Family Law Paralegal
Synectics Inc.
Date: 12 hours ago
City: Parsippany, NJ
Contract type: Full time
Job Description
We are a Family Law Litigation practice, handling divorce, custody, support, domestic violence, post-judgment and non-dissolution matters, as well as child abuse and neglect matters. We help people when they are facing difficult life challenges, often at the lowest point in their lives. We help families protect their most valuable asset, and we help save children from foster care - one parent at a time. We are looking for a dedicated professional to help us further these objectives.
We are hiring a Paralegal for our Parsippany office. This professional will be responsible for client communications, scheduling and case management; producing, organizing and maintaining litigation documents and evidentiary materials; preparation of Case Information Statements and related discovery; drafting of simple motions, in consultation with attorneys; conducting research and retrieving documents and other evidentiary materials; and assisting in drafting documents and preparing for depositions and trials.
Experience Required
Family law can be emotionally rewarding, exciting and fast-paced. For that reason, it is imperative that team members support one another and work collaboratively to benefit clients and colleagues. If you are an individualistic person who prefers working alone, this is not the right fit.
We offer a competitive compensation package, comprehensive benefits package (including major medical, dental, vision), Aflac, FSA, 401K + match, and collegial work environment. Salary commensurate with experience.
The position is majority remote, with in-office requirements 3-4 times per year.
All inquiries will be maintained in strict confidence.
