About this role
Morgan & Morgan's Employment Law department in Tampa is seeking a litigation paralegal to support a team of eight attorneys handling workplace discrimination, retaliation, wage-and-hour violations, and wrongful termination cases. This is a full-time, in-office role where you'll take on substantive casework rather than administrative support—drafting pleadings and motions, managing discovery, coordinating depositions, and e-filing in federal and state courts. You'll also serve as a key point of contact for clients, opposing counsel, and internal stakeholders, helping to keep a growing practice organized and responsive.
The ideal candidate has at least two years of legal experience in a law-firm setting, with a preference for federal-court litigation background. You should be comfortable with pleadings, motion practice, discovery procedures, and electronic filing systems, and you'll need strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment. An associate degree, paralegal certificate, or equivalent experience is required.
Morgan & Morgan offers full-time employees medical and dental insurance, a 401(k) plan, paid time off, and paid holidays. The position is Monday through Friday in the Tampa office with no remote or hybrid flexibility.
