📍 Boston, Massachusetts
đź’° $65,000 - $75,000
🏢 Full Time
**About This Opportunity**
If you’re the kind of paralegal who thrives on the complexity of medical malpractice litigation—where every detail matters and every record tells a story—this role is for you. We’re KnowHireMatch, and we’re partnering with a well-established litigation firm in Boston that’s known for its deep roots in healthcare and long-term care defense. They don’t just handle cases; they build strategies. And they need a paralegal who can keep the engine running smoothly.
**Your Role: The Case Architect**
You’ll be the backbone of the litigation team, turning chaos into clarity. Here’s what that looks like day-to-day:
- **Case Management, Your Way** – You’ll organize and maintain case files, from medical records to key litigation documents. You’ll follow up on subpoenas, chase down records from providers, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
- **Discovery & Deadlines** – You’ll assist with every phase of discovery: drafting requests, managing productions, and keeping the document review process on track. You’ll also own the litigation calendar—court dates, discovery deadlines, internal milestones—so the team never misses a beat.
- **Trial Prep & Beyond** – When it’s go-time, you’ll organize exhibits, witness materials, and trial binders. You’ll prepare PowerPoint presentations that turn complex data into compelling visuals. And you’ll draft deposition summaries that save attorneys hours of review.
- **The Human Side** – You’ll communicate with clients, courts, vendors, and outside counsel, keeping everyone aligned. You’ll manage electronic document systems (think iManage or similar) and step in wherever the team needs you.
**What You Bring**
- A Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience.
- At least **two years of litigation experience**—medical malpractice is a big plus.
- Strong command of Microsoft Office Suite and PDF software.
- Familiarity with document management systems like iManage? That’s a bonus.
- You’re organized, detail-obsessed, and calm under pressure. You juggle multiple priorities without dropping a ball.
- You write and speak clearly, and you collaborate like a pro—dependable, professional, and ready to jump in.
**The Nitty-Gritty**
- **Location:** Boston, Massachusetts (hybrid work arrangement—split between in-office and remote).
- **Compensation:** $65,000 – $75,000 per year.
- **Environment:** Fast-paced, collaborative, and focused on high-quality legal work. You’ll use a computer regularly (including extended typing), but you’ll also get the flexibility to work from home part of the week.
