Paralegal

Litigation & Bankruptcy Paralegal (US-Based Firm)

Location: Remote (Philippines-based)
Schedule: Monday – Friday | 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM PST (11:00 PM – 8:00 AM PHT)
Compensation: Competitive; Based on Experience

About the Firm
We are a tech-forward California law firm specializing in complex civil litigation, real estate disputes, and bankruptcy matters. We operate with a highly integrated, engaged team in the Philippines and believe in leveraging technology (Zoho, ProLaw, Westlaw) to deliver elite results. We aren’t looking for a passive assistant; we are looking for a sharp, proactive legal professional to take true ownership of their caseload.

The Role
As a Litigation Paralegal with a heavy emphasis on Bankruptcy, you will go beyond "filling out templates." You will be responsible for drafting substantive legal content, managing federal and state court filings, and ensuring our attorneys are prepared for every deadline.

Key Responsibilities:
• Substantive Drafting: Draft complaints, answers, demurrers, discovery motions, meet-and-confer letters, and oppositions from scratch.
• Bankruptcy Support: Prepare and file pleadings for Chapter 7, 11, and 13 bankruptcy cases via CM/ECF.
• Case Management: Oversee the litigation lifecycle, including calendaring deadlines, coordinating process service, and gathering documents for subpoena responses.
• High-Stakes Communication: Act as a primary point of contact for clients and opposing counsel, with a commitment to a 30-minute response time during shift hours.
• Legal Research: Utilize Westlaw to conduct targeted research and summarize procedural histories.
• Judgment Enforcement: Assist with post-judgment work, including writs of execution, bank levies, and abstracts of judgment.

What We Are Looking For
• Education: A Law degree (JD/LLB) is required. Passing the Philippine Bar is a significant plus.
• Experience: Proven experience in US Litigation (State and Federal). Specific experience in US Bankruptcy law is strongly preferred.
• Tech-Savvy: You must be proficient in Word, Excel, and Outlook. Experience with Zoho, ProLaw, and CM/ECF is a major advantage.
• The "Night Owl" Edge: You must have prior experience working US hours and a reliable, high-speed internet connection.
• Ownership Mindset: You are observant, punctual, and proactive—anticipating issues before they become bottlenecks.

IT Requirements:
• Own a laptop with at least Windows 10, Processor I5 Core-1235U 1.30 GHz, 16GB RAM (REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS)
• Must complete a speed test, meet system specification requirements, and meet laptop specification requirements.
• Additional email with more instructions will be sent as part of the application process.
