What's the Job?

We are looking for a paralegal/case manager to join our small, tight-knit plaintiffs’ class action law firm. The position is full time and, although fully remote, the ideal candidate lives in or near Chicago, Illinois (where most of the Firm’s attorneys are based). The position entails, among other things, frequent client contact and thus the candidate should have excellent organizational and communication skills, incredible attention to detail and the ability to multitask while working under deadlines. Given the remote nature of the Firm and our growing caseload, it is imperative that you are a self-starter and committed to contributing in any and all ways to our clients’ and the Firm’s successes.
