• Strategic Drafting: Craft substantive pleadings, motions, and complex discovery responses with a high degree of technical accuracy.
• Discovery & Inventory: Lead the discovery and inventory process, including tracing separate property funds and identifying "red flags" in complex financial affidavits or business valuations.
• Trial Readiness: Partner with attorneys to curate trial exhibits, organize trial notebooks, and manage ongoing RFOs (Requests for Order).
• Administrative Precision: Oversee court filings, maintain rigorous calendaring for hearings and deadlines, and ensure billable hours are captured accurately.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: At least 2+ years of dedicated Texas Family Law experience as a paralegal.
• Technical Mastery: Proficiency in E-Filing across various state court portals and staying current with local rules.
• Software Expert: Fluent in Clio/MyCase, Google Suite, and modern document management systems.

• Team Leader: A self-starter capable of providing mentorship and contributing to a collaborative team culture.

What You’ll Get
