Litigation Paralegal (Fully Remote)
The Ideal Candidate: Because we operate in a fully remote environment, we are looking for a self-directed "go-getter." You are a fast learner who can master our systems quickly and take full ownership of your desk without the need for micromanagement.
Core Responsibilities
- Litigation Management: Draft discovery requests, motions, and pleadings for attorney review; electronically file documents across various court systems.
- Strategic Scheduling: Manage complex attorney calendars, including depositions, expert witness meetings, and court deadlines.
- Client Advocacy: Provide clear, empathetic updates to clients, ensuring they feel supported throughout the litigation process.
- Operational Support: Coordinate with outside counsel (probate/estate) and consultants to ensure seamless case progression.
- Quality Control: High-level proofreading of legal documents to ensure the firm’s standard of excellence is maintained.
What You’ll Need to Succeed
- Ownership Mentality: You don't wait for instructions; you see what needs to be done and execute independently.
- Technical Agility: 1–3 years of paralegal experience is preferred, but we hire for attitude and aptitude—if you are a quick study, we want to hear from you.
- Emotional Intelligence: You understand the gravity of our clients' situations and provide stellar service at every touchpoint.
- Communication: Exceptional written and verbal skills are non-negotiable.

In your letter, please answer the following three questions:
- What excites you about the opportunity to contribute to the MHTL team?
