Ludwin Law Group is a civil litigation firm in Delray Beach with an active state and federal practice. We are looking for a sharp, experienced paralegal who can think critically, move fast, and take real ownership of their work.
We enjoy practicing in a number of areas of law, including defamation, maritime, animal bite, HOA and landlord-tenant, construction negligence, corporate and business litigation. You will not spend your career bored working in a single area of law or performing the same repetitive tasks.
You will support our managing partner, Adam Ludwin. Our senior paralegal is staying with the firm but moving to a part-time schedule and will be in office two days a week. We also bring in contract attorneys when volume requires.
What You Will Do
- Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, correspondence, and court filings in Florida state court and federal court.
- Stay apprised of, and ensure compliance with, rules of practice including CM/ECF filing, local rules, individual judges' standing orders, Rule 26 conferences, and Rule 16 scheduling orders and general filing deadlines.
- Manage calendar and deadline tracking, including case management orders, including initial disclosure deadlines, and pretrial deadlines.
- Manage discovery from document collection through production, including ESI scope and proportionality.
- Conduct legal research and factual investigations under attorney direction.
- Prepare deposition materials and support trial preparation.
- Communicate with clients, court personnel, and opposing counsel.
What We Are Looking For
- Five or more years of civil litigation paralegal experience.
- Demonstrated ability to draft substantive legal documents from scratch, including summary judgment motions under Rule 1.510, motions to compel, and full sets of discovery requests and responses.
- Recent CM/ECF filing and working familiarity with judge-specific requirements on top of the local rules.
- Working knowledge of amendments to Rules of Procedure.
- Ability to file under the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal.
- Comfortable communicating directly with clients and opposing counsel.
- MyCase experience, or the ability to learn a new case management system quickly.
- Florida Registered Paralegal, Certified Paralegal, or Florida Certified Paralegal is strongly preferred.
- Someone who asks thoughtful questions, flags problems early, and does not wait to be told what to do next.
Compensation and Benefits
- $ 70,000 – $85,000 DOE
- Performance and milestone-based bonus
- Firm contribution toward the cost of individual health coverage, available to employees who enroll in a qualifying plan and provide proof of enrollment
- Paid time off and firm holidays
- Monday through Friday, [8:30 AM to 5:30 PM], in our Delray Beach office. This is not a hybrid or remote position.
Why This Role
You will work directly alongside the managing partner. You will handle both state and federal matters across a range of practice areas. Your work will be seen and it will matter.
