Paralegal — Bail & Documentation

Job Overview

Bailjini's Paralegals are the operational force behind every bail matter we handle. You will manage the documentation, filing, court coordination, and post-bail execution work that ensures our clients are released as fast as possible after an order is passed. This is a high-accountability, high-impact role for someone who is organised, proactive, and genuinely committed to doing their job with precision.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and organise all documents required for bail applications: FIR copies, arrest memos, identity proofs, surety affidavits, and supporting evidence
• Coordinate with court clerks, police station staff, and court registries for filing and tracking of bail applications
• Manage the post-bail process: surety verification, bail bond execution, and release coordination
• Maintain the case tracking system and update case status after every court appearance
• Prepare certified copies of court orders and coordinate their service on police stations
• Support advocate preparation for hearings by organising case files, printing pleadings, and maintaining bundles
• Coordinate with clients and their families on documentation requirements and timelines
• Accompany clients or their families to court or police stations when required

What We Are Looking For

• Legal background — LLB, paralegal diploma, or 1–3 years' experience in a criminal law office
• Thorough knowledge of Mumbai's court filing procedures and police station documentation requirements
• Meticulous organisational skills — ability to track multiple matters simultaneously without losing detail
• Fluency in Marathi, Hindi, and English — all three are used daily in court and police interactions
• Ability to work under time pressure, including early mornings, evenings, and occasional weekends
• Absolute discretion and respect for client confidentiality

Nice to Have

• Experience with surety and bail bond documentation in Mumbai courts
• Familiarity with the BNSS e-filing systems
• Basic computer skills including MS Word, Excel, and Google Workspace
