About the role
The Alsandor Law Firm is hiring a Discovery Paralegal to join our litigation team.

If you thrive on accuracy, work well under deadline pressure, and want to be part of a team where your work directly shapes case outcomes, we want to talk to you. We believe great lawyering starts with great teamwork, and we invest in the people who make it happen. Our team enjoys a supportive, collaborative culture with half-day Fridays, team lunches, comprehensive health/dental/vision coverage, paid CLE, and a retirement plan.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
