We are seeking a full-time, hybrid Litigation Paralegal to support a high-impact plaintiff-side practice focused on sexual abuse/assault and institutional liability cases. This role sits just north of Woodlawn, Maryland, and offers the opportunity to work closely with trial attorneys on complex, trauma-sensitive litigation from intake through verdict.
The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience managing plaintiff sexual abuse matters, including discovery, medical and psychological record review, deposition and trial preparation, and coordination with experts and survivors.
