Job Description

A sophisticated, well‑respected Texas law firm is seeking a senior‑level Trial / eDiscovery Litigation Paralegal to support complex commercial litigation matters in its Houston office. This is a high‑impact role for an experienced paralegal who thrives as a true right‑hand partner to lead litigators and brings deep, hands‑on eDiscovery experience —not surface‑level exposure.

This role is not administrative and is not entry‑level. The ideal candidate has spent years embedded in litigation teams, owns the discovery process, and understands the strategic role paralegals play in trial preparation.

The Role:

You will support senior litigators in complex litigation from early case strategy through trial and resolution , with a strong emphasis on eDiscovery management, document strategy, and trial preparation . Paralegals in this practice are trusted professionals with meaningful autonomy and accountability.

What You’ll Do:

• Serve as the primary litigation paralegal on complex commercial litigation matters
• Own the eDiscovery process from start to finish, including:
• Collection, processing, review workflows, and production
• Working directly within eDiscovery platforms (not just coordinating vendors)
• Managing large‑scale document sets and privilege logs
• Partner closely with attorneys on discovery strategy , issue spotting, and case organization
• Prepare and manage trial materials, including:
• Trial binders and exhibit lists
• Deposition summaries and witness prep materials
• Hearing and arbitration support
• Draft, organize, and manage discovery responses, pleadings, and correspondence
• Maintain impeccable case organization and deadline control
• Act as a trusted extension of the litigation team , anticipating needs and driving matters forward

What We’re Looking For:

• Substantial, hands‑on eDiscovery experience , clearly demonstrated on your resume
• We are looking for depth : what platforms you used, how often, and in what capacity
• Experience must go well beyond “assisted with” or “exposed to” eDiscovery
• Trial‑ready experience supporting complex litigation matters
• Exceptional attention to detail
• Ability to operate independently while collaborating seamlessly with attorneys

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Work alongside exceptional litigators on sophisticated matters
• Be treated as a true partner , not support staff
• High visibility, high trust role with real ownership
• Long‑term opportunity for paralegals who want stability, respect, and challenging work

Compensation & Perks:

• Firm-paid medical & dental premiums
• $250/month HSA contribution starting Day 1
• 3% profit sharing (vesting applies) starting Day 1
• Paid parking
• Bonus eligible position
• Welcoming, no-ego culture with regular staff events and wellness perks
