We represent workers who have been hit by discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, we work on contingency, and the firm gets paid only when our clients recover. That shapes how we work: preparation matters, speed matters, and every file is a person whose job, income, or reputation is on the line.\nMost firms hand their paralegals legacy processes and call it support work. We have an in-house developer team that builds custom drafting and case tools, we run the firm on data-backed goals so priorities are never a mystery, and we build teams where paralegals do substantive litigation work, not administrative cleanup.\nThe Role\nThis is not a legal secretary position. As a Litigation Paralegal, you drive case momentum. You prepare the pleadings, discovery, and case-development work that attorneys build strategy on, you keep clients informed during a hard stretch of their lives, and you spot problems in a case before they become delays.\n2+ years of litigation paralegal experience, required. Employment law experience is helpful but not required; we have resources for teaching the substantive law to paralegals who already know how litigation works. This is not an entry-level position.\nWhat the Job Is Like\nDeadlines are real and often stacked. Litigation calendars do not move, and you will manage several active matters at once.\nClients come to us at a low point. Many have just lost a job or are still working somewhere hostile. You need steady empathy and the judgment to keep conversations productive without stepping into legal advice.\nWe give and expect direct feedback. We call it Radical Candor: say the true thing, kindly, early.\nWhat You'll Do\nDraft complaints, routine motions, discovery requests and responses, and mediation statements that need light attorney revision, not a rewrite.\nBuild the strategic core of each file: fact chronologies, deposition summaries, document indexes, and witness profiles.\nResearch procedural questions and deliver short, usable summaries with a recommendation.\nLead client fact-gathering calls and handle routine client questions with empathy and clear boundaries.\nWatch each case for gaps, stalls, and approaching deadlines, and raise solutions rather than waiting for instructions.\nKeep matter status current in our case systems so anyone on the team can see where a case stands.\nWhat You Bring\n2+ years of paralegal experience in litigation, required. Plaintiff-side employment experience is a plus.\nParalegal certificate or associate's degree required; bachelor's degree preferred.\nStrong legal writing that is clean the first time, and an eye for the details others miss.\nA project-manager mindset: you juggle multiple cases, meet deadlines without being chased, and ask for help early when you are stuck.\nWarm and clear with clients; concise and clear with the team.\nComfortable in Microsoft 365. Case-management experience is a plus; we will train.\nCompensation and Benefits\nBase pay of $28.00-$39.00 per hour depending on experience and other factors.\nPerformance bonuses tied to firm results.\nMedical, dental, and vision: the firm pays 80% of the single-plan premium.\n401(k) with a 3% firm contribution.\nFirm-paid life insurance and long-term disability.\nGenerous paid time off and commuter benefits.\nSchedule: Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Central, with occasional flexibility for case demands.\nLocation: your choice of remote, hybrid, or in-office. The Minneapolis office includes a wellness room and fitness center. You must physically work in the United States; we are not able to support hiring in every state.\nWhy People Stay\nThe work matters. Better-prepared cases produce better outcomes for clients whose livelihoods are at stake.\nThe firm is growing, and we create new seats as we grow. People who perform here move into larger roles.\nYou work directly with experienced attorneys and get mentorship, training, and custom-built tools rather than legacy processes.\nWe work hard and we mark the wins, with regular team events and an office built for collaboration.\nOur values are simple: Teamwork, Impactful Agility, Relentless Excellence, Results-Driven, and Radical Candor. In practice that means no egos, honest feedback in both directions, and a shared commitment to fast outcomes for clients.\nHiring Process\nSubmit your application.\nPrevue strengths assessment.\nPhone interview.\nKolbe assessment.\nFinal interview.\nOffer, references, and background check.\nEqual Opportunity\nWanta Thome PLC is an equal opportunity employer. We make employment decisions without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. If you need an accommodation during the hiring process, let us know.\nApply with a resume and a short note about the case work you are most proud of.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4963,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"associate","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Professional Services","Legal Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T10:33:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":52,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.698,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":23,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:2","win:late","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":56000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wanta-thome-plc-litigation-paralegal","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wanta-thome-plc-litigation-paralegal.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T11:48:34Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16955,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":689627},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=689627"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwanta-thome-plc-litigation-paralegal"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwanta-thome-plc-litigation-paralegal"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwanta-thome-plc-litigation-paralegal"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/wanta-thome-plc-litigation-paralegal\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwanta-thome-plc-litigation-paralegal"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2337809}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"wantathome.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2337809},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
