Pay: $30 – $40 / hour

About Our Client
Addison Group’s client is a well-established financial services organization serving customers nationwide. The organization operates a large portfolio of financial accounts and works across legal, compliance, and risk functions to support its business operations.
The Legal team is seeking an experienced Paralegal to join its Litigation group. This is a high-volume environment supporting a small, collaborative team that values employees who are willing to roll up their sleeves, take ownership, and jump in where needed.
Job Description
Our client is seeking a seasoned Paralegal (Litigation) to provide administrative and legal support to a Senior Paralegal and attorneys within the Litigation team.
Please note: This is a very high-volume, fast-paced environment. Although the position is legal in nature, the initial work will be heavily administrative and focused on managing documentation, processing incoming matters, maintaining files, entering information into tracking systems, and supporting established workflows. As you become familiar with the team's processes and demonstrate strong performance, you will gradually take on more substantive paralegal responsibilities and greater ownership of casework.
This is a 100% remote position. Candidates must have previous experience successfully working in a fully remote environment and be comfortable managing their workload independently while collaborating with colleagues across multiple time zones.
The team operates with high expectations and limited hand-holding. The ideal candidate is someone who can quickly learn processes, prioritize competing deadlines, identify issues independently, and keep work moving without requiring constant direction.
Key Responsibilities
- Monitor and manage multiple shared Legal inboxes and incoming service-of-process channels.
- Review incoming physical and electronic correspondence and determine the appropriate next steps.
- Identify time-sensitive or higher-risk items, including litigation documents, subpoenas, complaints, demand letters, regulatory communications, and attorney correspondence.
- Organize and maintain electronic case files, correspondence, and supporting documentation.
- Accurately enter and update information in legal tracking systems and internal databases.
- Route documents and requests to the appropriate attorney, paralegal, or internal business partner.
- Escalate court deadlines, regulatory matters, service-of-process issues, and other urgent items promptly.
- Track the receipt, assignment, status, and resolution of incoming legal matters.
- Follow up on outstanding items and requests for additional information.
- Keep legal inboxes, tracking systems, and case files organized and up to date.
- Assist with maintaining complaint and litigation trackers used for Legal department reporting.
- Support the Legal team with document retrieval, case research, matter status updates, and other litigation-related administrative needs.
- Help identify recurring issues or trends within incoming complaints and legal matters and escalate noteworthy concerns.
- Assist with improving internal legal processes, workflows, and organizational systems.
- Provide general paralegal and Legal Operations support as needed.
Qualifications
- 5–8+ years of experience working as a Paralegal or Legal Assistant, with significant experience supporting litigation matters.
- Experience working in a high-volume legal or administrative environment.
- Background in banking, lending, loan servicing, real estate, title, foreclosure, insurance claims, compliance, or another closely related industry.
- Previous experience working fully remotely is required; hybrid experience alone is not sufficient.
- Ability to independently manage a large volume of work and prioritize competing deadlines.
- Strong attention to detail and exceptional organizational skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to identify urgent or sensitive matters and escalate them appropriately.
- Comfortable working independently with limited day-to-day direction.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite.
- Experience using Slack or similar communication/collaboration platforms.
- Degree in Legal Studies or a related field preferred.
- Paralegal certificate is a plus.
Additional Details
- Pay Rate: $30–$40/hour, with some flexibility based on experience.
- Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday, generally 9:00 AM–5:00 PM.
- Hours: 40 hours per week.
- Overtime: Available with prior supervisor approval.
- Start Date: ASAP.
- Contract Length: 6+ months.
- Interview Process: Two interviews; Senior Paralegal followed by General Counsel.
- Work Environment: Fully remote.
- Experience: Candidates must have prior experience working successfully in a fully remote environment.
- Education: Degree preferred; Paralegal certification is a plus.
Perks
- Fully remote opportunity.
- Opportunity to join a collaborative Legal/Litigation team.
- Exposure to a broad range of litigation and legal operations activities.
- Opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as you become established in the role.
