<p>Family Law Paralegal</p>

<p><br><br></p>

<p><em>Experienced, detail-driven, and ready to do work that matters? Join McIlveen Family Law.</em></p>

<p><br><br></p>

<p>Our clients come to us during some of the most important moments of their lives. As a paralegal on our family law team, you'll work shoulder to shoulder with our attorneys to keep complex litigation moving — drafting, organizing, and managing the details that lead to great outcomes. No two days look the same, and your work directly shapes how smoothly our cases run.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>In return, we invest in you — with strong benefits, paid professional development, and unlimited paid time off — because we know our team is the reason our clients are in good hands.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>What You'll Do</p>

<ul>

<li>Draft and prepare pleadings, discovery, equitable distribution and financial affidavits, correspondence, and memoranda — from written drafts and dictation.</li>

<li>Manage attorney calendars, deadlines, client meetings, phone conferences, and mediations using our master calendar and deadline-reminder systems.</li>

<li>Open, maintain, and close client files; run conflict checks; and coordinate new matters in our document management system.</li>

<li>Support trial preparation by identifying documents for production in discovery, assisting with witness preparation, and building trial notebooks.</li>

<li>Be a welcoming first point of contact for clients and visitors by phone, email, and in person — always protecting the confidentiality of the attorney-client relationship.</li>

<li>Keep billing on track — process expense reports, proof billing sheets, and review and edit bills.</li>

<li>Collaborate with our FAST team (ND specialists, duplication, court filing, paralegals, and staff attorneys) and pitch in on reception and admin coverage when the team needs it.</li>

</ul>

<p><br></p>

<p>What You Bring</p>

<ul>

<li>3+ years of family law experience and 2+ years of complex litigation experience, with the judgment to produce accurate legal documents with minimal supervision.</li>

<li>An Associate's degree or certificate in paralegal studies.</li>

<li>NALA or NC Paralegal Certification and a Notary commission.</li>

<li>The ability to transcribe legal documents, correspondence, and reports from rough draft or dictation at 70 wpm.</li>

<li>Sharp organizational skills — you can juggle competing priorities and hit deadlines without missing a beat.</li>

<li>Strong written and verbal communication, with the courtesy and tact to work effectively across a diverse group of clients, attorneys, and staff.</li>

<li>Solid proofreading and editing instincts (grammar, punctuation, spelling) and comfort with basic calculations on forms and documents.</li>

<li>Flexibility for the occasional stretch beyond 40 hours or irregular hours when a case demands it.</li>

</ul>

<p><br></p>

<p>What We Offer</p>

<p>We back our team with benefits built for real life:</p>

<ul>

<li>Unlimited paid time off, plus paid holidays</li>

<li>401(k) with company match</li>

<li>Company paid BCBS health and dental insurance</li>

<li>HSA and FSA options — including a health FSA and a child-care FSA</li>

<li>Paid CE fees and legal association dues</li>

<li>Ongoing training and professional development</li>

</ul>
