Job description

Trial Paralegal – High-Stakes Litigation

Some litigation roles are about managing cases. Others put you right at the heart of the action. This is very much the latter.

We're representing one of the most highly regarded litigation practices in the US, recognised for taking on some of the largest, most complex and high-profile disputes in the legal market.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious Trial Paralegal who wants to be involved in litigation at the very highest level.

Think major commercial disputes, significant financial exposure, sophisticated clients and trial teams operating at the absolute top of their game.

This isn't a position where you'll simply be working behind the scenes. You'll be a genuinely important part of the litigation team, supporting exceptional attorneys as they prepare for and conduct major trials.

What You'll Be Doing

• Working alongside leading trial attorneys on complex, high-value litigation matters.
• Playing a key role in trial preparation, from managing evidence and exhibits to coordinating witnesses and courtroom materials.
• Providing hands-on support throughout trials, hearings and other critical stages of litigation.
• Managing sophisticated document productions, discovery processes and case materials.
• Preparing deposition materials, trial bundles, witness files and courtroom presentations.
• Coordinating with attorneys, litigation support specialists, vendors and external parties.
• Helping ensure that everything runs smoothly when the pressure is on and the stakes are high.

We're interested in speaking with experienced Litigation and Trial Paralegals who genuinely enjoy the intensity and challenge of complex disputes.

Ideal experience

• Strong litigation experience gained within a respected law firm or similarly demanding environment.
• Exposure to trial preparation, with actual trial experience particularly attractive.
• Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to juggle competing priorities.
• Confidence using litigation support technology, eDiscovery platforms and document management systems.
• A proactive, solutions‑focused approach and the ability to think on your feet.
• The confidence to work closely with senior attorneys in a fast‑moving, demanding environment.

You don't necessarily need to have 'Trial Paralegal' on your current business card.

This is the kind of opportunity that can genuinely elevate a paralegal's career.

You'll be working on sophisticated, high-profile disputes alongside attorneys who have built their reputations handling some of the most challenging litigation matters around.

You'll be trusted with real responsibility, exposed to complex legal strategies and given the opportunity to develop your skills in an environment where exceptional work is the expectation.

For someone who loves litigation, enjoys the buzz of trial preparation and wants to be involved when it really matters, opportunities like this don't come around every day.

If you're an experienced Litigation or Trial Paralegal in New York and feel ready for something bigger, we'd love to have a conversation. Salary upto $170k
