TITLE:Remote Corporate Paralegal Jobs – Full‑Time Senior‑Level Support in Brownsville, Texas – $70‑$85K yr + Benefits, Contract Review, Deal‑Desk Experience, andAdvanced Microsoft 365 Skills --- We’re a boutique corporate services firm that has quietly grown from a two‑person startup in Brownsville, Texas to a 45‑person practice serving high‑growth tech companies across the United States. Our clients range from VC‑backed SaaS platforms to mid‑size manufacturing groups that need a reliable partner for board minutes, SEC filings, and the day‑to‑day legal logistics that keep their businesses moving.Because we’ve just signed three new Series C financings this quarter, our corporate paralegal pipeline has doubled, and we need a seasoned remote professional who can keep the deal desk humming while we expand our client roster. That’s why we’re looking for aRemote Corporate Paralegal to join our Brownsville, Texas‑based team on a full‑time basis. You’ll be the connective tissue between lawyers, founders, and investors, turning raw contracts into clean, compliant documents that pass board review without a hitch.### Who We Are - Founded in 2017 in downtown Brownsville, Texas, we started as a one‑lawyer practice focused on incorporation paperwork. - Team size: 45 staff, including 5 attorneys, 12 paralegals, 8 compliance analysts, and a support crew in finance and operations. - Revenue growth: 38 % YoY for the past three years, driven by a mix of subscription‑based legal service packages and project‑based engagements. - Culture: We run an asynchronous work model, but we still meet twice a week for a 45‑minute “coffee‑chat” over video so the team feels human.You’ll be part of a group that values clear communication over buzzwords. When we say “we own the process,” we mean you’ll sit at the table with the attorney, see a contract through drafting, review, execution, and filing, and then close the loop with the client—all without a manager breathing down your neck. ### WhyThis Role Exists NowOur recent influx of private‑equity and venture‑backed clients means the volume of corporate filings, board resolutions, and compliance checklists has surged by 62 % over the last six months.The senior paralegal will relieve our attorneys of routine document prep, allowing them to focus on higher‑value legal strategy. In short, we need you to keep the legal machinery well‑oiled while we chase new business opportunities in Brownsville, Texas and beyond. ### What You’ll Do (Day‑to‑Day) 1. Contract Review & Drafting – Take initial drafts from founders or vendors, run a red‑line in Microsoft Word, and ensure each clause aligns with our internal templates. 2. Deal‑Desk Management – Populate deal‑track spreadsheets, monitor closing calendars, and send gentle reminders to parties that a signature is pending.3. Corporate Governance – Prepare board packets, capture minutes, and file them in our secure Diligence Vault (a SharePoint‑based repository). 4. Compliance Monitoring – Run quarterly compliance checks against state‑level corporate statutes for Brownsville, Texas and other jurisdictions where our clients operate. 5. SEC & State Filings – Draft and file Form D, Form 8‑K, and state‑level annual reports using Clio Manage and DocuSign eSignature. 6. Client Communication – Act as the first point of contact for routine inquiries, translating legal jargon into plain English for founders who aren’t lawyers.7. Process Improvement – Identify bottlenecks in our contract workflow and propose automation using Zapier or Power Automate. You’ll own these tasks from start to finish, reporting directly to theSenior Attorney on the corporate team. While you’ll work remotely, we’ll still keep a shared calendar in Google Calendar so you can see when the legal team blocks time for “deal‑review” or “board‑prep.” Expect to spend roughly 70 % of your time on contract‑related work and 30 % on governance filings and client liaison duties.### Tools & Technology (We Use 12, You’ll Own Them) - Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, Teams, Power Automate) – the backbone of our document creation and workflow automation. - Clio Manage – our practice‑management platform for matter tracking, billing, and time entry. - DocuSign – for legally binding e‑signatures across jurisdictions. - SharePoint / OneDrive – secure storage for board minutes, corporate records, and compliance checklists. - Zapier – we have a few “if‑this‑then‑that” automations that route signed contracts to the appropriate folders.- Google Workspace (Calendar, Drive) – used for cross‑team scheduling and quick file sharing with non‑lawyers. - Slack – our informal chat channel where we’ll ping you a quick “Hey, could you pull the latest cap table?” - Confluence – houses our internal SOPs, template library, and the ever‑evolving “Paralegal Playbook.” - JIRA – we track internal improvement tickets here; you’ll log any workflow bugs you find. - Zoom – for those occasional client video calls when a founder wants to walk through a term sheet.- Adobe Acrobat Pro – for PDF redaction, form‑filling, and finalization of filing packages. - Lexicata (now Clio Grow) – for onboarding new corporate clients and capturing the initial data feed into our system. We expect you to be comfortable moving between these platforms, and we’ll give you two weeks of “tool‑bootcamp” when you start. ### Success Metrics (How We’ll Know You’re Winning) - Turn‑around time – 90 % of contracts are drafted, reviewed, and sent for signature within 3 business days of receipt.- Compliance score – Zero missed filing deadlines for state or SEC reports each quarter. - Client satisfaction – Average rating of 4.7+/5 on post‑engagement surveys regarding “paralegal responsiveness.” - Process efficiency – Reduce manual data entry time by 20 % within the first six months via automation suggestions. Meeting these targets means we can keep attorney billable hours high while keeping clients happy, which directly fuels our revenue goal of $12 M by the end of 2025. ### Who You Are (The Ideal Candidate) -Experience: Minimum 4 years as a corporate paralegal, preferably with at least one year handling venture‑backed tech deals.-Education: Associate’s degree in Paralegal Studies or a Bachelor’s in Legal Studies; a Certified Paralegal (CP) credential is a plus. - Technical fluency: Comfortable building Excel pivot tables, creating macros, and tweaking Power Automate flows. - Attention to detail: You can spot a missing signature or a mis‑dated clause in a 150‑page agreement on the first glance. - Communication: Able to translate dense legal language into plain English for founders who think “cap table” is a new type of coffee.- Self‑management: Because we work remote, you’ll need to structure your day, meet deadlines without daily check‑ins, and keep your Slack status honest. - Values: Integrity, confidentiality, and a willingness to ask “why” when a process seems outdated. If you’ve ever pulled an entire board packet together in a single afternoon, or built a macro that auto‑populates a Cap Table from a CSV, you’ll fit right in. ### Benefits &Compensation -Salary: $70,000 – $85,000 per year, commensurate with experience, paid bi‑weekly.- Health: Medical, dental, vision plans covering you and dependents, with a $500 employer contribution toward HSAs. - Retirement: 4 % company match on 401(k) contributions, vested after one year. - Paid time off: 20 days vacation + 10 public holidays; we encourage you to take a “digital detox” at least once per year. -Professional development: $2,000 annual stipend for certifications, conferences, or courses (including CLE if you’re a paralegal with a CPA). -Remote stipend: $150 per month toward home‑office ergonomics, internet, or coworking space in Brownsville, Texas.### (Our Simple Process) 1.

I pulled the latest minutes from SharePoint, drafted a concise summary, and sent it within 45 minutes. That night, the founder sent me a picture of his cat perched on the paperwork with the caption ‘You saved my week – thank you!’ It reminded me that behind every filing is a real person needing clarity.” – Samantha,Senior Paralegal, 3 years with us --- We’re not looking for someone who merely checks boxes; we’re looking for a partner who can anticipate obstacles, ask thoughtful questions, and keep our corporate files clean and compliant while we grow our footprint in Brownsville, Texas and beyond.If you thrive in a quiet, focused environment where your work directly impacts founders’ ability to raise capital and stay compliant, then thisRemote Corporate Paralegal role is the next step in your career.
