Paralegal

This is a dynamic paralegal role for someone who enjoys working across multiple areas of law while playing an active role in client relationships and case progression.

In this position, you may conduct a compassionate intake call with a workers' compensation claimant in the morning, manage civil litigation discovery in the afternoon, and proactively identify what needs to happen next to keep cases moving forward.

You will serve as a critical bridge between clients and our legal team, managing both client communication and substantive legal work across workers' compensation, civil litigation, estate planning, and probate and trust administration matters. This role offers genuine autonomy, diverse work, and the opportunity to help shape our systems and workflows as the firm continues to grow.

This role is ideal for a paralegal who:

• Thrives on variety and can shift comfortably between practice areas
• Takes initiative and ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do next
• Enjoys both client interaction and legal analysis or drafting
• Wants to contribute to case outcomes rather than simply complete tasks
• Values working in a collaborative Anchorage office where contributions are visible and appreciated
• Can represent the firm professionally within the local legal community
