Trial Paralegal Opportunity

Cerami Search Group is partnering with a highly respected Houston law firm to find a true trial paralegal—someone who doesn't just support cases, but plays a critical role in winning them. If you thrive in the intensity of trial, know how to keep moving parts aligned under pressure, and take pride in being indispensable in the courtroom, this is the kind of opportunity that doesn't come around often. You'll work side-by-side with experienced trial attorneys on sophisticated commercial litigation matters, with meaningful involvement from day one through verdict.

What You'll Own

• Managing cases from initial filing through trial
• Taking the lead on trial prep—exhibits, witness materials, binders, and courtroom coordination
• Driving e-discovery efforts, including document review, productions, and vendor management
• Supporting attorneys in real time during trials, hearings, depositions, and mediations
• Preparing pleadings, motions, subpoenas, and discovery
• Coordinating experts, demonstratives, and trial tech
• Keeping everything—and everyone—on track in a deadline-driven environment

What Sets You Apart

• 5+ years of hands-on commercial litigation trial experience (law firm required)
• You've been in the courtroom and know what it takes to support a trial team under pressure
• Strong e-discovery experience and comfort working with litigation databases
• Highly organized, proactive, and detail-focused
• Calm, confident, and unshakable in high-stakes situations
• You anticipate needs before they're spoken and take full ownership of your role

Why This Role is Different

• You won't be on the sidelines—you'll be in the middle of real trial work
• Complex, high-level litigation that will sharpen your skill set
• Attorneys who genuinely value and rely on their paralegals
• Competitive compensation and long-term stability
