We are looking for a Litigation Paralegal in our Boise office. This position assists attorneys in the delivery of legal services to the firm's clients and works under the direction of the firm's lawyers and, in many instances, directly with clients. Responsibilities for client work are directed by an attorney. The ideal candidate will be highly organized and experienced in litigation, applying knowledge of codes, statutes, regulations, and procedures related to the assigned practice area. The Litigation Paralegal will conduct pre-claim investigations, legal research, and initial case assessments. This includes obtaining records and documents, interviewing clients, parties, and witnesses, preparing subpoenas, locating expert witnesses, managing litigation review databases, and reviewing literature and searching databases.

At the end of the case, the paralegal will oversee the disposition of documents. Responsibilities also include annotating, summarizing, or categorizing testimony, documents, physical evidence, or other information; assisting with determining relevance and privilege; critiquing experts' reports; and preparing numerical analyses.
