About This Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced, proactive paralegal to support in-house counsel across corporate, commercial, contract, financing, regulatory, and litigation matters. This is a hands-on role for someone who can take a task, determine the necessary steps, and move it forward with limited direction while knowing when to escalate legal questions to counsel.
The successful candidate will work cross-functionally with Legal, Executive Leadership, Finance, Operations, investors, internal business teams, and outside counsel. Strong judgment, follow-through, responsiveness, and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential.
Responsibilities
- Provide day-to-day support to in-house counsel on corporate, commercial, contract, financing, regulatory, and litigation matters.
- Draft, review, revise, organize, and manage contracts, commercial agreements, corporate records, financing documents, and legal correspondence for attorney review.
- Coordinate the contract lifecycle, including intake, internal review, approvals, amendments, renewals, execution, and obligation tracking.
- Support litigation by organizing case files, managing discovery materials and document production, tracking deadlines, and coordinating with outside counsel.
- Prepare draft pleadings, subpoenas, discovery requests, summaries, and other litigation-related documents for attorney review; assist with electronic filings as needed.
- Assist with financing transactions, signature workflows, closing checklists, and closing documentation under the direction of in-house counsel.
- Conduct factual, public-record, and legal research and prepare clear summaries, memoranda, and status updates.
- Maintain accurate and confidential legal files, contract records, calendars, and document-management systems.
- Anticipate next steps, identify potential issues, recommend practical solutions, and keep stakeholders informed of progress and risks.
- Coordinate effectively across Legal, Executive Leadership, Finance, Operations, investors, internal teams, and outside legal counsel.
Qualifications
- Approximately 10 years of progressive paralegal experience in an in-house legal department, law firm, or similarly complex environment; exceptional candidates with somewhat less experience may be considered based on depth and relevance.
- Hands-on experience supporting litigation, including case and document management, discovery coordination, legal filings, deadline tracking, and outside-counsel communication.
- Experience drafting, reviewing, revising, and administering commercial contracts under the direction of legal counsel.
- Experience supporting corporate legal matters, contract administration, or complex commercial transactions.
- Proven ability to work independently, determine next steps, manage multiple priorities, and complete assignments with minimal direction.
- Strong organizational, project-management, written communication, and verbal communication skills.
- High attention to detail, sound judgment, professionalism, discretion, and commitment to confidentiality.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and legal document-management tools; experience with legal research platforms, contract-management systems, and electronic filing systems is preferred.
- Ability to learn new legal processes, technologies, and business operations quickly.
- Experience with financing transactions, renewable energy, infrastructure, or another regulated industry is helpful but not required.
- Education and Certification
- Paralegal certificate, associate degree, or bachelor's degree in paralegal studies, legal studies, or a related field is preferred.
- An equivalent combination of education and substantive paralegal experience will be considered.
Compensation and Benefits
- Base salary range of $95,000- $100,000.00 annually, based on relevant experience, qualifications, and demonstrated capabilities.
- Eligibility for a discretionary quarterly performance bonus based on individual and company performance.
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage, along with additional employee benefits.
- Flexible paid time off and company-paid holidays in accordance with company policy.
- Opportunities for professional growth, increased responsibility, and advancement for high-performing employees.
