Litigation Paralegal
IDj-895
Job TypeDirect Hire
Remote TypeOn-Site
Compensation$110000 - $145000 / yr
We’re partnering with a well-respected Houston law firm located on the west side of Houston, just outside the 610 Loop, seeking an experienced Trial Paralegal to support complex commercial litigation matters.
This role is ideal for a true trial paralegal—someone who thrives in high-stakes cases, understands the rhythm of trial, and is a critical part of the litigation team from discovery through verdict.
This is not an entry-level role. You’ll be deeply involved in trial preparation, e-discovery, and courtroom support, working closely with seasoned trial attorneys.
What You’ll Do:
- Support commercial litigation matters from case inception through trial
- Lead and assist with trial preparation, including exhibits, witness files, trial binders, and courtroom logistics
- Manage and coordinate e-discovery (document review, productions, databases, and vendors)
- Assist attorneys during trials, hearings, depositions, and mediations
- Prepare and manage pleadings, motions, subpoenas, and discovery responses
- Organize expert materials, demonstratives, and trial technology
- Keep cases running smoothly in fast-paced, deadline-driven litigation
What They’re Looking For:
- 5+ years of heavy commercial litigation trial experience (law firm required)
- Proven trial prep and in-court support experience
- Strong e-discovery background and comfort with litigation databases
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive
- Calm under pressure and confident in high-intensity trial environments
- A true team player who takes ownership and anticipates attorney needs
Why This Role Stands Out:
- Hands-on involvement in real trials
- Sophisticated commercial litigation docket
- Trial-focused attorneys who value strong paralegals
- Competitive compensation and long-term stability
- Convenient west Houston location outside the 610 Loop
