Virtual Personal Injury Paralegal

Equivity is looking for a part-time virtual paralegal with recent experience supporting attorneys in personal injury law firms. We are looking for someone who is an expert with personal injury and has additional experience in other areas of litigation including commercial litigation and/or employment law. If you have at least three years of personal injury paralegal experience, have previously assisted attorneys virtually for at least one year, take pride in your work, pay meticulous attention to the details, and are looking for a long-term, part-time virtual paralegal role, we want to hear from you!

The ideal candidate will have at least three years of litigation experience and will have worked in a law firm within the last six months. The selected candidate will be very technologically adept and have excellent Word, Excel, and Adobe skills. In addition, the candidate should have experience working with cloud-based practice management software, such as Clio or MyCase. Additional experience in family law, bankruptcy, or real estate would be a definite plus. Personal injury experience in the state of Illinois would be a plus as well.
