What are the responsibilities and job description for the Litigation Paralegal position at Arnold Law Firm?
About Us :
Great companies require one thing above all else : great people. It’s common to hear that companies are looking for team members, not employees. Others say it. We mean it. Part of that team mentality is understanding that one of us is never as smart as all of us. We constantly solicit suggestions for improvement for our team members, regardless of their title. At the same time, we work hard to develop leaders at all levels.
As a law firm that provides professional services, we strive for a social climate that is rigorous while still being pleasant, light, and friendly. Our firm is a great place to work. We show our professionalism by our interactions with our clients and with each other.
We are also a systems-heavy business. Our emphasis on clear and detailed procedures empowers our team members to be fire prevention specialists instead of firefighters. We don’t manage problems; we work on system enhancement and system maintenance in order to prevent problems from happening in the first place.
We employ people who have an innate desire to perform at 100 percent in all things. Out standard is perfection, and we strive to live up to that standard every day. That isn’t everyone, and that’s ok. But if you have a dedicated, give-it-your-all attitude, we will give you everything else you need to be a successful member on an exceptional team.
