Dentons Durham Jones Pinegar - Paralegal/Immigration Law

Dentons Durham Jones Pinegar seeks a full-time paralegal to join and work in our fast-paced and

growing immigration law practice headed by Tim Wheelwright, one of the most experienced and

well-respected immigration attorneys in Utah and the Intermountain Region. Although we

anticipate the successful candidate would work in the firm’s Salt Lake City office, we are willing

to consider other arrangements such as working in one of the firm’s other offices (Lehi, Ogden,

or St. George) and/or flexible telecommuting/work-from-home benefits in certain circumstances.

• The ideal candidate would already have extensive experience working as a paralegal or

related position in immigration law, preferably with an emphasis in employment-based projects,

but we are most interested in finding someone who possesses the professional skills listed below

and the personal attributes, ambition, desire, and interest to learn immigration law and work with

a clientele with a diversity of languages and cultures from all over the world.

• We are looking for someone who has excellent writing, reasoning, and verbal skills,

strong organizational, research and time management skills, and the ability to work

collaboratively and efficiently in a team environment on a high volume of time-sensitive and

high-stakes projects.

• The ideal candidate would also have a demonstrated ability to communicate effectively

in Spanish and English, however, a candidate who speaks another foreign language or who even

lacks such foreign language ability altogether, but possesses the qualities referenced in this job

posting, would still be considered strongly for this position.

• A bachelor’s degree and/or accredited paralegal certificate is required for the Paralegal

position. If a candidate does not possess this qualification, but does have the experience and

skills we seek, there is the option to hire that candidate as a Case Specialist.

DDJP offers an outstanding work environment including a robust benefits package.

Qualified candidates should e-mail cover letter and resume, to ddjp.resumes@dentons.com.
