Job description
Senior Litigation Paralegal (Defense)
Location: Parsippany, NJ (100% Onsite)
Employment Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire
Compensation: $60,000+ (Commensurate with Experience)
About the Role
We are seeking a high-level, independent Litigation Paralegal with at least 5 years of experience to join our defense-oriented practice in Parsippany. This is not a clerical position; we are looking for a "case manager" mindset—someone who anticipates the next step in the litigation lifecycle and can independently move a file from inception through discovery and motion practice.
Key Responsibilities
- Independent Drafting: Draft complex pleadings, including complaints, answers, and various motions.
- Discovery Management: Manage the full discovery process, including drafting requests/responses and conducting thorough background reviews.
- Narrative Billing: Execute meticulous time-entry and billing. You must be adept at "crafting the narrative"—describing tasks in a way that demonstrates value to insurance carriers and corporate clients.
- Case Management: Act as the primary point of contact for case deadlines, maintaining attorney calendars, and organizing high-volume document productions.
- Collaboration: Work closely with a team of attorneys while maintaining the autonomy to think critically and work independently.
Required Qualifications
- Experience: 5+ years of litigation experience (Defense/Insurance Defense background preferred).
- Technical Skills: Mastery of the MS Office Suite and legal billing software.
- Drafting Prowess: Ability to draft substantive legal documents with minimal oversight.
- Personal Injury: Experience in Personal Injury will be considered only if the experience is on the Defense side.
Mandatory Criteria (Deal Breakers)
- Experience must be in Defense Litigation.
- We are not currently accepting candidates with primary experience in Plaintiff work, Family Law, Real Estate, or Employment Law.
- Must be able to work 100% onsite in our Parsippany office.
Why Join Us?
We offer a professional, collaborative environment where your expertise as a litigation specialist is valued. This is a direct-hire opportunity for a professional who thrives in a fast-paced, document-heavy environment and takes pride in high-quality work product.
