Why This Is a Great Opportunity

  • Join a respected civil litigation defense firm handling high-stakes transportation and liability matters.
  • Take on a true trial paralegal role where your organization, preparation, and litigation support skills will directly impact case outcomes.
  • Work closely with experienced trial attorneys on meaningful, sophisticated defense matters.
  • Be part of a professional, hardworking team that values preparation, quality, and results.
  • Grow your career in a role with real ownership, strong responsibility, and visible impact.

Location: This is a full-time, in-person position based in San Diego, offering close collaboration with attorneys and hands-on involvement in active litigation and trial preparation.

Note: Candidates must have strong civil litigation defense paralegal experience in personal injury-related matters and must have meaningful, hands-on trial preparation experience. The client is not looking for someone who merely supported files that happened to go to trial — they want someone who can independently handle high-quality trial prep in this practice area.

About Us We are a civil litigation defense firm focused on complex, high-exposure matters involving transportation, motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, and general liability defense. Our team is known for being strategic, hardworking, and thoroughly prepared, while maintaining a professional and team-oriented environment. Confidential Employer.

Job Description

  • Support attorneys in civil litigation defense matters from case inception through trial
  • Manage and organize case files, pleadings, discovery, medical records, exhibits, and trial materials
  • Draft, prepare, and file litigation documents, subpoenas, notices, and correspondence
  • Coordinate deposition, mediation, arbitration, and trial logistics
  • Prepare trial binders, exhibit lists, witness files, chronologies, and other pre-trial materials
  • Assist with discovery management, document review, and records collection
  • Communicate with clients, experts, vendors, court personnel, and opposing counsel as needed
  • Track deadlines and help ensure matters move forward accurately and efficiently
  • Provide high-level trial preparation support with strong attention to detail and organization

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of paralegal experience in civil litigation defense
  • Strong experience supporting personal injury defense matters
  • Trial preparation experience required
  • Transportation, motor vehicle accident, premises liability, insurance defense, or general liability experience strongly preferred
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Strong document management, deadline management, and communication skills
  • Able to work effectively in a fast-paced litigation environment
  • Paralegal certificate is a plus, but relevant experience is more important

Why You Will Love Working Here

You will be part of a team that values professionalism, preparation, and quality work. This role offers the chance to be a true contributor in sophisticated defense litigation, work closely with experienced trial attorneys, and play an important role in helping the team prepare cases at a high level.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
