Senior Litigation Paralegal

Latitude Legal
Atlanta, GA Contractor
POSTED ON 9/23/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/31/2026
The Opportunity

A well-regarded, mid-sized law firm in Midtown Atlanta needs a smart, organized, confident, high-energy Senior Litigation Paralegal to join its growing litigation practice group. This is a direct-hire, permanent position with the firm — not a contract role. You will be working with Big Law veteran attorneys in smaller, nimbler firm environment.

The firm handles sophisticated civil litigation for institutional and corporate clients, with a practice focused on commercial litigation, employment litigation, and internal investigations. If you have built your career doing substantive defense-side civil litigation work at a law firm — and you want to do more of it at a firm that takes paralegal contribution seriously — this is worth a close look.

If you are looking for a personal and professional challenge and have the demonstrated experience, we'd love to hear from you.

What You Will Do

Responsibilities

You will function as a senior-level paralegal across the full litigation lifecycle, working directly with attorneys on active matters. Responsibilities include:

  • Managing discovery, including document review, production, and coordination with e-discovery vendors
  • Drafting and assisting with pleadings, motions, and correspondence
  • Preparing for depositions, hearings, and trials — including exhibit preparation and witness files
  • Coordinating filings in state and federal court, including electronic filing (CM/ECF)
  • Organizing and maintaining case files, deadlines, and dockets across multiple active matters
  • Supporting internal investigations from intake through document collection and reporting

What We Are Looking For

Required

  • 10 years of litigation paralegal experience at a law firm, ideally a large corporate firm or strong boutique
  • Experience must be in civil litigation on the defense side — specifically commercial litigation or employment litigation defense.
  • Demonstrated experience with state and federal court practice and procedure
  • Ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously with strong organizational discipline
  • Bachelor's degree and/or paralegal certificate

Preferred

  • Experience with e-discovery platforms
  • Prior exposure to employment defense or complex commercial matters

Please note: Experience primarily in personal injury, criminal defense, plaintiff-side personal injury work or family law will not satisfy the requirements of this role. We appreciate your interest but ask that candidates apply only if their background matches the civil defense litigation profile described above.

Compensation & Details

  • Base salary: Commensurate with experience
  • Overtime eligible
  • Attractive benefits package through the firm
  • Location: Midtown Atlanta -hybrid
  • Employment type: Direct hire with the firm

Confidentiality

Latitude will not disclose your identity or propose you to prospective clients without your prior consent. Candidates selected for further consideration will be contacted.

Only qualified applicants should apply.
