Paralegal (Legal Research, Litigation Support & Compliance) – Remote | U.S. Hours
Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Client Business Hours
Location: Remote (LATAM, Pakistan, Philippines, South Africa Preferred)
About the Role
At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a highly organized and detail-oriented Paralegal to provide substantive legal support across litigation, corporate, and compliance matters.
This is more than an administrative legal support role. You’ll work closely with attorneys on:
- Legal research and analysis
- Legal drafting and document preparation
- Litigation and discovery support
- Case and deadline management
- Corporate documentation
- Compliance and regulatory matters
- E-discovery and document review
The ideal candidate has strong legal research and writing skills, exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple legal matters and deadlines simultaneously.
If you’re comfortable working independently, handling confidential information, and supporting attorneys in a fast-paced U.S. legal environment, this role is a strong fit.
