What to Expect

Tesla Insurance is looking for a talented Paralegal to join the Legal & Compliance team supporting Tesla’s innovative insurance business. You will be a key partner on an interesting mix of corporate matters, extra-contractual and claims litigation, and subpoena response.

• Conduct factual and other research; draft correspondence, standard discovery responses, and internal updates that are accurate, concise, and ready for attorney use
• Take on additional legal projects as assigned

What You'll Bring

• 2+ years of relevant paralegal experience managing litigation matters in-house or at a law firm (insurance defense, coverage, extra-contractual/bad faith, or claims litigation strongly preferred), including subpoenas/third-party records requests, objections, meet-and-confers, and productions; strong working knowledge of litigation procedure (insurance-related a plus)
• Bachelor’s degree or paralegal certification preferred or equivalent experience; familiarity with insurance corporate/regulatory work (DOI correspondence, licensing, entity governance, or insurance contracts) a strong plus
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce polished filings, tables of authorities, chronologies, and executive-level updates
• Exceptional organizational, analytical, and fact-finding skills, with comfort juggling a high volume of matters under tight deadlines
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Adobe, court e-filing systems, and matter-management or e-discovery tools
• A proactive, ownership-minded approach, discretion with confidential information, and flexibility to take on new areas of responsibility
• Genuine interest in Tesla’s innovative products and insurance business, plus the ability to translate operational and technical facts into useful legal support
