If you are an enthusiastic and organized worker looking for a place to work that values life/work balance, Peavler|Briscoe may be the place for you! At P|B, we value the person over experience (though we like experience too!). But so long as we hire the right person with the right attitude who fits in with our fun but hard-working team, we can train them to do the job. We are looking for a qualified litigation paralegal. Candidate must have strong interpersonal skills and, most importantly, a positive outlook and attitude. A good sense of humor is also required. Must be a team player who is willing to help out others as needed. We are a defense law firm located in Grapevine, Texas that primarily handles personal-injury litigation. We mostly defend large companies (like Kroger, Target, Omni Hotels, Brookshire's, etc.) in everything from trucking accidents to slips and falls. We have approximately 27 employees: 10-12 lawyers, 4-5 legal assistants, and then various support-staff positions (billing manager, HR manager, bookkeeper, receptionist, clerks, etc.) As far as longevity, we have four employees who have been with us 10+ years; three employees who have been here 6-10 years; and five employees who have been here 3-5 years. The ages of our employees range from their early 20s to their 60s, with half in their 30s or early 40s. We prefer people who are enthusiastic and motivated self-starters with a solid work ethic. The ones who succeed and stay with us have positive attitudes and are “young at heart.” We like to have fun, play firm-wide games, and enjoy group social activities (like cornhole tournaments or a firm-wide game of assassin). But we also work hard and occasionally have to work late or on a weekend (such as when we're going to trial). We pride ourselves on our quality of work, strong relationships with clients, and killer results.
