Full Job Description

About This Role

Vázquez Law Office is seeking an experienced and highly capable Paralegal to support a sophisticated business law and litigation practice on a part-time basis.

This role is designed for a legal professional who values precision, autonomy, and meaningful work over volume. You will work closely with firm leadership on active litigation and transactional matters, contributing directly to case strategy, client service, and operational execution.

This is a 20-hour/week role with a flexible hybrid structure, best suited for someone who is comfortable working with a high degree of independence in a lean, fast-moving environment.

About Vázquez Law Office

Vázquez Law Office is a modern business law and litigation firm serving clients across Iowa and New York. Founded by Gabrielle Vázquez, the firm is built on a simple principle: legal counsel should be practical, strategic, and deeply aligned with how businesses operate in the real world.

We are intentionally structured as a lean, high-performance team supported by strong systems, clear communication, and modern legal technology. Our work spans business litigation, advisory matters, and transactional support for entrepreneurs and growing companies.

We value precision, responsiveness, and thoughtful execution. Every team member plays a direct role in shaping both client outcomes and firm operations.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you will support litigation and business transactional matters with a high degree of ownership and attention to detail. Responsibilities include:

Draft, format, proofread, and finalize litigation and transactional documents, including pleadings, motions, briefs, contracts, and correspondence.
Conduct legal research and analysis, including Westlaw CoCounsel searches, cite-checking authorities, and summarizing findings for attorney review.
Prepare, file, and serve court documents while ensuring compliance with applicable rules, deadlines, and filing procedures.
Manage client and court correspondence with professionalism, accuracy, and sound judgment.
Collect, review, and organize client materials, discovery productions, and case documents.
Maintain litigation binders, exhibits, case files, and timelines for hearings, mediations, depositions, and trial preparation.
Manage docket calendars, deadlines, case tracking, and Off Docket status updates with a high level of reliability and accuracy.
Assist with depositions, including preparation of materials and summarizing deposition transcripts.
Support witness and client interviews and prepare clear, concise factual summaries for attorney use.
Coordinate discovery, including document collection, review, organization, and production tracking.

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications

2–5+ years of paralegal or advanced legal support experience in litigation, business law, or a comparable legal environment
Demonstrated ability to independently manage active legal matters, including drafting, filing, discovery support, and deadline tracking
Strong proficiency in drafting, proofreading, and formatting legal documents with a high level of accuracy and consistency
Experience managing multiple case files, deadlines, and competing priorities with minimal supervision
Strong understanding of court filing procedures, legal correspondence, and litigation workflow
Proficiency with Microsoft Office and legal document management systems

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with litigation discovery, cite-checking, court filings, and docket management
Familiarity with Westlaw CoCounsel or similar legal research tools
Experience summarizing depositions, managing exhibits, and preparing trial materials
Exposure to business law, civil litigation, or a mixed practice environment
Familiarity with modern legal technology, workflow systems, or AI-assisted legal tools

Why This Opportunity Is Different

This is not a high-volume production paralegal role. It is a focused, high-trust position within a growing boutique firm where your work directly impacts case outcomes and client experience.

You will work closely with firm leadership in an environment that values judgment, accountability, and thoughtful execution. The role offers meaningful responsibility, flexibility, and the opportunity to contribute to how a modern law firm operates and scales.

We are building a firm where high-quality work, not bureaucracy, drives results.

Compensation & Structure

Part-time role (approximately 20 hours per week)
Hybrid schedule with flexibility during business hours
Hourly compensation of $25–$35/hour, based on experience
Professional development and continuing education opportunities
Opportunity for increased hours and expanded responsibilities over time as the firm grows

Vázquez Law Office is an equal employment opportunity employer. All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply.

Pay: $25.00 - $35.00 per hour

Benefits:

Flexible schedule
Professional development assistance

Application Question(s):

Are you willing to undergo a background check, in accordance with local law/regulations?

Experience:

Paralegal: 2 years (Required)
Westlaw: 1 year (Preferred)
Litigation: 1 year (Preferred)

Location:

West Des Moines, IA 50266 (Required)

Work Location: Hybrid remote in West Des Moines, IA 50266
