Senior Litigation Paralegal — Drafting & Research (Contract) — Remote — Virginia
Alden Kinsley, an independent, attorney-owned litigation and dispute resolution firm, is seeking a senior litigation paralegal on a contract basis — a substantive role for a proven drafter and researcher supporting matters in the Virginia market. You draft demand letters, motions, proposed orders, and substantive correspondence; research complex situations across the firm's practice areas; and engage directly with the firm's attorneys, taking the lead on assignments end to end. The role is fully remote (virtual office). AI research platforms are a force multiplier you wield — never a substitute for your own analysis.
Responsibilities:
- Draft demand letters, motions, proposed orders, and substantive correspondence
- Conduct legal and factual research across complex litigation matters, including Westlaw, LexisNexis, and court records
- Work fluently across Virginia state and federal court systems, including filing procedures and local practice
- Engage directly with the firm's attorneys and with opposing counsel's offices, taking the lead on matters as directed
- Manage multiple matters and deadlines independently in a fully remote, distributed practice
Qualifications:
- Extensive litigation-paralegal experience with a demonstrated record of drafting motions, proposed orders, and demand letters
- Strong familiarity with Virginia law and Virginia state and federal court procedures
- Proficiency with AI-powered research platforms (Thomson Reuters CoCounsel, Anthropic Claude, or similar), with the judgment to verify every output
- Exceptional analytical and critical-thinking ability — work product grounded in your own knowledge, never in unverified AI output
- Self-directed in a virtual-office environment; able to manage multiple matters and deadlines independently
Compensation: Approximately $60 per hour, commensurate with experience. This is an independent-contractor (1099) engagement in a fully remote, virtual-office practice.
