Legal Operations Paralegal

Join Fehr & Peers to help build an efficient, collaborative legal function that supports meaningful work improving communities. As a key member of our Legal team, you'll partner closely with our in-house attorney to keep legal operations running smoothly, coordinate contract workflows, and ensure our attorney can focus on providing strategic legal guidance across the company.

At Fehr & Peers, legal is a trusted advisor—not a gatekeeper. Our team works collaboratively with project managers, business services staff, and firm leadership to identify practical solutions, manage risk, and support business objectives.

We are a transportation planning and engineering firm with 24 offices and more than 400 staff nationwide. Since 1985, we have partnered with public, private, and institutional clients to design safer, more effective ways for people and goods to move. We combine data, technology, and community insight to help our clients make confident, well-informed decisions.

We're seeking an organized, detail-oriented Paralegal who enjoys creating order from complexity, anticipates what attorneys need before they ask, and takes pride in building efficient processes. They are equally comfortable managing administrative details, organizing legal information, and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives. They communicate effectively with attorneys, project managers, and business professionals, helping legal services remain responsive, practical, and business-focused.

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree, or Paralegal Certificate from an ABA-approved or accredited program preferred.
• 3+ years of experience as a corporate or transactional paralegal, preferably supporting in-house counsel or a law firm serving business clients.
• Experience working with contracts and legal document management.
• Strong organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while meeting deadlines with minimal supervision.
• Strong judgment in handling confidential and sensitive information.
• Experience conducting legal research and preparing legal documents.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) and document management systems.
• Curiosity and adaptability in leveraging AI and emerging technologies to improve legal workflows and operational efficiency.
• A collaborative mindset grounded in humility, responsiveness, and a commitment to supporting colleagues across the firm.
• Ability to reliably work in the office at least two days per week.
