Job description

Ready to work on cases that actually move the needle?

Zimmerman Reed is a nationally recognized leader in complex and class action litigation. It's the kind of work that ends up in headlines, not just case files. We're looking for an experienced litigation paralegal to join our Minneapolis team, supporting high-stakes matters alongside our California litigation group. Because of that California support, your schedule will shift later some days, typically 10am–7pm, to stay aligned with the California team's hours.

Why paralegals stay at ZR:

• Real responsibility. You'll conduct substantive legal research, draft and review documents, and manage California court filings.
• Flexibility that respects your life. Hybrid schedule: 2 days in-office, 3 days remote.
• A team, not a hierarchy. Our attorneys want your input. We built our reputation on collaborative problem-solving, and that includes our paralegals.

What you'll do:

• Research to support active litigation
• Draft and review legal documents
• File court documents in California courts (flexibility to align with CA business hours required)
• Monitor compliance with state and federal regulations
• Manage and organize client information

What you bring:

• At least 3+ years of paralegal experience (litigation preferred)
• Paralegal certificate
• Familiarity with CA court filing procedures
• Strong Word/Excel skills and general tech comfort
• Sharp writing, sharper communication, and the ability to juggle multiple deadlines without dropping the ball

The details:

This is a full-time, immediate opening. Competitive salary and full benefits package. Offices in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and Phoenix.

Zimmerman Reed values diversity and inclusion. And we mean it, not as a line in a job post, but as how we build our teams.
