Paralegal

Randstad is partnering exclusively with one of Canada’s largest and most respected cooperative financial and insurance institutions to find a Litigation Paralegal to join their close-knit in-house legal team. This is a temporary position, offering an initial 6-month timeline with a very strong likelihood of extension or transition support. If you excel at file management, value a supportive corporate culture, and want to leave your work at the office at 5:00 PM without the stress of mandatory overtime, this is the contract for you.
