[Hiring] Paralegal @Pavago

Role Description

We’re hiring a Paralegal to provide hands-on legal support across litigation, corporate, and compliance matters. This is not an admin role — this is a substantive legal support position. You will be responsible for drafting documents, conducting legal research, and ensuring cases move forward accurately and on time. If you’re detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and comfortable working across multiple legal areas — this role is built for you.

What You’ll Own

• Legal Drafting (Core Responsibility)
  • Draft and prepare:
    • Contracts
    • Pleadings
    • Motions
    • Discovery requests/responses
    • Corporate governance documents
  • Ensure all work is accurate and aligned with attorney guidance
• Legal Research & Analysis
  • Conduct research using:
    • Westlaw
    • LexisNexis
  • Analyze:
    • Case law
    • Statutes
    • Regulations
  • Deliver concise, actionable research memos
• Case Preparation & Litigation Support
  • Prepare:
    • Deposition summaries
    • Exhibits
    • Trial binders
  • Track:
    • Litigation calendars
    • Filing deadlines
    • Discovery timelines
  • Ensure nothing slips through the cracks
• Contract & Compliance Support
  • Review commercial agreements and summarize key terms
  • Flag legal risks for attorney review
  • Support:
    • Regulatory filings
    • Licensing
    • Compliance documentation (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOX)
• Document & Case Management
  • Maintain organized legal files using:
    • Clio
    • Relativity
    • iManage
  • Ensure all records are:
    • Accurate
    • Secure
    • Audit-ready
• E-Discovery & Document Review
  • Support document review and production
  • Organize and manage discovery materials
  • Ensure compliance with discovery obligations
• Client & Attorney Support
  • Communicate with clients to collect documents and information
  • Provide case updates when required
  • Support attorneys with research, drafting, and case execution

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• You are a strong legal writer with attention to detail
• You manage multiple cases without missing deadlines
• You are proactive and resourceful
• You can work independently with minimal supervision
• You are comfortable across litigation, corporate, and compliance work

Required Experience & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree or Paralegal Certificate
• 3+ years professional paralegal experience
• Strong experience with:
  • Westlaw / LexisNexis
  • Hands-on drafting experience (litigation + corporate documents)
• Experience with:
  • Clio / Relativity / iManage
• Strong understanding of litigation processes and deadlines

Nice to Have

• Trial preparation experience
• Corporate law exposure:
  • Entity formation
  • Board resolutions
  • Governance documentation
• Experience with compliance frameworks:
  • GDPR
  • HIPAA
  • SOX
• Advanced e-discovery/document review experience

What a Typical Day Looks Like

• Draft legal documents and filings
• Conduct legal research and prepare memos
• Track deadlines and manage case timelines
• Prepare materials for hearings or trial
• Review contracts and flag risks
• Organize and maintain case files
• Communicate with clients and attorneys

Key Metrics (KPIs)

• Zero missed deadlines (litigation/compliance)
• Drafts requiring minimal revisions
• Clean, organized, audit-ready case files
• Research delivered on time and actionable
• High reliability and attorney satisfaction

Why This Role Stands Out

• High ownership of substantive legal work
• Exposure to multiple legal areas (litigation + corporate + compliance)
• Work directly with attorneys and case strategy
• Clear expectations and performance metrics
• Opportunity to grow into senior legal roles

Interview Process

• Initial Phone Screen
• Video Interview with Pavago Recruiter
• Practical Task (drafting or legal research scenario)
• Client Interview
• Offer & Background Verification
