# Remote Paralegal > Remote Raven · Philippines (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-05-21 **Workplace:** remote ## Description Commercial litigation paralegals: this role is drafting-heavy, deadline-driven, and behind-the-scenes. No client-facing courtroom theater. Our client is a Phoenix-based commercial litigation firm with two core practice areas — commercial litigation and commercial collections. We are hiring a Remote Paralegal to be the offshore half of their onshore paralegal team: drafting pleadings, tracking deadlines across a sizable collections docket, and running the workflow that lets the attorneys focus on substance. You will work directly with a senior onshore paralegal who reviews your drafts and the supervising attorney on each matter. Feedback is direct and frequent in the first 60 days — that is how we get you to clean drafts faster. Success in this role looks like clean drafts, accurate dockets, on-time filings, and zero surprises for the onshore team. This is a substantive legal support role, not an administrative one. It requires a strong working knowledge of US civil litigation procedure, document-perfect written English, and the proven ability to manage a high volume of matters at the same time without missed deadlines. **What You Will Actually Do** **Commercial Litigation Support** - Draft pleadings from scratch: complaints, answers, motions, discovery requests and responses, subpoenas, stipulations - Support all phases of commercial litigation, from pre-suit through trial and appeal - Prepare and organize exhibits, binders, and supporting documentation for hearings, depositions, and trial - Run a forward-looking deadline scan every morning; flag anything within 7 days to the supervising attorney before they ask **Commercial Collections Support** - Draft collections pleadings including complaints, default judgment motions, writs of garnishment, and writs of execution - Track active collection cases from filing through judgment and post-judgment enforcement - Prepare and process correspondence to debtors, opposing parties, and courts as directed - Assist with documentation related to accounts receivable, judgments, and payment records **Case Management & Docketing** - Maintain accurate, up-to-date case files and records across all assigned matters - Track court deadlines, statute of limitations dates, hearing dates, and response deadlines using the firm's docketing system - Send proactive written status updates to the onshore team — no one should have to chase you for a case status - Organize and maintain digital case files in a consistent, retrievable format **Discovery Support** - Prepare and organize discovery: interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission, and responses - Review and organize document productions; assist with privilege log preparation - Coordinate with e-discovery vendors or internal teams for document review and production - Prepare deposition summaries, chronologies, and witness outlines as directed **Administrative & Team Support** - Reduce administrative burden on the onshore team through reliable, organized support - Handle client communication and correspondence as directed and within defined scope - Assist with intake of new matters, including opening files, conflict checks, and initial documentation ## Requirements **What This Role Requires** - 2+ years drafting US litigation pleadings — not reviewing them, not formatting them, drafting them - A track record of managing 20+ active matters without missed deadlines - Written English clean enough that attorneys edit substance, not grammar - Comfortable working independently in a remote environment while staying in close coordination with an onshore team - Daily working-hour overlap with US Mountain Time business hours **Helpful but Not Required** - Commercial collections background, including post-judgment enforcement - Arizona e-filing experience (AZTurboCourt) or e-filing in other US state courts - Fluency with case management and docketing software (ProLaw, Clio, Aderant, CompuLaw) - Prior support of a business or commercial litigation practice at a US law firm **How We Work — The Honest Version** - This role is heavy on independent drafting. If you need real-time supervision to produce work, this is not a fit. - You will be the offshore half of an onshore team. Coordination overhead is real — proactive written communication is the job, not a soft skill. - Deadlines in litigation are not flexible. We are looking for someone who has internalized that. ## Benefits **Compensation** $7–$8 USD per hour, depending on commercial collections experience and US-court e-filing fluency. Full-time, 40 hours per week, 100% remote. **Application Instructions** **Two steps are required for your application to be reviewed:** 1.   Apply through this posting with your résumé. 2.   Complete the Aptive Index assessment (about 8 minutes): [https://assessment.aptiveindex.com/s/f0eyORKBaAp6](https://assessment.aptiveindex.com/s/f0eyORKBaAp6) Applications submitted without the completed assessment will not move forward. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a brief initial screening call. **Data Privacy** By applying, you consent to being contacted via the contact information provided in your application for recruitment purposes only. **Interview Scheduling Notice** Initial calls run in US Mountain Standard Time (MST), within a 3:00 AM – 1:00 PM MST window. In local time: Philippines (PHT) 6:00 PM – 4:00 AM, Guatemala (CST) 4:00 AM – 2:00 PM, South Africa (SAST) 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM, and Kenya (EAT) 1:00 PM – 11:00 PM. Some of these are tougher than others — PHT is an overnight shift, SAST runs into your evening. Please apply only if you have actually thought about whether this works for your life, not just whether you can technically do it. ## Apply [Apply at Remote Raven](https://apply.workable.com/remote-raven/j/DCB1D80B30/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
