* S|H|C distributes firm profit-based bonuses twice each year. The bonus pool is funded by a consistent percentage of firm profits, and individual bonus amounts vary based on the individual’s contribution and performance. For paralegals who consistently perform at a high level and contribute meaningfully to the success of the firm’s cases, these bonuses are often significant.

Schedule: This is a full-time, in-office position, Monday through Friday. While core office hours are approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., the firm is open to modest schedule adjustments to accommodate commute needs. Tenured employees work from home two days a week.
