Our growing Employment Law department has an exciting opportunity for an experienced, driven Paralegal to join a fast-moving team in our Tampa office. You will work alongside eight energetic attorneys who are passionate about holding employers accountable and advocating for employees facing workplace discrimination, retaliation, wage-and-hour violations, wrongful termination, and other employment-related harms.

• →Serve as a key liaison among attorneys, clients, co-counsel, opposing counsel, courts, and other internal and external stakeholders.
• →Help keep a growing Employment Law practice organized, responsive, and prepared to deliver exceptional advocacy for our clients.

We are looking for a detail-oriented legal professional who thrives in a deadline-driven environment and is ready to grow with a high-performing employment litigation team.

• At least 2 years of experience in legal services under the supervision of an attorney, preferably in a law-firm setting.
• General litigation experience, with a strong preference for federal-court experience.
