Chief Paralegal
Jan 2025 - Present • 1 yr 4 mos
Experienced Chief Paralegal specializing in plaintiff-side employment law. I manage litigation from intake through trial, oversee discovery and case strategy support, and lead legal teams to deliver accurate, efficient, and high-quality work. Skilled in drafting pleadings, managing deadlines, and handling complex employment matters. I have extensive experience supporting attorneys in discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage & hour cases, ensuring every stage of litigation is handled with precision and urgency. I coordinate e-discovery, organize and review large volumes of case documents, and prepare deposition summaries, subpoenas, discovery requests, and pretrial motions. In addition to case management, I conduct and structure client intake interviews, maintain detailed and confidential case files, and help guide clients through the litigation process with clarity and professionalism. I also support mediation and settlement preparation, including assembling exhibits, timelines, and supporting documentation. As a team lead, I supervise and mentor paralegals, law clerks, and legal assistants, develop workflows, and ensure compliance with court rules and firm standards. I’m highly organized, detail-oriented, and focused on improving efficiency through strong systems, communication, and legal technology.
