[Hiring] Senior Paralegal - Personal Injury Litigation @Veta Virtual

Role Description

As a Senior Paralegal – Personal Injury Litigation, you will support attorneys by managing a personal injury and civil litigation caseload from pre-filing through litigation milestones. You will own key tasks that keep cases moving efficiently and confidently, ensuring court deadlines are met, documents are filed correctly, and clients remain well-informed throughout the legal process.

This is a fast-paced, high-volume environment inside a growth-phase firm. You will be expected to onboard onto active cases quickly, build and document your own processes where none exist, and produce consistent, high-quality output under pressure — from day one. This position requires exceptional attention to detail, strong independent judgment, and a proactive, low-maintenance communication style.

Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities Will Include:

• Managing personal injury and civil litigation caseloads independently — including approximately 20 active litigation and/or pre-litigation matters simultaneously.
• Preparing, formatting, and filing key court documents including complaints, motions, and case management statements — with zero tolerance for recurring errors regardless of workload pressure.
• Maintaining and updating case calendars with deadlines, hearings, and filings — anticipating what needs to happen next without being asked.
• Drafting and coordinating discovery requests, responses, and related correspondence with precision and efficiency.
• Working with clients, opposing counsel, and third parties to gather necessary case information and respond appropriately — asking targeted, efficient questions rather than requiring extended explanatory sessions.
• Organizing, formatting, and proofreading legal documents using MS Word to ensure full compliance with court rules and internal quality standards.
• Preparing exhibits, binders, and document sets for hearings, depositions, and trial preparation.
• Using Clio Manage for case tracking, document storage, and client communications — keeping everything current and accessible at all times.
• Collaborating with attorneys to support trial preparation as needed — self-sufficiently, even when lateral support is unavailable or unreliable.
• Communicating with clients to gather facts, provide case updates, and ensure timely input on litigation strategy — always with professionalism and discretion.
• Building and documenting workflows and processes where they do not yet exist — contributing to the operational structure of a growing firm rather than simply inheriting established systems.

This is a hybrid role — you will serve as both a Litigation Paralegal and a Case Manager in personal injury matters.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a litigation paralegal, case manager, or senior paralegal in personal injury and/or civil litigation law.
• California personal injury litigation experience is strongly desired.
• Demonstrated ability to operate with minimal supervision.
• Proven comfort working in unstructured, fast-growing, or startup-phase law firm environments.
• Ability to onboard onto active cases quickly and without a formal handoff period.
• Zero-tolerance approach to recurring document errors.
• Concise, efficient, and targeted communication style.
• Ability to work self-sufficiently when lateral support is unavailable.
• Comfortable working alongside a direct, results-focused, high-output attorney.
• Expertise in calendaring deadlines, drafting litigation documents, and preparing case management statements.
• Strong MS Word skills — capable of formatting legal documents to professional and court-compliant standards.
• Experience with Clio Manage or equivalent case management tools, plus calendaring and e-filing familiarity.
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation in USD per month, based on experience.
• 15 days of PTO plus U.S. national holidays off.
• Fully remote role — work from anywhere with a professional home setup.
• Opportunities to grow within the legal support field through ongoing collaboration with experienced attorneys.
• A supportive, transparent, and organized work environment through Veta Virtual and our client.
