A well-established, confidential plaintiff litigation firm is looking for a skilled paralegal to join its Philadelphia, Pennsylvania office. The firm focuses on representing clients with asbestos-related and mesothelioma diagnoses — serious, complex cases that require both legal precision and a compassionate approach to client support.
This role is ideal for someone with a background in plaintiff-side asbestos or toxic tort paralegal work, though candidates coming from related areas such as mass tort, product liability, or medically intensive personal injury will also be considered. Defense-side asbestos paralegals are not a fit for this role.
Your Key Responsibilities:
- Support a team of plaintiff attorneys through all phases of asbestos and mesothelioma litigation, from intake through trial
- Gather, organize, and analyze medical records, treatment histories, and asbestos exposure documents to build the evidentiary foundation of each case
- Prepare discovery responses, requests for production, interrogatories, and deposition summaries
- Coordinate with medical and occupational experts, manage their scheduling, and assist in preparation for expert depositions
- Handle e-filing across state and federal courts, and maintain detailed, deadline-driven case management records
- Communicate with clients compassionately and professionally to gather documentation and provide case updates
Ideal Background:
- 2+ years of experience as a litigation paralegal, with preference for plaintiff-side asbestos/mesothelioma or toxic tort matters
- Strong skills in discovery management, deposition support, and trial preparation
- Organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple active cases under deadline pressure
- Comfortable working with clients who are navigating serious medical situations
- Familiarity with e-filing systems and case/document management software
Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Full benefits package: health, dental, and vision
- Stable, long-term opportunity within a respected national plaintiff practice
