Job Description

We are assisting a boutique personal injury litigation law firm, located in St. Louis County, with their search for a Litigation Paralegal with 2+ years of experience. Join a collaborative, high-performing team that works hard, wins meaningful cases, and genuinely enjoys working together.

The Role

This is a true litigation paralegal role-not a filing or administrative position. You will work closely with trial attorneys through all phases of litigation, from case development to trial preparation. The work is hands-on, fast-paced, and directly impactful to real people's lives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and organize case files from intake through resolution
  • Draft and review correspondence, pleadings, discovery requests, and responses
  • Coordinate with clients, medical providers, expert witnesses, and opposing counsel
  • Monitor and manage deadlines, court dates, and litigation timelines
  • Conduct factual and legal research in support of case strategy
  • Assist with deposition preparation and trial logistics
  • Maintain accurate records within case management systems

Qualifications

Strong candidates will bring:

  • A paralegal certificate, associate's or bachelor's degree, or equivalent experience
  • 2+ years of civil litigation experience (personal injury experience strongly preferred)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Proven ability to manage multiple deadlines with precision
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and comfort learning litigation software
  • A collaborative, team-oriented mindset

Why This Opportunity

  • Top-tier trial experience: Work alongside respected plaintiff's trial attorneys on serious, complex litigation
  • Real work-life balance: We believe long-term success requires sustainability, not burnout
  • Strong culture fit: We are intentional about hiring and value professionalism, collaboration, and mutual respect
  • Meaningful work: Every case involves a real person facing a difficult moment-the work you do matters

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary range: $60,000-$70,000, commensurate with experience
  • Competitive benefits package included

All inquiries will be handled confidentially.
