Qualifications

• 3+ years of litigation paralegal experience, preferably in general liability, insurance defense, or personal injury
• Working knowledge of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and state and federal e-filing (eFileTexas / PACER)
• Strong drafting, organizational, and calendaring skills, with meticulous attention to deadlines and detail
