About the Opportunity

Our client, a well-established and highly regarded law firm, is seeking an experienced Litigation Paralegal to support multiple attorneys within their litigation group in the Dallas office. The team specializes in commercial litigation and financial services litigation matters, including breach of contract, business disputes, and banking/securities-related litigation. This is an opportunity to join a collaborative team that values professional growth, work-life balance, and long-term career development, backed by competitive compensation, strong benefits, and a culture built on mutual respect between attorneys and support staff.

What You'll Do

• Support multiple attorneys across active commercial and financial services litigation matters
• Manage case files from inception through resolution, keeping everything organized and trial-ready
• Conduct factual investigations and interviews to identify key parties, issues, and relevant documents for discovery
• Assist in preparing responses to interrogatories and requests for production, including ESI production
• Coordinate depositions and assist with summarizing depositions, medical records, and testimony using litigation support technology (e.g., Relativity, Concordance, or similar platforms)
• Draft pleadings and filings for federal and state civil litigation, including e-filing in both state and federal court systems
• Support trial preparation, including exhibits, trial notebooks, demonstrative aids, and witness coordination, and assist at trial
• Verify case citations for accuracy and current validity through Westlaw
• Maintain attorney calendars, case deadlines, and billing/case management records
• Interact directly with clients, court personnel, and government officials

What You Bring

• Minimum of a high school diploma or GED required; 4-year college degree in paralegal studies or paralegal certificate preferred
• 4+ years of experience with complex litigation required, specifically commercial litigation or business litigation
• Experience with case management, billing, e-filing, and calendaring in a law firm setting
• Trial prep experience strongly preferred
• Strong computer literacy, including MS Office and document management systems
• Experience with litigation support software and electronic discovery tools preferred
• Excellent organizational skills, time management, and sharp proofreading ability
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented approach
• Demonstrated career stability strongly preferred

Experience Level

Our client is open to candidates at different stages of their career, both experienced paralegals who can step in with minimal ramp-up, and less experienced candidates who are highly motivated, coachable, and eager to grow. What matters most is adaptability, organization, and willingness to learn; not every skill needs to be in place on day one.

Ideal Candidate

Someone who is proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. Success in this role comes down to initiative, strong communication, and a positive, collaborative mindset, along with a high level of professionalism.

What Sets This Role Apart

• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
• Supportive, team-oriented culture with genuine investment in staff development
• High-caliber litigation work across federal and state courts
• Stability and reputation of an established, respected firm
