Paralegal

$120000 - $160000 per year | Orlando, FL | On-site | Permanent

Looking for a 3-5 year civil paralegal working on product liability within the automotive and manufacturing industry

A bit about us:

Our client is a Central Florida trial firm of about two dozen attorneys. It represents manufacturers, healthcare organizations, transportation companies, hospitality and leisure operators, and other businesses that create jobs and drive the regional economy. When one of these companies faces a serious dispute, our client is the team it calls.

The firm treats every file as if it is headed to a jury, even though most matters never get that far. That discipline shapes how cases are investigated, built, and tried. It also carries over to technology and billing. The firm uses modern tools and pursues efficient strategies so clients get strong results without bloated costs. Its work includes complex product and pattern litigation, premises and transportation claims, and creditor matters. Several attorneys handle national coordinating work, so paralegals regularly see high stakes litigation from the inside.

Why join us?

• Meaningful work. You will support trial lawyers on substantial matters and be treated as a real contributor, not an administrative afterthought.
• Variety. The docket spans many industries and claim types, so you will keep building new skills instead of repeating the same tasks.
• Mentorship. Experienced attorneys and senior staff invest in developing the people around them.
• Modern tools. The firm uses current litigation technology, which cuts down on busywork and lets you focus on higher value tasks.
• Established reputation. Our client is recognized by respected legal rankings and is part of a national network of defense firms. That brings visibility, referrals, and long term stability.
• Competitive package. Compensation is commensurate with experience and includes comprehensive benefits. Your recruiter can share details.
• Downtown location. The office is in a central business district near courthouses, dining, and transit.
