Mercury Senior Litigation Paralegal supporting subpoenas, law enforcement requests, discovery, and related workflows with high autonomy. Responsible for managing high-volume processes and developing scalable systems to support litigation.
Responsibilities
You’ll be a key member of our litigation team, supporting work across subpoenas, law enforcement requests, demand letters, discovery, and related workflows. You’ll partner closely with the Deputy General Counsel, Litigation & IP and Senior Litigation Paralegal but operate with a high degree of autonomy—owning high-volume processes, driving execution, and developing creative solutions that enable the team to amplify its impact even as the company grows and scales.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where you’ll be trusted to figure out the right approach where there’s no playbook, manage competing priorities, and keep things moving—even when the path isn’t perfectly clear.
You’ll own core litigation-related workflows across the team, including managing responses to subpoenas and law enforcement requests, supporting discovery efforts, and coordinating litigation holds and document production.
You’ll take the lead on high-volume intake and response processes, ensuring requests are tracked, deadlines are met, and responses are prepared efficiently and accurately.
You’ll manage demand letter workflows end-to-end, including intake, drafting responses for attorney review, and driving matters through resolution.
You’ll partner closely with attorneys to draft materials and move work forward independently, escalating more complex or higher-risk issues when needed.
You’ll collaborate with Legal Operations to build and improve systems that support this work, including developing templates, playbooks, and more scalable processes for handling subpoenas, summons, and related matters.
You’ll help oversee and improve automation and AI-assisted tooling in this space—ensuring outputs are accurate, handling exceptions, and identifying opportunities to expand automation over time.
You’ll work cross-functionally with teams across the company to gather information and coordinate responses, and externally with vendors or outside counsel where needed.
