This is a fully remote role designed for a Tennessee-experienced paralegal who can step into an active family law practice and contribute immediately.

- Assist with mediation preparation, including drafting mediation statements and organizing relevant case materials
- Organize and maintain digital case files, track deadlines, and ensure all filings and correspondence are accurate, timely, and properly documented
- Communicate professionally with the supervising attorney regarding assignments, turnaround, and matter status; limited client-facing interaction may arise on an as-needed basis
Who You Are

- Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy
- Deep familiarity with Tennessee family law procedure, court filings, and local practice norms, particularly in divorce matters

- Able to manage a flexible, as-needed workload and communicate proactively about capacity and turnaround
