Job Title: Litigation Paralegal

Location: Concord Mills Area (North Charlotte) (In-Office)

Firm: Karney Clayton Law Firm

Salary: $75,000 – $85,000 + Year-End Bonus

Caseload: 20-30 Cases

Karney Clayton is a trial-focused personal injury law firm dedicated to helping injured motorcyclists rebuild their lives after serious crashes. This is not a factory firm. We DON'T do high-volume/low-value cases. Our cases matter, and the work we do truly helps our clients and their families. We take pride in preparing every case as if it will go to trial and building a team of professionals who are committed to excellence, accountability, and results.

We are looking for an experienced Litigation Paralegal who understands the difference between pre-litigation case management and real litigation work. If your experience is primarily demand letters and settlement negotiations, this role likely is not the right fit. We need someone who has actually worked litigation files and can step in and contribute immediately.

This is a full-time, in-office position in our Charlotte office. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who takes initiative, stays organized, and works well with others.

You will play a key role in preparing cases for litigation and trial. We are looking for someone who is comfortable owning their responsibilities and who takes pride in doing high-quality work.

Your caseload will be manageable. Probably around 15-20 active litigation files, with a handful of other cases preparing to be filed. We can mix in a few pre-litigation cases if needed.

• Draft and file litigation documents including complaints, motions, discovery, and subpoenas
• Manage litigation deadlines and court calendars
• Prepare and respond to discovery requests (interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission)
• Organize and maintain litigation files and evidence
• Coordinate depositions, hearings, mediations, and trial logistics
• Assist attorneys with case strategy and trial preparation
• Communicate with clients, opposing counsel, experts, and court personnel
• Prepare exhibits, deposition summaries, and trial binders

• 3+ years of litigation paralegal experience (personal injury preferred)
• Demonstrated experience handling active litigation files
• Experience with discovery drafting and responses
• Experience with court filings and litigation deadlines
• Strong organizational and time-management skills
• Ability to take ownership of tasks and follow through
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Team-oriented mindset with the ability to work with others

We are specifically seeking candidates with true litigation experience. Many PI paralegals have experience only in pre-litigation case management, which is very different from handling litigation files. Candidates should be comfortable discussing their hands-on litigation responsibilities during the interview process.

• Salary: $75,000 – $85,000 depending on experience
• Year-End Performance Bonus
• Health Insurance
• 401(k) with Employer Match
• Generous Paid Time Off (PTO)

You may apply through LinkedIn and/or submit your resume and a brief cover email to (short and to the point, no fluff please) explaining your litigation experience and why you want to join us. Those who email me will get my attention first.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work and wants to be part of a team that takes cases seriously and fights for injured riders.

• Absolute discretion in handling confidential matters. 

Why You'll Love Working at Gardner Skelton 

• Culture & Community: We’ve cultivated a genuinely supportive environment where everyone’s ideas matter. You’ll work alongside passionate colleagues who truly enjoy their work—and each other.
