Litigation Paralegal

The Role

We're looking for a winner — an experienced Employment Litigation Paralegal who's ready to hit the ground running, take real ownership, and make a measurable impact at a modern, remote law firm that's scaling quickly. This is not a legal secretary position. You'll be a true partner to our attorneys, driving cases forward using technology, strategy, and sharp instincts. If you can manage complexity, meet deadlines without being chased, and take pride in moving cases to resolution, we want to hear from you.

The Culture

Laurel is built different. We started the firm asking an important question: "What if it didn't have to suck to work at a law firm? In fact, what if it could be kind of awesome?" The result is an award-winning culture where we take the work seriously without ever taking ourselves too seriously. We've built a team of winners who work together to get more done, more efficiently, while leaving opposing counsel asking themselves, "how the heck did they do that?" We win and we have fun doing it. It's a better way to practice.

The Laurel Way

Laurel is built on three unique competitive advantages: Technology, Culture, and a Shared Services model that eliminates the most inefficient parts of the job.
