Pay: $85,000.00 - $110,000.00 per year

WHY THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY

• Join a well-established, full-service law firm with nearly a century of history and a forward-thinking culture — where your work genuinely matters and your contributions are recognized
• Dive into substantive healthcare transactional work — M&A, joint ventures, affiliations, and regulatory compliance — at a firm with deep healthcare industry expertise
• Work alongside experienced attorneys in a collaborative, team-oriented environment where paralegals are valued members of the deal team, not just support staff
• Gain exposure to complex healthcare regulatory frameworks including HIPAA, Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, and Medicare/Medicaid compliance
• Competitive compensation plus eligibility for discretionary year-end bonuses and merit-based increases
• Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, 401(k), generous paid time off, and access to additional voluntary programs
• A firm culture built on work-life balance, community engagement, and genuine investment in professional growth

Location: Based in our Roseland, NJ office, this role starts on-site and transitions to a hybrid schedule after 90 days — a great opportunity to get fully embedded with the team before enjoying the flexibility of a blended work arrangement.

Note: This role requires a minimum of 5+ years of corporate paralegal experience in a law firm setting, with direct exposure to corporate transactions. Healthcare regulatory experience is a strong plus. Candidates without law firm corporate transactional backgrounds will not be considered.
