Description

LITIGATION PARALEGAL - HYBRID McMahon, Martine & Gallagher, LLP | Brooklyn, NY 11201 Are you an experienced litigation paralegal who is ready to take your career to the next level? Do you have a proven track record of success in handling complex and high-stakes cases? If so, you might be the ideal candidate for our litigation paralegal position! Founded in 1958, McMahon, Martine & Gallagher, LLP (MMG) is a well-established and reputable firm that specializes in defending clients in a wide range of lawsuits including: construction accident liability, premises liability, medical malpractice, toxic torts, products liability, personal and commercial automobile liability, and homeowner liability. We are looking for a litigation paralegal who can support our attorneys with the highest level of professionalism and expertise in the litigation process, from drafting pleadings and discovery to preparing exhibits and trial materials. As a Paralegal at our firm, you will enjoy: * The chance to take your career to the next level! We value dedication and high-quality work in our employees, and we want to see them be successful every day. We want to reward talent and diligence with opportunities to learn new things and grow as a paralegal, as well as take advantage of your expertise to navigate complex matters through innovative problem-solving and collaborative solutions. * Independence. You won't have anyone breathing down your neck on every single thing you do. We believe in letting talented people do what they do best without micromanaging or imposing additional deadlines on top of their workload for our clients. If you enjoy working in a highly autonomous, fast-paced, dynamic environment where exciting new challenges are never in short supply, then we want to hear from you! * An informal and relaxed atmosphere. While we thrive in the quick and dynamic environment of litigation, we also believe in a more relaxed and collegial workplace than you might find at other mega-firms. Rapport with coworkers fosters learning and trust on a daily basis, and we encourage you to get to know your desk neighbors and grab a drink with them at our regular happy hours. We're firm of desk decorations, office snacks, and friendly working relationships! * A generous benefits package that includes health, dental, vision, and disability insurance, as well as a 401(k) plan with employer matching and pre-tax commuter benefits. We also offer parental leave to employees who give birth, in addition to NY Paid Family Leave, as well as floating holidays and additional PTO days with additional years of employment. * A hybrid work schedule that allows you to work a hybrid/remote model pending a 90 day training and evaluation period, as well as a healthy work/life balance. You can't take care of others unless you also take care of you! * A driven and collaborative work culture that fosters learning, growth, and problem-solving. Questions and strategy sessions are encouraged at all levels! * A meaningful work experience where you will have a direct and profound impact on your attorney's and our client's work and livelihoods. No contribution is too small, and a seemingly small act of customer service can have a huge positive impact on someone in ways you might not realize. We are looking for paralegals who strive for excellence every day and prove time and time again that they are truly the bedrock with which a good litigator works a full case load. If you are looking for a job where you are just a number in a sea of faces and never need to learn the names of your coworkers, then this may not be the position for you. But, if you are looking for a firm that will appreciate your skills and talents, support your career goals, and see you as a unique individual with lots to contribute, then look no further. To qualify for this position, you must have: * A paralegal certificate or degree from an accredited program, or equivalent experience * At least 2 years of experience as a litigation paralegal, preferably in insurance defense in New York and/or New Jersey * Exceptional problem-solving, critical thinking and analytical skills to navigate challenges and anticipate solutions * Excellent legal drafting ability with a sharp eye for cogency, detail, and accuracy; as well as the ability to review and synthesize evidence such as medical records, police reports, and insurance policies * Excellent interpersonal and communication skills (both verbal and written) * Responsiveness to multiple and ad hoc requests with a strong sense of urgency and engagement * Demonstrated ability to take initiative and work independently to consistently complete tasks with top-notch results across multiple matters * Professionalism, integrity, good judgment, respect and empathy for others * Ability to organize, prioritize and meet deadlines with a positive attitude and grace under pressure * A positive attitude and a willingness to learn, grow, collaborate, and always aiming for the next highest standard From the entire MMG team: we're looking forward to hearing from you, our next team member!
