Job description
Litigation Paralegal
Temporary-to-Permanent Opportunity
Location: Trumbull, CT
Schedule: Onsite during temporary assignment
Compensation:
$34–$44/hour
Start: ASAP
Plona Partners is working with a sophisticated litigation-focused law firm seeking an experienced Litigation Paralegal to join its Connecticut office immediately. This is a hands-on opportunity for a paralegal who knows litigation from the inside out — court filings, deadlines, discovery, e-discovery, case management and supporting multiple attorneys across active matters. The position will begin as a temporary assignment with the potential to convert into a permanent role.
What we're looking for:
• 5+ years of substantive litigation paralegal experience
• Strong complex civil or commercial litigation background
• Connecticut and New York litigation experience strongly preferred
• Federal court experience, including CM/ECF
• Experience managing court calendars, deadlines and filing requirements
• Hands-on discovery and e-discovery experience
• Experience preparing pleadings, subpoenas and discovery materials
• Ability to research and navigate court rules across multiple jurisdictions
• Experience supporting multiple attorneys and active matters simultaneously
• Strong organizational skills and ability to work independently
• Bachelor's degree or paralegal certificate from an ABA-approved program
Experience with insurance coverage, insurance recovery, complex commercial litigation or similarly sophisticated civil litigation would be particularly relevant.
Technology exposure may include:
• Everlaw
• NetDocuments
• Westlaw
• Federal CM/ECF
• State and federal e-filing systems
For the right person, this is an opportunity to step directly into an active litigation practice, take ownership of substantive work and potentially develop into a long-term position.
