• Trial preparation: Assist with exhibits, witness lists, trial binders, and organizing materials needed for hearings and trial.
• Team coordination: Keep attorneys and colleagues informed, flag outstanding issues, and follow through on assignments.

Required qualifications:

• Experience supporting discovery, litigation case management, legal research, and trial preparation.
• Excellent written and verbal client communication and customer service skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat Reader, plus familiarity with standard office applications and legal practice management software.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to multitask, prioritize competing assignments, and manage multiple cases and deadlines.
• A team-oriented, task-focused approach and consistent attention to detail and accuracy.
• Sound judgment in handling confidential information and the ability to work sensitively with clients affected by trauma or serious injuries.

Preferred qualifications:

• A high school diploma, GED, Associate's/Bachelor's Degree, or certificate program in paralegal studies.
• Knowledge of Pennsylvania and New Jersey court procedures.
