Litigation Paralegal

Pay: $65,000.00 - $80,000.00 per year

Constitutional Litigation | High-Profile Cases | Meaningful Work

Location: Minnetonka, MN (On-Site)

Compensation: $65,000–$80,000 DOE

Schedule: Full-Time | Approximately 40 Hours Per Week

Are you an experienced litigation paralegal or senior legal assistant looking to step away from the grind of Big Law while continuing to work on complex, high-profile cases that matter?

We are partnering with a nationally recognized constitutional litigation firm whose attorneys include former Big Law partners, former U.S. Attorneys, former law professors, appellate specialists, and attorneys who have argued and litigated some of the most significant constitutional matters in the Midwest. The firm continues to grow its profile and is regularly involved in matters attracting local and national media attention.

This is a unique opportunity to work alongside some of the legal profession's most accomplished attorneys while enjoying a collaborative culture, meaningful work, and a sustainable workload that allows for genuine work-life balance.

Unlike many large law firms, this role is designed around a manageable 40-hour workweek while still offering exposure to sophisticated litigation and trial work.

What You'll Do

• Support attorneys in all phases of litigation
• Prepare and file documents in federal and state courts
• Manage court filings, pleadings, motions, and litigation calendars
• Coordinate deposition logistics and prepare deposition materials
• Organize exhibits, trial notebooks, hearing binders, and case files
• Maintain and track scheduling orders and critical deadlines
• Assist with discovery organization and document management
• Prepare trial and hearing materials
• Support multiple attorneys on active litigation matters
• Serve as a trusted litigation support resource to the legal team

What We're Looking For

Required

• 5 years of litigation support experience
• Experience as a Litigation Paralegal OR highly experienced Legal Assistant/Legal Secretary
• Strong federal and/or state court filing experience
• Experience supporting depositions, hearings, and trial preparation
• Ability to work independently with minimal training
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
• Must be able to work on-site in Minnetonka, MN

Preferred

• Paralegal certificate
• Experience supporting complex civil litigation
• Experience in constitutional, appellate, business litigation, or government-related matters
• Prior law firm experience

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate may currently be working in a large law firm, government office, litigation boutique, or corporate legal department and is seeking:

• More meaningful work
• Greater connection to the cases they support
• A team-oriented culture
• Exposure to accomplished attorneys and sophisticated litigation
• Long-term career stability
• A sustainable schedule without sacrificing the quality of legal work

This position would be especially attractive to a seasoned litigation professional who enjoys being the person everyone relies on and wants to continue doing exceptional work without the demands often associated with large law firm environments.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Retirement benefits
• Generous paid time off
• Free on-site parking
• Supportive and collaborative culture
• Long-term career opportunity with a highly respected legal team

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Work directly with former Big Law partners, former U.S. Attorneys, and nationally recognized constitutional litigators
• Be part of a firm handling impactful and often high-profile constitutional litigation
• Join a culture that values excellence, professionalism, kindness, and teamwork
• Enjoy meaningful legal work without the 70-80 hour weeks often found in larger firms
• Immediate interview process with firm leadership

Qualified candidates will be contacted quickly, as interviews are already underway and the firm is eager to identify the right long-term addition to their team.

Benefits:

• 401(k)
• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Vision insurance
