Overview
Litigation Paralegal Jobs in Alpine, UT at Johnstun Law
Paralegal – Business & Corporate Law
(Full-time or part-time available)
Join our AV-rated, preeminent Utah law firm focused exclusively on business and corporate law. We handle sophisticated transactions and litigation in Utah state and federal courts. We are seeking a high-character, capable paralegal who wants real involvement and direct responsibility—not just support tasks. This role offers meaningful ownership, substantive work, and the opportunity to grow alongside experienced attorneys on complex matters.
What You’ll Do
You will play an active, hands-on role in both transactional and litigation matters, taking direct responsibility for key parts of the work. Core responsibilities include:
- Independently conducting legal research using LexisNexis and/or WestLaw and preparing clear, usable summaries and analyses
- Drafting and revising contracts, pleadings, discovery requests/responses, correspondence, and other legal documents with minimal supervision
- Formatting evidence and citations within pleadings
- Owning case and transaction management—organizing files, tracking deadlines, coordinating workflows, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
- Preparing and filing documents in Utah state and federal courts, and managing related procedural requirements
- Taking the lead on discovery organization, trial preparation materials, and transaction closing checklists
- Serving as a primary point of contact for clients, opposing counsel, and court staff on assigned matters
- Identifying issues early, proposing solutions, and driving projects forward as a trusted member of the team
You will be expected to take ownership of your work product, exercise sound judgment, and contribute substantively to the successful resolution of matters.
Who We’re Looking For
We prioritize character, reliability, and a demonstrated commitment to longevity. Ideal candidates possess:
- Strong attention to detail, organization, and deadline management
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively as part of a team
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel), Adobe/PDF tools, and legal research platforms
- Willingness to occasionally assist after hours when case or transaction deadlines require it
- Prior paralegal or legal assistant experience preferred (especially in business, corporate, or litigation settings); strong candidates without direct experience will be considered
Most important: A work history that shows commitment and stability (ideally 2+ years in prior roles). We invest in people who stay, grow, and take genuine ownership of their work.
Education: Paralegal certificate, associate degree (minimum), or bachelor’s degree preferred.
