Are you an experienced litigation paralegal already performing substantive legal work including drafting, analyzing, and managing cases alongside attorneys?   Do you enjoy being more than support staff and working instead as a trusted operator who helps drive cases forward, solve problems, and reduce attorney workload in meaningful ways?  Are you looking for an opportunity to step into a role where your experience is valued from day one with the potential to grow into a long-term position?   If so, R & W Group has a great new temp to perm position!  
 
One of our favorite law firm clients is a business litigation firm based in Northern Virginia with a fully remote team. They are looking to add an experienced paralegal to the team.   This firm believes in the following:

This position, designed for someone who can immediately contribute to active litigation matters, with the opportunity to transition into a long-term role based on performance and firm needs.  This role is distinct from traditional case management support. The firm already has a paralegal dedicated to administrative, case management, and project coordination responsibilities. This position is focused on higher-level litigation work, including drafting, research, discovery ownership, and trial preparation.   This is not an administrative role. You will be expected to work independently, anticipate attorney needs, and contribute directly to case strategy, progression, and outcomes.

• Competitive compensation (commensurate with experience)

Discovery Ownership

• Manage discovery workflows end-to-end across multiple matters
• Organize, review, and categorize large document sets
• Draft and manage discovery responses and privilege logs
• Coordinate with clients to collect and produce documents

Trial Preparation & Case Organization

• Build and maintain trial notebooks, litigation files, and preparation materials

• Help ensure cases move forward efficiently and predictably

 
Qualifications

• 5+ years of litigation paralegal experience, preferably in business or complex litigation
• Demonstrated experience performing substantive legal work, including drafting motions, pleadings, and discovery (not solely administrative or case management tasks)
• Proven ability to work independently on active litigation matters, with minimal direction from attorneys
• Strong legal research skills with experience producing structured, thoughtful research memos
• Hands-on experience managing discovery processes end-to-end, including document review, organization, and drafting responses
• Experience preparing trial materials, exhibits, and filing packets in state and/or federal court

• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail and strong document management habits
• Proficiency with Office 365, Adobe, Clio (or similar case management tools), and court e-filing systems
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

 
This role is perfect for a paralegal who:

• Is already doing advanced, substantive legal work and wants more ownership
• Prefers a high-responsibility, low-micromanagement environment
• Enjoys being a key partner to attorneys, not just support staff
• Is open to a temp-to-perm opportunity with long-term potential
• Thrives in a culture of accountability, efficiency, and continuous improvement
