Litigation Paralegal — Country Club Plaza, Kansas City, MO On-Site | Full-Time
A well-established law firm near the Country Club Plaza is seeking an experienced Litigation Paralegal to join their team. This is a rare opportunity to work with a firm that genuinely invests in its people — known for competitive compensation, a collaborative culture, and attorneys who treat their paralegals as essential partners on every case.
About the Role
You'll support a team of attorneys handling a varied litigation docket spanning multiple practice areas. No two days look the same — one day you may be deep in discovery on a commercial dispute, the next preparing trial exhibits for a different matter entirely. The firm values paralegals who can manage their own workload, anticipate what's needed next, and take ownership of their cases from intake through resolution.
What You'll Do
- Draft and file pleadings, motions, discovery requests, and responses in state and federal court
- Manage case files from inception through trial, including calendaring deadlines and tracking court rules
- Coordinate and organize discovery, including document review, production, and privilege logs
- Prepare witnesses and exhibits for depositions, hearings, and trial
- Conduct legal and factual research and draft summaries for attorney review
- Communicate professionally with clients, opposing counsel, court personnel, and experts
- Assist with trial preparation, including witness binders, exhibit lists, and courtroom logistics
What They're Looking For
- 3–5 years of litigation paralegal experience
- Exposure to multiple practice areas; comfort working across different case types
- Strong knowledge of Missouri and Kansas state court rules and federal civil procedure
- Sharp organizational skills and the ability to juggle competing deadlines without dropping detail
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Professionalism, discretion, and a team-first attitude
- Paralegal certificate or equivalent experience preferred
Why This Firm
- Compensation well above market for the Kansas City area
- A culture that actually walks the talk — low turnover, respectful attorneys, real work-life balance
- Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, 401(k), and generous PTO
- Beautiful Plaza-area office with easy access to shops, restaurants, and parking
- Direct mentorship and meaningful, substantive work — not just document production
- This is an on-site role.
