Overview

We are seeking an experienced Litigation Paralegal / Senior Case Manager to support a fast-paced Plaintiff Personal Injury practice. This role is ideal for a highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented legal professional who thrives in litigation and takes full ownership of their caseload.

The ideal candidate has extensive experience managing personal injury litigation files from pre-suit through trial preparation and possesses a strong understanding of litigation procedures, discovery practice, medical records management, and case organization. This position requires a self-starter who can work independently, manage competing priorities, and communicate effectively with clients, medical providers, opposing counsel, and court personnel.
