Family Law Paralegal

Working directly with the principal attorney, you will handle day-to-day legal support, court e-filings, client communications, and calendar management. This role includes a two-week onboarding overlap with the outgoing paralegal, requiring a quick learner who can hit the ground running.

• E-Filing & Exhibits: Format and file documents via court portals; organize trial evidence and exhibits.
• Document Drafting: Use existing templates and refine AI-assisted drafts by accurately filling in case-specific details.
• Scheduling & Communication: Manage complex calendars, handle client calls via Grasshopper, maintain swift email turnaround, and communicate daily via Microsoft Teams.

Requirements

• Experience: Background in Family Law (divorce, custody, mediation, or GAL cases for US based law firms).
• Tech-Savvy: Familiarity with MyCase, state court e-filing portals, Grasshopper, and Microsoft Teams. Comfortable using AI tools to finalize drafts.
• Traits: Proactive, organized, independent, and advanced in English communication (written and spoken).

Schedule & Compensation

• Month 1: ~20 hours/week | $900 USD/month (Onboarding & training overlap)
• Month 2 Onward: ~32 hours/week (28–32 range) | $1,500 USD/month
