The Starkey Law Group is a high-performance, fast-moving firm based in Lithia Springs, Georgia. Backed by deep litigation, commercial, and government expertise, the firm has rebuilt its culture around accountability, high standards, and top-tier performance. The team is committed to excellence in every matter, from personal injury to city governance.
The Local Government practice – serving the City of Fairburn – is the firm’s most demanding, high-volume department. The team handles legislation, contracts, litigation oversight, departmental operations, and daily advisory work for 16 city departments. This division moves quickly, requires sharp judgment, and depends on reliable support from people who love responsibility and thrive under pressure.
The Starkey Law Group is hiring a Global Local Government Paralegal to support its Local Government practice and serve as the operational anchor across a high volume of advisory, transactional, and litigation-related work.
This is a 100% remote independent contractor opportunity for an experienced paralegal located outside the United States who can work effectively within a U.S.-based legal environment and support the firm's attorneys during U.S. Eastern Time business hours.
What you’ll do:
- Draft and prepare ordinances, resolutions, amendments, memos, contracts, pleadings, discovery, PowerPoints, and city agenda materials for attorney review
- Manage 100–120+ active matters (“transactions”), including advice and counsel, advisory memos, departmental requests, special projects, contract reviews, and legislation
- Track, case manage, and push forward litigation matters
- Maintain an organized caseload report for three attorneys and assign workload based on bandwidth
- Extract meaning from cryptic forwarded emails, interpret context, and take initiative without waiting for prompts
- Communicate with city department heads and external stakeholders
- Monitor and sort incoming emails daily and ensure nothing slips through
- Schedule calls, meetings, hearings, city sessions, and project touchpoints
- Manage up: flag deadlines, push attorneys to stay ahead, and keep work flowing
- Coordinate deliverables across multiple attorneys and their support staff
- Delegate tasks to of-counsel attorneys when needed to keep the pace
- Support contract drafting, transactional work, litigation case management, and city project management
- Prepare materials for city council meetings, special-called meetings, election-related matters, special trainings, and other municipal needs
- Ensure zero missed deadlines and consistently deliver high-quality first drafts.
What we’re looking for:
- Approximately 2–5 years of paralegal experience, ideally supporting a U.S.-based law firm or legal practice
- Strong litigation exposure preferred
- Experience supporting multiple attorneys simultaneously
- Ability to manage a high volume of active matters without losing accuracy or momentum
- Strong written and verbal English communications
- Exceptional organization, follow-through, and deadline management
- High initiative and the ability to move work forward without constant direction
- Strong judgment when interpreting incomplete or ambiguous requests
- Ability to manage up, anticipate attorney needs, and proactively flag deadlines
- High emotional intelligence, professionalism, and a low-ego approach to teamwork
- Government or municipal experience is helpful but not required
- Comfortable working remotely as part of a fast-moving U.S. legal team
- Available to work approximately 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Eastern Time
Why you should work here:
- High-impact role: You become the central force that keeps the city’s legal operations moving smoothly
- Growth and mastery: You’ll develop deep expertise in contracts, legislation, litigation, and city governance
- Elite culture: Work with high-IQ, high-initiative professionals who expect excellence from themselves and each other
- Direct mentorship: Daily collaboration with three attorneys, including the City Attorney
- Clear expectations: No ambiguity, no emotional waste, no drama — just high standards and high performance
Work Arrangement & Compensation
- Global/Offshore opportunity
- 100% remote
- Independent contractor structure
- Monthly compensation approximately $2,500–$3,000 USD, depending on experience and qualifications
- Expected working hours: approximately 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Eastern Time
- No traditional U.S. employee benefits or PTO package
If you thrive under pressure, love being the person who “gets it done,” and want to work somewhere that matches your drive, this is your role. You won’t be micromanaged, and you won’t be babysat – but your work will directly influence the success of the City of Fairburn's legal operations.
Bring your initiative, your discipline, and your pride in excellent work. Apply now.
