Isabella Romano

I am pleased to apply for the Litigation Paralegal position in your commercial disputes group. Over five years I have supported attorneys from the first demand letter through to trial, and I take pride in being the person who knows exactly where every document is.

At a mid-size New York firm, I currently support three partners on complex contract and employment cases. My work includes:

• managing e-discovery for a breach-of-contract case involving 1.4 million documents in Relativity, delivering every production on schedule
• preparing trial binders and exhibit lists for two jury trials, both of which ended in favorable verdicts
• building a deadline-tracking system in our case management software that the litigation department adopted firm-wide

I hold a paralegal certificate from NYU and a BA in Political Science. I am skilled in Westlaw, legal citation and state and federal e-filing, and I am trusted with confidential client information every day. Attorneys often say they appreciate that I flag gaps in the record early – a missing exhibit found three weeks before trial is a minor task, but found the night before it is a crisis.

Your firm’s reputation for careful preparation is exactly why I would like to join it. Thank you for your consideration – I look forward to the possibility of speaking with you.
