Contract & Litigation Paralegal

Young Automotive Group is one of the most recognized automotive groups in the Region, operating multi-franchise dealerships across Utah, Idaho, and Montana. We are proud to have earned recognition as a top place to work, and we take that distinction seriously not just as an accolade, but as a reflection of how we treat our people every day.

We are currently seeking an experienced Contract & Litigation Paralegal to join our in-house legal team. This is a role for someone who knows their craft and is ready to bring it somewhere that will invest in them in return.

You will work directly alongside our General Counsel, taking ownership of contract review and drafting, legal writing, and active litigation support including trial preparation. We are not looking for someone who needs close direction. We are looking for someone who can step in, take ownership, and grow with us. We are seeking candidates with a paralegal degree or equivalent certification from an accredited program and a minimum of three years of direct experience in contracts and civil litigation. Strong legal writing and research skills are essential, as is the ability to manage a complex workload independently and with precision.

What We Offer

We believe that great people deserve great support. Our benefits package reflects that commitment:

Competitive salary ranging from $70,000 to $90,000, commensurate with experience

Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage

On-site medical clinic for employees and their families

401(k) with company support

Life insurance

A workplace culture that has earned top employer recognition because we work hard to earn it

Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts across the organization, including dealer agreements, vendor contracts, and purchase/sale agreements

Identify contractual risk and recommend appropriate revisions to protect the organization

Produce legal correspondence, motions, pleadings, and supporting documentation

Manage litigation matters from pre-trial preparation through resolution

Coordinate discovery, prepare witness files, and liaise with outside counsel as needed

Demonstrated strength in legal writing, research, and document drafting

Experience managing multiple active litigation matters simultaneously

Working knowledge of UCC Article 2 and Article 9 as they apply to vehicle sales and secured transactions

Proficiency with Westlaw, LexisNexis, or comparable legal research platforms

Ability to communicate complex legal matters clearly to non-legal stakeholders

High degree of discretion in handling sensitive business and personnel matters

Academic excellence matters to us. We want candidates who took their education seriously and have carried that standard into every role since.

Experience in mergers and acquisitions, dealership acquisitions, real property or asset purchase transactions, or multi-state automotive operations is a plus, though not required.
