Asbestos Litigation Paralegal - Tampa, FL

Job Description

Job Description

An established confidential plaintiff-side law firm with a national presence is seeking an experienced litigation paralegal to join its Tampa, Florida office. The firm represents individuals and families diagnosed with mesothelioma and asbestos-related cancers — meaningful, impactful work that requires a team with both legal expertise and genuine compassion for clients.

We're looking for a paralegal with strong plaintiff-side asbestos or toxic tort experience. Candidates from related fields like product liability, mass tort, or medically complex personal injury are also welcome to apply. This is not a fit for defense-side asbestos practitioners.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Assist attorneys with every stage of asbestos/mesothelioma litigation, from initial case intake through deposition, mediation, and trial
• Obtain, review, and organize medical records, exposure histories, employment records, and other case-critical documents
• Draft discovery pleadings, subpoenas, and responses; compile exhibits for depositions and trial
• Coordinate with expert witnesses — scheduling, preparation, and communication throughout the litigation process
• Handle court filings across Florida state courts and federal venues, maintaining accurate deadline and docket tracking
• Act as a direct point of contact for clients, providing updates with care and professionalism

What You Bring:

• Minimum 2 years of plaintiff-side asbestos/mesothelioma paralegal experience; related toxic tort or mass tort experience considered
• Proven track record supporting complex litigation through discovery, depositions, and trial prep
• Excellent organizational skills and the ability to prioritize across a high-volume, deadline-intensive caseload
• Empathy and professionalism in client-facing situations involving serious medical diagnoses
• Experience with e-filing, case management software, and document management platforms

What's Offered:

• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
• Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, and vision coverage
• Career stability and advancement in a nationally recognized, growing practice
• Collegial team environment with strong attorney mentorship and support
