Paralegal - Boston

The Boston office of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP is looking for a Paralegal to join our team. We’re a collection of smart, dedicated, and creative lawyers and staff working on some of the most high quality, cutting edge pharmaceutical litigation in the country. For example, we’re headed to trial against HIV drug manufacturers for illegally thwarting competition for major HIV treatments and we’ll soon be in trial against the makers of brand and generic Zetia, a cholesterol drug, on our claims that they unlawfully delayed generic competition. In the last two years. We received final approval for one and then another of the largest settlements in direct purchaser pharmaceutical antitrust cases ever, both resolved mere weeks before trial. We don’t always win but we don’t give up.

We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards, take pride in originating, aggressively working, and trying cases, and genuinely like each other. Some of us have never (by choice!) had another legal field job anywhere else.
