Plona Partners is working with a sophisticated litigation-focused law firm seeking an experienced Litigation Paralegal to join its Connecticut office immediately. This is a hands-on opportunity for a paralegal who knows litigation from the inside out - court filings, deadlines, discovery, e-discovery, case management and supporting multiple attorneys across active matters.

What we're looking for:

Experience managing court calendars, deadlines and filing requirements

Hands-on discovery and e-discovery experience

Ability to research and navigate court rules across multiple jurisdictions

Experience supporting multiple attorneys and active matters simultaneously

State and federal e-filing systems

For the right person, this is an opportunity to step directly into an active litigation practice, take ownership of substantive work and potentially develop into a long-term position.
