Litigation Paralegal

Wanta Thome is a plaintiff-side employment litigation firm built like a modern company. We represent workers who have been hit by discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, we work on contingency, and the firm gets paid only when our clients recover.

That shapes how we work: preparation matters, speed matters, and every file is a person whose job, income, or reputation is on the line. Most firms hand their paralegals legacy processes and call it support work.

We have an in-house developer team that builds custom drafting and case tools, we run the firm on data-backed goals so priorities are never a mystery, and we build teams where paralegals do substantive litigation work, not administrative cleanup. The Role This is not a legal secretary position.

As a Litigation Paralegal, you drive case momentum. You prepare the pleadings, discovery, and case-development work that attorneys build strategy on, you keep clients informed during a hard stretch of their lives, and you spot problems in a case before they become delays.

2+ years of litigation paralegal experience, required. Employment law experience is helpful but not required; we have resources for teaching the substantive law to paralegals who already know how litigation works. This is not an entry-level position. What the Job Is Really Like Deadlines are real and often stacked.

Litigation calendars do not move, and you will manage several active matters at once. Clients come to us at a low point. Many have just lost a job or are still working somewhere hostile. You need steady empathy and the judgment to keep conversations productive without stepping into legal advice.

We give and expect direct feedback. We call it Radical Candor: say the true thing, kindly, early.

What You'll Do

Draft complaints, routine motions, discovery requests and responses, and mediation statements that need light attorney revision, not a rewrite. Build the strategic core of each file: fact chronologies, deposition summaries, document index
