Job description

TopDog Law is a nationally scaling personal injury firm that owns the client experience end to end, from marketing and intake through litigation. We've grown 2-3x year over year for three years running, and we're now building the operations, systems, and teams to scale without sacrificing quality or culture. We're fully remote, and we value ownership, open communication, and speed. If you want to help build something exceptional, you'll feel at home here.

The Opportunity

People come to TopDog Law at one of the hardest moments of their lives: injured, overwhelmed, and unsure of what comes next. They need someone in their corner who knows their name, understands their situation, and is actively fighting to get them the best possible outcome. The Litigation Paralegal exists to be that person, a dedicated advocate who owns the client relationship completely and ensures no one ever feels like just a file number. When this role is done right, clients feel heard, supported, and confident that someone is genuinely working for them.

• Assist in the development and execution of case strategies by conducting legal research, summarizing medical records, organizing evidence, preparing demand packages, and supporting negotiations with insurance carriers
• Serve as a primary point of contact for clients regarding case status, document requests, and procedural updates, maintaining professional, consistent, and compassionate communication throughout the life of the case
• Support litigation efforts by managing discovery, preparing exhibit lists, organizing trial binders, coordinating depositions, and assisting with trial and hearing preparation
• Organize and maintain case files, track deadlines and statutes, update case management systems, and coordinate with internal teams, experts, and external vendors to ensure smooth case progression
• Demonstrating a strong knowledge of liens, including Medicare and ERISA
• Uphold professional ethics, confidentiality, and compliance with all applicable legal rules, firm policies, and regulatory requirements.

What You Bring

Required:

• Strong organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail

• Experience reviewing and summarizing medical records
• Ability to prioritize tasks, meet deadlines, and work independently while collaborating with a team

Preferred (Nice to Have):

• Familiarity with Illinois court rules and procedures
• Experience with case management software (e.g., Filevine, Clio, SmartAdvocate)
• Comfort working in evolving systems and processes
