Remote Litigation Paralegal – Full‑Time Support for Complex Civil & Commercial Cases in Rosemount, Minnesota | $55k‑$70k Salary Range | Senior‑Level Experience Preferred

TITLE:Remote Litigation Paralegal – Full‑Time Support for Complex Civil & Commercial Cases in Rosemount, Minnesota | $55k‑$70kSalary Range | Senior‑Level Experience Preferred --- Who we are We are a boutique litigation boutique that grew out of a single‑office practice in Rosemount, Minnesota and have spent the last three years expanding into a fully remote, multi‑jurisdictional firm. Our team now includes 45 attorneys, 20 paralegals, and a handful of technology specialists who together manage roughly 1,200 active matters across federal, state, and local courts.Because we started in Rosemount, Minnesota we still feel the rhythm of the city’s courthouses, the cadence of clerk’s offices, and the community‑driven approach that made us successful. Our mission is simple: provide the same diligent, detail‑oriented support that a client would receive walking into a downtown office—only now the work happens on laptops, in coffee shops, and at home desks across the country. Why this role exists now Two things pushed us to double‑down on remote litigation support in the past year.First, a surge of multi‑state commercial disputes—particularly in the tech and construction sectors—has forced us to file in five different federal districts simultaneously. Second, our senior partners in Rosemount, Minnesota decided to let go of the old “must‑be‑in‑the‑office” model after seeing that case‑turnaround times actually improved by 14 % when paralegals could work from wherever they chose. The data is clear: a remote paralegal team that can pull docket entries at 2 a.m. Pacific time, upload filings to PACER at midnight Eastern, and still meet a 24‑hour SLA for client‑requested documents is a competitive advantage.We need a seasoned Litigation Paralegal who can own the end‑to‑end process, mentor junior staff, and keep our case‑management engine humming. What you’ll own day‑to‑day - Case intake & file creation – Within 48 hours of a new matter, you’ll open a master file in Clio Manage, assign a docket number, and ensure every pleading, discovery request, and deposition transcript is indexed in our Relativity e‑discovery workspace. On average you’ll be responsible for 12‑15 new files a month, each requiring a unique filing strategy.- Court filings & service – Using PACER, CM/ECF, and state court portals, you’ll draft, review, and file motions, briefs, and pleadings. We move roughly 200 + filings per month, and you’ll be expected to maintain a 99 % accuracy rate and meet the 24‑hour turnaround SLA for all urgent filings. - Document production & review – You’ll coordinate with our tech‑team to run keyword searches in Relativity, export batches to Adobe Acrobat for redaction, and upload final PDFs to the client portal. The average production set is 500 pages per case, with some large commercial matters reaching 10,000 pages.- Discovery management – You’ll track interrogatories, requests for production, and responses in our MyCase system, flaging any overdue items for the attorneys. Over the last quarter we saw a 22 % reduction in discovery “missed deadlines” after implementing a weekly audit that you will lead. - Client communication – When a client asks, “Did you receive the latest deposition?” you’ll be the one confirming receipt, updating the status in Clio, and sending a quick Slack message to the attorney. We expect a response time of under an hour for any client‑facing inquiry.- Mentoring – Junior paralegals (we have four on the remote team) will look to you for guidance on citation checking, docket research, and how to use Westlaw effectively. You’ll hold a 30‑minute “office hour” each week via Zoom to answer questions and review work‑product. Who you are -Experience: Minimum five years of litigation support in a law firm or corporate legal department, with at least two years in a fully remote environment. You have handled federal and state filings, preferably with a track record of managing complex commercial disputes.- Attention to detail: You can spot a missing “e” in a citation before the senior associate does, and you know why a misplaced exhibit tag can cause a motion to be denied. - Tech‑savvy: You’re comfortable toggling between Westlaw, LexisNexis, PACER, Relativity, Clio, MyCase, Adobe Acrobat Pro, DocuSign, Microsoft Teams, and Slack—all without a user manual in your hand. - Communication: Clear writing, concise email, and the ability to explain procedural nuances to clients who sometimes think “e‑discovery” is a type of coffee.- Self‑management: You set up a home office that meets our security standards (VPN, encrypted hard drive, two‑factor authentication) and you can stick to a schedule that aligns with both Eastern and Pacific time zones. Tools you’ll be using (a quick inventory) 1. Westlaw & LexisNexis – primary legal research engines. 2. PACER & CM/ECF – federal docket and filing portals. 3. State court e‑filing portals (e.g., California’s eCourt, New York’s OLR). 4. Clio Manage – case‑management and time‑tracking. 5. MyCase – client portal and document sharing.6. Relativity – e‑discovery processing and review. 7. Adobe Acrobat Pro – redaction, PDF manipulation, and e‑signing. 8. DocuSign – electronic signatures for motions and affidavits. 9. Microsoft Office 365 (Word, Excel, Outlook) – day‑to‑day documentation. 10. Slack – internal messaging & quick updates. 11. Zoom – virtual meetings, depositions, and training sessions. 12. Dropbox Business – secure file storage for large production sets. Our team & culture (remote, but not isolated) We have a “virtual water cooler” where we share a weekly meme, a recipe swap, and occasional pet‑photo contests.The current remote cohort spans five time zones; we rotate “core hours” so everyone can catch a live stand‑up at 10 a.m. Central (which is 8 a.m. Pacific, 11 a.m. Eastern). Our senior partners from Rosemount, Minnesota still host a quarterly “town‑hall” via Zoom where they discuss upcoming case law trends and answer any “why‑did‑the‑court‑grant‑that‑motion?” questions. Because we’re a boutique firm, you’ll have direct access to partners, not a chain of middle‑man managers. That means your suggestions—like automating the docket‑entry process with a simple Power Automate flow—won’t just be heard; they’ll be implemented.In fact, we recently cut average docket‑entry time from 45 minutes to 12 minutes after a paralegal spearheaded the automation. Compensation & benefits -Salary: $55,000 – $70,000 annual, commensurate with experience and proven productivity metrics (e.g., filings per month, error‑rate). - Bonus: Quarterly performance bonus up to 10 % of base, tied to SLA adherence and client satisfaction scores. - Health & Wellness: Medical, dental, vision plans covering 100 % of employee premiums; a $750 annual stipend for home‑office ergonomics; and a company‑wide mental‑health day each quarter.-Professional development: $1,500 an‑num for CLE credits, Westlaw/LexisNexis certifications, or e‑discovery workshops. - Paid time off: 20 days PTO + 10 paid holidays; we encourage you to take your vacation without worrying about “case backlog”—the team rotates coverage. A human moment > “I remember the first time I saw a junior paralegal submit a perfectly formatted motion at 2 a.m. while I was on a flight to a hearing in Chicago. It saved us hours of stress and proved that geography doesn’t limit diligence.” – Jordan Patel,Senior Litigation Partner, Rosemount, Minnesota If you’re ready to bring a mix of courtroom savvy and remote‑work discipline to a firm that started in Rosemount, Minnesota and now operates on a coast‑to‑coast basis, please send the following to [email protected]: 1.A one‑page cover letter that tells us why you love the blend of litigation support and remote flexibility. 2.

Final thoughts We’re not looking for a “remote worker” who simply logs hours; we need a litigation professional who treats each docket entry, each e‑filing, and each client query as a piece of a larger story we’re building for our clients in Rosemount, Minnesota and beyond.If you thrive on precision, enjoy the quiet efficiency of a home office, and want to be part of a team that values your expertise enough to let you shape processes, then we want to hear from you. * Because the law never sleeps, neither do we—just with better coffee and flexible schedules.* Apply tot his job
