A well-established San Francisco litigation firm is seeking an experienced, self-sufficient Litigation Trial Paralegal to provide immediate support on active litigation matters and an upcoming trial. This opportunity is expected to continue on a contract basis through the end of the summer, with the potential to transition into a permanent position depending on mutual fit. This opportunity is ideal for a senior paralegal who thrives in a fast-paced litigation environment and can independently manage pretrial and trial support responsibilities with minimal supervision.
