What are the responsibilities and job description for the Paralegal position at Callahan & Fusco, LLC.?
About the Firm
Callahan & Fusco is a regional insurance defense firm handling matters across the East Coast, including trucking, construction, product liability, and general liability litigation.
We operate on three core pillars: Trust, Accountability, and Excellence. We are also a technology-forward firm, actively leveraging systems and AI tools to improve efficiency and outcomes.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced remote Insurance Defense Paralegal to support Connecticut, Massachusetts and New England locations.
The right candidate understands how a file progresses, knows what comes next, and takes action without waiting to be told.
How We Operate
We utilize a pool system. Paralegals are not assigned to a single attorney.
You will work across multiple attorneys, matters, and clients. Work is assigned based on bandwidth, experience, and familiarity with the matter. Senior paralegals assist with delegation and workflow.
As cases move closer to trial, paralegals are assigned to specific matters and work more closely on those files to ensure they are fully prepared and positioned for trial.
This structure provides exposure, but also requires organization, communication, and accountability.
