The posting

A sophisticated Manhattan litigation boutique handling complex commercial disputes, arbitration, and regulatory matters, is seeking a Commercial Litigation Paralegal to join their New York City team. This is a strong opportunity for a litigation paralegal who wants meaningful ownership of matters, direct access to attorneys, and broader hands-on experience in a collaborative, high-performing environment.

What You'll Do as the Paralegal:

  • Support complex commercial litigation matters from early case development through discovery, depositions, arbitration, trial, and resolution.
  • Take ownership of deadlines, calendars, filings, discovery obligations, and case-related follow-up to keep matters moving.
  • Proactively flag upcoming needs and follow up with attorneys rather than waiting to be assigned every next step.
  • Coordinate e-discovery, document collection, review, production, and case file organization.
  • Prepare materials for depositions, arbitrations, hearings, and trials, including exhibits, binders, witness materials, and supporting documentation.
  • Assist with court filings, discovery responses, subpoenas, correspondence, and coordination with opposing counsel, vendors, and other outside parties.
  • Support a varied caseload that may include commercial disputes, plaintiff-side matters, and regulatory or government-related work.
  • Work directly with multiple attorneys and become a trusted member of the case team.

Must-Haves as the Paralegal:

  • At least 2 years of litigation paralegal experience.
  • Strong hands-on e-discovery experience.
  • Experience supporting depositions, arbitration, trial preparation, or other active litigation proceedings.
  • Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage deadlines and competing priorities.
  • A highly proactive working style. You notice what needs to happen next, raise issues early, and follow through without waiting to be prompted.
  • Strong attention to detail and a track record of producing accurate work in deadline-driven environments.
  • Team-oriented mindset and comfort collaborating closely with multiple attorneys.
  • Ability to work in the New York City office Tuesday through Thursday.

Nice-to-Haves as the Paralegal:

  • Complex commercial litigation experience.
  • Experience within a large law firm, litigation boutique, or similarly fast-paced environment.
  • Plaintiff-side litigation experience.
  • Direct trial or arbitration experience.
  • Experience managing substantial document productions and discovery workflows.
  • Familiarity with Clio, iManage, Microsoft Office, or comparable legal technology platforms.
  • Comfort working with emerging AI-enabled legal tools and an interest in learning new technology.

This Role Offers:

  • Base compensation from $90,000-$150,000 depending on depth and relevance of experience, with more junior candidates considered at a lower compensation level.
  • Overtime eligibility.
  • Year-end bonus potential.
  • Additional internal referral bonus opportunities.
  • Hybrid schedule with remote work on Mondays and Fridays and in-office collaboration Tuesday through Thursday.
  • Substantive, firsthand litigation experience rather than being limited to a narrow support function.
  • The opportunity to work directly with and learn from multiple experienced attorneys.
  • Significant ownership of assigned matters, with paralegals generally serving as the primary paralegal on their cases.
  • Exposure to sophisticated and varied litigation, arbitration, and regulatory work.
  • A collaborative team of high-performing legal professionals.
  • Meaningful long-term growth potential with no predetermined ceiling on how the role can develop.

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.
