[Hiring] Paralegal @Truce Law

Role Description

Truce Law is looking for a family law paralegal with a minimum of 5 years of paralegal experience in the state of Washington to join our legal team. Our ideal paralegal is organized, detail-oriented, and ready to play an important role on our legal team. You'll:

• Draft legal documents such as declarations
• Prepare briefs
• Conduct legal research for hearing preparation
• Keep case files and other important information neatly organized and easily accessible

If you're interested in advancing your paralegal career with growth opportunities, we want to hear from you.

As a remote family law paralegal at our firm, you’ll work with legal mentors who have decades of experience helping clients negotiate difficult divorce challenges, while also playing a leadership role on a team committed to helping families achieve faster results by resolving legal issues with less conflict and less litigation.

Clients want to negotiate healthier co-parenting arrangements for their families and hire us because they don’t want to go to court. We are looking for a team player who loves creative problem-solving and who wants to help couples and families move forward using conflict resolution rather than an adversarial approach.

Our team loves working for Truce Law because of our relaxed atmosphere and our focus on collaborative law, which means our paralegals aren’t regularly facing the kinds of higher-conflict cases (and the associated stress involved). Our mentors are committed to nurturing your progress and development as a family paralegal within our firm.

We even have sponsored employees, so they can begin the Rule 6 program.

Finally, we have a diverse staff from around the world with quarterly events, both online and in person, to bring the team together.
