We have a strong work ethic, but we play hard too. When adding members to our team, we are discerning in our hiring decisions because we care deeply about our tight-knit and supportive work community.

This job is on-site in our Walnut Creek office (easily accessible via BART), though we offer some flexibility for working from home or remotely occasionally. This is because the culture of our firm emphasizes teamwork and mentorship, two things that we firmly feel are better rooted via in-person experiences.

Who you are: You are a hard-working, efficient, proactive and knowledgeable paralegal who has at least 1 year of family law specific experience. The successful candidate will also possess:

• Family law knowledge, experience with preparing templates for pleadings, handling discovery, and the ability to execute tasks independently and with minimal supervision.
• Knowledge and commitment to diversity and inclusion and working with people from many backgrounds is a must, as we are a women-led, minority owned law firm.
