We are hiring an experienced paralegal to work directly with our attorneys, move matters forward, and produce clean first drafts. This is a hands-on, substantive role for someone who writes well, stays organized under deadlines, and takes ownership of their files. What you will do

• Keep clients informed with regular status updates, under attorney supervision.
• Conduct statutory and case-law research on Westlaw or LexisNexis and support case and deal strategy.
• Draft first versions of contracts, entity and corporate documents, franchise and commercial agreements, demand letters, pleadings, motions, discovery, and correspondence for attorney review.
• Prepare and respond to discovery in business disputes: interrogatories, requests for production, subpoenas, and document review and organization.
• File documents with the courts electronically and in person, and exchange documents with opposing counsel.
• Track court deadlines, filing dates, closing dates, and statutes of limitation on the firm calendar.
• Open, organize, and maintain case and matter files, and interview clients and witnesses to gather facts.
• Assist with entity formation, corporate filings, and closing binders for business and real estate matters.

• Proofread, cite-check, and format documents to court rules for signature and filing. What we are looking for
• Paralegal certificate or degree, or equivalent law-office experience. Georgia does not license paralegals, so strong experienced candidates without a degree are welcome. NALA CP or NFPA certification is a plus.
• Two or more years of paralegal experience preferred. Business, corporate, franchise, or commercial litigation experience is a strong plus.
• Excellent legal writing and precise attention to detail and deadlines.
• Comfortable with practice-management software (we use MyCase), Westlaw or LexisNexis, Microsoft Office, and PDF tools.
• Discretion with confidential client and company information and sound judgment.

• Notary, or willing to become one (we cover the cost), and a valid driver's license for courthouse runs. Background check required. Why work here
• We are a new firm in town and growing fast, which means real room to grow as our clients grow, the firm grows, and we expand into new markets.
• You will work directly with an experienced attorney and owner who has spent years developing lawyers and legal team members in house and is genuinely committed to your growth.
