Corporate/Transactional Paralegal

Louisville, Kentucky Salary Range: $50,000 - $65,000 DOE

Onsite/Hybrid

ABOUT THE FIRM Ferreri Miller is a boutique transactional law firm based in Louisville, Kentucky. We focus exclusively on corporate transactions — M&A (sell-side emphasis), startup equity finance, and fractional general counsel services for founder-led and private equity-backed businesses. We do not handle litigation, domestic relations, or personal injury. We work on deals.

We operate on a flat-fee and retainer model. No timesheets. No billable-hour culture. Our pricing reflects the value we deliver, and our workflows are built around that philosophy.

We are a small, high-output team. AI-augmented work is not a future aspiration here — it is how we operate today. We use a stack of tools to punch well above our weight class on transactions. This role is an integral part of that system.ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a sharp, organized, and tech-forward Corporate Paralegal to join our team. This is a full- time position based in Louisville, but we are open to hybrid/remote arrangements for the right candidate. You will own the operational layer of our transactions — keeping checklists moving, chasing diligence, producing clean documents, coordinating filings and searches, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks while the attorneys focus on legal substance. You will also support client onboarding and pipeline hygiene, keeping our matter intake and CRM workflows running cleanly.

This is not a passive role. We want someone who takes initiative, communicates proactively, and brings genuine interest in building efficient, AI-assisted workflows. If you are looking for a slow-paced environment with rigid procedures, this is not the right place. If you want to be part of a firm that is rethinking how legal work gets done, read on.WHAT YOU’LL DO Document Production • Build first-pass document shells from templates — correct party names, defined terms, exhibits list, signature blocks. • Proofing and formatting: styles, numbering, cross-references, exhibits compilation, PDF assembly. • Version control: clean file naming, “compare” packages, circulate correct drafts, archive superseded versions. • Assemble signature packets and manage e-sign workflows (DocuSign prep, routing order, reminders, final executed set). • Create and maintain matter indexes tracking documents received/sent, status, and last revision date.Searches & Filings • Order and track lien searches, UCC searches/filings, and judgment searches via vendors; summarize results at a factual level for attorney review. • Handle entity formation and related filings (Secretary of State, EIN, assumed names); track confirmations and store receipts. • Prepare Form D filings with the SEC and state blue-sky securities filings. • Coordinate other regulatory filings as needed (licensure applications, etc.).Transaction Checklist Ownership • Log key dates (signing, diligence, closing target) and set reminders. • Maintain a “next action” list per matter; follow up with counterparties and clients on missing items. • Run a “waiting on” tracker across all parties — client, counterparty, lender, title, broker, CPA. • Build and maintain transaction checklists; keep statuses current; run daily/weekly updates to the team. • Collect and organize signature pages; manage the “who signs what” matrix. • Circulate near-final execution PDFs for attorney review; compile the final closing set and distribute post-close.Diligence & Data Room Support • Manage diligence request lists: intake, assign, chase, mark complete, log open questions. • Build and maintain data room structure and naming conventions; upload, deduplicate, and keep it organized. • Produce factual diligence summaries (what exists, what is missing, dates, parties) for attorney analysis. • Track consents and third-party notice requirements (required vs. obtained vs. pending), including change-of-control triggers.Vendor & Service-Provider Coordination • Manage relationships with filing services and lien/UCC search vendors. • Maintain a preferred vendor list with pricing and turnaround SLAs. • Coordinate subcontract support logistics (conflict/engagement setup, document routing, deadlines) while attorneys manage substance.Matter Logistics & Client Onboarding • Set up new matters in Clio: client/matter folder structure, naming conventions, conflict-check entry. • Route conflict-check results to the responsible attorney for review and decision. • Manage engagement letter and invoice workflow: populate client information, send via e-signature, track execution, confirm payment, confirm “engaged” status. • Send client welcome communications: next steps, timelines, communication expectations, document upload instructions.CRM & Pipeline Hygiene • Maintain lead pipeline stages in HubSpot: ensure every lead has a next step, owner, and follow-up date. • Track referral sources; maintain a referral partner list; schedule outreach reminders. • Assist with social media and content operations: proofreading, formatting, scheduling, and uploading posts to LinkedIn and the firm website.WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR • 2+ years of experience in a legal, transactional, or business operations environment — law firm, in- house legal team, or equivalent. • Strong organizational instincts. You track things, close loops, and flag problems before they become crises. • Experience with corporate filings, UCC searches, and transactional document management. • Excellent written communication — clear, professional, and appropriately concise. • Comfort with technology and a genuine interest in AI-augmented workflows. We use Claude, ChatGPT, Spellbook, Clio, DocuSign, and Microsoft 365, and we are always looking to improve our systems. Curiosity and adaptability matter more than familiarity with any specific tool. • Ability to manage multiple active matters simultaneously without dropping details. • Professional discretion. We handle confidential business transactions. Trustworthiness is non- negotiable.
