About the position

The Contractor shall provide professional, accurate, timely, and reliable paralegal support reporting to the Office of General Counsel (OGC) and will be detailed to assist the Litigation Branch (LITB) or the International Affairs Legal Branch (IALB). The work products generated by the Contractor will undergo review prior to submission; however, personnel resources provided by the Contractor are expected to develop these products with minimal direct supervision, guided primarily by written guidelines. Personnel assigned to this task must possess the ability to adapt to changing priorities and work effectively under pressure. The General Paralegal Task encompasses a variety of responsibilities, including receiving, prioritizing, and processing requests such as document reviews or requests for legal advice and technical assistance. The Contractor will be responsible for researching and locating responsive information documents, as well as identifying relevant laws, judicial decisions, and legal articles. Typical paralegal functions will include moderately complex legal research, synopsizing transcripts of hearings and oral arguments for attorney use, reviewing case-related materials, and identifying potentially conflicting statements or areas requiring further investigation. Additionally, the Contractor will draft preliminary legal memoranda and correspondence, assist in preparing draft legal documents such as motions, briefs, and memoranda of law, and conduct legal analysis. The role also involves reviewing materials in discovery for relevance and privilege, preparing privilege logs, and maintaining documentation of records produced in discovery, correspondence sent, and case management functions performed. The Contractor will assist in drafting and issuing preservation notices and litigation holds, as well as designing, generating, and transmitting reports regarding case assignments and productivity using case management databases.
