Paralegal

Position Overview

Glisson Law is seeking a motivated and experienced Paralegal to join our growing team and play a key role in advancing complex injury cases from intake through resolution. This position is designed for a seasoned litigation paralegal who can independently manage case responsibilities, support attorneys through all stages of litigation, and contribute to the successful resolution of personal injury matters.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable handling a high-volume caseload, coordinating discovery, managing deadlines, organizing complex case files, and working closely with attorneys to develop cases for settlement or trial. You will be expected to take ownership of your assigned responsibilities while collaborating with attorneys, legal assistants, and support staff on litigation strategy and case management.

This role offers significant hands-on involvement in personal injury litigation, including preparing case files, drafting and responding to discovery, coordinating depositions, preparing court materials, managing medical records and damages documentation, and assisting attorneys with trial preparation.

Because we are a plaintiff-focused firm that prepares every case as if it will go to trial, this position is best suited for someone who is proactive, detail-oriented, highly organized, and able to thrive in a fast-paced environment. Prior experience in personal injury litigation is strongly preferred.

At Glisson Law, this is more than a case-management role. It is an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to case outcomes, work alongside experienced trial attorneys, and be part of a team that is committed to delivering exceptional results for injured clients.

• Track litigation deadlines and ensure timely filings and case progression
• Communicate regularly with clients, medical providers, experts, and opposing counsel
• Review settlement demand packages and assist with case valuation documentation
• Assist attorneys with trial preparation, exhibit management, witness coordination, and courtroom support
• Collaborate with attorneys and staff to drive case success

Qualifications

• Minimum of 5 years of paralegal experience, with personal injury litigation experience strongly preferred
• Paralegal certificate or equivalent combination of education and experience preferred
• Strong knowledge of Missouri and/or Illinois state court procedures
• Proven ability to manage multiple cases independently and prioritize competing deadlines
• Experience drafting litigation documents and coordinating discovery
• Excellent communication, organizational, and client service skills
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment
• Proficiency with case management software, Microsoft Office Suite, and electronic filing systems

What We Offer
