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.
