Paralegals
Covington employs paralegals to assist attorneys and clients in all of its practice areas. The firm's team-based approach brings together lawyers and paralegals from different offices to meet the needs of its clients. Regardless of your experience, your contributions are highly valued at the firm.
Recruitment
The California offices generally recruit experienced litigation paralegals.
Work Responsibilities
In the California offices, paralegals in the Litigation Practice Group assist in the management of complex litigation matters, including trial preparation and participation. Paralegals may assist attorneys on pro bono matters.
Typical litigation tasks performed by paralegals entail: organizing and maintaining documents and databases; using LexisNexis or Westlaw to pull cases and cite-check briefs; and, preparing attorneys for client meetings, depositions, hearings, and trials.
Training
New paralegals take part in basic orientation upon starting at the firm, which includes an overview of firm policies and practices as well as basic computer training. Additional training is provided as needed to reinforce Covington practices and procedures, and to introduce new technology and information.
Qualifications
California paralegal candidates must have a four-year undergraduate degree and be willing to make a minimum two-year commitment to employment at the firm. Applicants need not have majored in any specific field, but should have compiled a strong academic record, demonstrated leadership skills and an ability to work with others in a disciplined environment, and possess solid law firm experience. Candidates are first screened on the basis of their resumes and, if invited for an interview, are asked to provide a college transcript and work references.
