A minimum of five years of paralegal experience in plaintiff's personal injury is preferred, though candidates with an insurance defense background and a genuine interest in transitioning to plaintiff-side work are encouraged to apply.

  • Skills in providing support to legal professionals, including legal assistance and case management

  • Strong clerical and organizational skills, including filing, data entry, and maintaining records

  • Diary management skills for scheduling and coordinating appointments

  • Proficiency in relevant office software and legal tools: Clio, Outlook, MS Suite

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • Attention to detail and the ability to handle confidential information

  • Experience in a law firm or legal office setting is a plus

  • High school diploma or equivalent (associate degree or legal secretary certification preferred)
