Cerami Search Group is partnering with a highly respected Houston law firm seeking an experienced Senior Trial Paralegal to support complex commercial litigation matters.
This opportunity is built for a true trial paralegal — someone who thrives in high-stakes environments, understands the pace and pressure of trial work, and plays a critical role from discovery through verdict.

- Strong e-discovery background and comfort with litigation databases
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive
- Composed and confident in high-intensity trial settings
- Team-oriented professional who anticipates attorney needs and takes ownership
Why This Role Stands Out
- Meaningful, hands-on involvement in real trials
- Sophisticated commercial litigation docket
- Trial-focused attorneys who truly value paralegals
- Competitive compensation and long-term career stability
- Convenient west Houston location just outside the 610 Loop
