• Assist with contract review, redlining, and tracking key terms/obligations
• Prepare and file legal documents with courts, agencies, or regulatory bodies as needed
• Support due diligence, compliance documentation, and corporate governance tasks
• Coordinate with external counsel, clients, vendors, or other stakeholders
• Manage document version control and e-signature/filing workflows
• Maintain strict confidentiality of sensitive legal and client information
• Assist with billing, timekeeping, or matter management as needed

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree, preferably in Legal Management, Political Science, or a related field
• Paralegal certification or equivalent formal training is a plus
• At least 3 years of experience as a paralegal, legal assistant, or in a similar legal support role
• Prior experience supporting a US-based law firm, in-house legal team, or client is strongly preferred
• Solid understanding of US legal terminology, documentation standards, and procedures
• Working knowledge of legal research and case management tools (e.g., Westlaw, LexisNexis, Clio, NetDocuments, iManage) is an advantage
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and/or Google Workspace
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and meet deadlines in a remote setup
• Comfortable working US business hours

Nice to Have

• Experience in a specific practice area (corporate, litigation, real estate, IP, immigration, etc.) -- not required at this stage, as this role is being scoped broadly
• Experience working with an offshore/remote US-based legal team
• Familiarity with e-discovery tools or litigation support software
