JOB OVERVIEW

Texas-based plaintiff-side personal injury firm seeking an experienced Litigation Paralegal. This is a fully remote position for a candidate who can independently manage a case from the moment a lawsuit is filed through trial preparation, with no training period required.

What We're Looking For

We are hiring specifically for post-filing litigation work — from petition through trial. This is not a pre-suit or intake-focused role, and we are not seeking anyone who needs to be trained on the fundamentals of personal injury litigation.

Minimum Qualifications

At least 3 years of demonstrated plaintiff-side personal injury litigation experience
Working knowledge of litigation from petition through trial
Working knowledge of Texas civil procedure and Texas law as it applies to personal injury litigation
Direct, hands-on experience with case management software
Experience managing a high-volume active caseload of filed litigation matters

Duties and Responsibilities

Draft original petitions and initiate new lawsuits
Draft and file amended petitions
Draft discovery requests, including interrogatories, requests for production, and requests for admission
Draft responses to discovery requests received from opposing counsel
Complete Defendant's Written Discovery Questionnaires (DWQs)
Identify appropriate expert witnesses for each case
Prepare and file designation of experts
Prepare initial disclosures
Prepare for and coordinate depositions, including scheduling, exhibit preparation, and logistics with opposing counsel, court reporters, and clients
Track and manage all case deadlines
Communicate directly with clients, opposing counsel, and insurance adjusters as needed

Schedule

This is a fully remote position. Candidates must be resourceful and capable of ensuring physical tasks get done even while working remotely — for example, coordinating with in-office staff to have documents printed, organized, or delivered, or arranging third-party legal support services to handle physical trial preparation, exhibit production, or courier needs. The ability to problem-solve and make these things happen without being physically present is essential. Candidates must be available and reachable approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday. Some scheduling flexibility is available for the right candidate.

International applicants: this schedule is fixed to Central Time (United States), not your local time zone. If you are located in the Philippines, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time falls at approximately 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Philippine time, meaning this would be an overnight shift for you. Please confirm you understand this before applying and that you are able and willing to work these hours on your local clock.

Compensation

Salary is commensurate with experience. Please include your minimum compensation requirement with your application.

To Apply

Please include the following with your application:

Number of years of plaintiff-side litigation experience?

Confirmation that you can independently handle litigation work from petition through trial preparation.

Your typical caseload volume and whether managed solo or as part of a team?

Your minimum hourly rate or salary requirement?

Confirmation that you are able to begin work without a training period?

A description of a time you had to ensure a physical task (printing, filing, document delivery, etc.) got completed without being on-site, and how you made it happen?

Confirmation that you are able to work 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday. If you are applying from outside the United States, please confirm you understand what this means in your local time zone and that you are able and willing to work those hours.
