Employment Litigation Paralegal (Fully Remote | Tech-Forward | Winning Culture)

About Laurel Employment Law We are not your traditional law firm. Laurel Employment Law is a fully remote, tech-driven plaintiff’s firm that’s redefining how employment law is practiced. We’re a team of smart, ambitious litigators who collaborate to deliver outstanding results for our clients — and we have fun doing it! We use cutting-edge legal tech to eliminate inefficiencies, empower autonomy, and give our attorneys the freedom to focus on what matters: winning for our clients and building meaningful careers. If you thrive in a high-performance, growth-oriented culture and want to do your best work without commuting, micromanagement, or outdated systems, this is the place for you. The Role We’re looking for a standout Employment Law Paralegal who knows plaintiff-side employment litigation inside and out. Someone who can anticipate needs, stay five steps ahead, and operate with the confidence and precision of a true professional. This is a role for a doer — someone who wants real responsibility, real autonomy, and a real seat at the table in a modern, rapidly scaling law firm. You’ll be a core part of our litigation team, helping us move cases forward efficiently, strategically, and relentlessly using The Laurel Way. The Culture Laurel is built different. We started the Firm asking an important question, “what if it didn’t have to suck to work at law firm? In fact, what if it could be kind of awesome?” The result is an award-winning culture where we take the work seriously without ever taking ourselves too seriously. We’ve built a team of winners who work together to get more done, more efficiently, while leaving opposing counsel asking themselves, “how the heck did they do that?” We win and we have fun doing it. It’s a better way to practice. The Laurel Way Laurel is built on a foundation of 3 unique competitive advantages: Technology, Culture, and a Shared Services model that relieves you of the most arduous parts of the job. Imagine having fully drafted demand letters, complaints, discovery requests, discovery responses, and depo notices available to you at a click of a button produced at near-instantaneous speed. Our attorneys get more done, in less time, with far less aggravation. That means more time back in your day to be used in a high-impact way while putting the joy back into your practice of law.
