The ideal candidate brings deep employment litigation experience, excellent judgment, and a technology-forward, strategic approach to driving efficient and consistent outcomes in a fast-paced environment.

Job Description

Essential Responsibilities

Own day-to-day paralegal support for labor and employment matters, including demand letters, agency charges, and litigation, with strong attention to deadlines, risk, and business impact.

Manage EEOC and related agency matters: coordinate internal fact gathering, organize supporting documentation, help draft and assemble position statement exhibits, and track charge status, requests, and deadlines.

Lead litigation hold and preservation workflows (custodian identification, notice distribution, acknowledgments, reminders, and release), coordinating with Legal, HR, IT, and Records to maintain a defensible audit trail.

Maintain accurate matter records in the matter management system, including key documents, budgets/invoices (as applicable), task tracking, and periodic reporting for stakeholders.

Partner with outside counsel on case strategy support and execution: coordinate timelines, manage document collection and productions, assist with pleadings/filings support, and ensure internal alignment on deliverables.

Coordinate employment-related investigations on relevant matters by requesting when appropriate and reviewing results, and maintaining confidentiality and privilege protocols.

Coordinate across HR, Employee Relations, Compliance, IT, and business leaders to collect ESI and hard-copy records, identify custodians and data sources, and prepare organized, review-ready productions.

Manage subpoenas and third-party requests related to employment disputes (intake, tracking, coordinating collection, and preparing production packages), in partnership with counsel and internal stakeholders.

Support all phases of discovery: coordinate responses to requests for production, interrogatories, and requests for admission; manage privilege logs (as directed); and ensure organized, timely, and defensible productions.

Coordinate eDiscovery workflows with internal IT and/or vendors, including ESI collection planning, processing, review support, quality control, and production specifications.

Assist with deposition, hearing, mediation, and trial preparation (witness files, chronologies, exhibit lists/binders, subpoenas/service coordination, and logistics) as requested.

Drive continuous improvement by developing playbooks, templates, and workflows; leverage legal technology to streamline matter intake, preservation, discovery, and reporting in a high-volume environment.

Review and management of legal invoices.

Perform all other duties as required or requested.

Required Qualifications

8-10+ years of progressively responsible litigation paralegal experience, with significant labor & employment and litigation focus; in-house legal department experience strongly preferred.

Hands-on experience supporting EEOC and/or similar state agency matters (charges, information requests, mediation/conciliation support, and evidence organization).

Strong litigation support experience, including preservation/legal holds, discovery coordination, document review and production, and working effectively with outside counsel.
