An established confidential plaintiff-side law firm with a national presence is seeking an experienced litigation paralegal to join its Tampa, Florida office. The firm represents individuals and families diagnosed with mesothelioma and asbestos-related cancers — meaningful, impactful work that requires a team with both legal expertise and genuine compassion for clients.
We're looking for a paralegal with strong plaintiff-side asbestos or toxic tort experience. Candidates from related fields like product liability, mass tort, or medically complex personal injury are also welcome to apply. This is not a fit for defense-side asbestos practitioners.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Assist attorneys with every stage of asbestos/mesothelioma litigation, from initial case intake through deposition, mediation, and trial
- Obtain, review, and organize medical records, exposure histories, employment records, and other case-critical documents
- Draft discovery pleadings, subpoenas, and responses; compile exhibits for depositions and trial
- Coordinate with expert witnesses — scheduling, preparation, and communication throughout the litigation process
- Handle court filings across Florida state courts and federal venues, maintaining accurate deadline and docket tracking
- Act as a direct point of contact for clients, providing updates with care and professionalism
What You Bring:
- Minimum 2 years of plaintiff-side asbestos/mesothelioma paralegal experience; related toxic tort or mass tort experience considered
- Proven track record supporting complex litigation through discovery, depositions, and trial prep
- Excellent organizational skills and the ability to prioritize across a high-volume, deadline-intensive caseload
- Empathy and professionalism in client-facing situations involving serious medical diagnoses
- Experience with e-filing, case management software, and document management platforms
What's Offered:
- Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
- Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, and vision coverage
- Career stability and advancement in a nationally recognized, growing practice
- Collegial team environment with strong attorney mentorship and support
