The office generally has electronic scanned and digitalized file storage, so experience in this area is a necessity.
The practice consists largely of handling civil litigation cases, generally on behalf of plaintiffs. in diverse subject matters including contract, tort, business disputes, and professional malpractice in both state and federal court and alternative dispute resolution modes (mediation, arbitration, early neutral evaluation, etc. both as an advocate and as a neutral), and some transactional work such as contracts, real estate transactions, probate and trust matters, partnership and general corporate advice.
