Are you looking for a new challenge in a fast-paced, innovative, and customer-centric company? Come and join the growing Litigation & Regulatory Operations team at Amazon.
We are looking for an experienced litigation paralegal to work with attorneys and manage complex antitrust matters and government regulatory investigations, as well as other complex litigation matters such as IP infringement, commercial disputes, and employment disputes. A key component of this role is leveraging and advancing AI-driven solutions to improve legal operations. You will be expected to design and implement AI solutions using Amazon services, including Amazon Kiro and Amazon Quick, to automate workflows, enhance data analysis, and drive operational efficiency across the team.
Key job responsibilities
- Conduct fact-finding, data analysis, and develop a thorough understanding of case issues and claims, utilizing AI tools to accelerate research and identify patterns across large datasets
- Identify relevant custodians and interview internal witnesses
- Draft legal hold notices and collect data from various tools and business partner teams
- Organize voluminous case materials using Amazon's internal database software programs and AI-assisted document management solutions
- Manage outside counsel on data requests and collaborate with eDiscovery vendors on document collections and productions, including AI-driven review platforms
- Schedule large numbers of depositions and support deposition preparation
- Update budgets and track legal spend
- Provide end-to-end legal support for litigation matters from inception to closure, including discovery, summary judgment work, and hearing preparation
- Represent Amazon in Small Claims court, virtually, and in-person, across the US and Canada. Some travel can be expected.
- Manage alternative legal service providers for processing high-volume pre-litigation legal disputes (subpoenas, demands, arbitrations, etc.)
- Design and implement AI solutions using Amazon services (Amazon Kiro and Amazon Quick) to automate workflows and enhance data analysis
- Identify opportunities to integrate AI tools into existing legal processes and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to deploy scalable, effective solutions
- Drive best practices — including AI adoption and workflow optimization — and serve as practice group liaison within the Litigation & Regulatory team
A day in the life
Few days are the same in this role. You might start your morning using AI-powered tools like Amazon Quick to research and organize case materials for an active investigation, then shift to coordinating with eDiscovery vendors on document review and production. After lunch, you could be interviewing an internal witness, prototyping a new AI workflow in Amazon Kiro to streamline a workstream, or managing outside counsel requests. You'll regularly collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders — attorneys, finance team members, engineers, and business partners — to solve challenges, explore new AI capabilities, and streamline processes for efficiency.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Paralegal
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation
Paralegal roles must require a specific bachelor's degree, not just any degree, to qualify for H-1B1 visa. Check the O*NET occupation profile for Paralegals to confirm the degree requirement language before approaching employers.
Target law firms with active LCA history
Search DOL's OFLC Wage Search for certified Labor Condition Applications filed under paralegal or legal assistant SOC codes. Firms that have filed before understand the H-1B1 Chile process and won't need educating during your interview.
Find H-1B1 Chile sponsorship jobs on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter paralegal openings by employers with verified H-1B1 Chile filing history. This cuts through postings where sponsorship is listed as possible but the employer has no practical experience filing for Chilean nationals.
Prepare a credential equivalency letter early
Chilean law degrees or three-year bachelor's equivalents may need a formal equivalency evaluation before your consulate appointment. Request this from a NACES-member evaluator as soon as you have a job offer, not after.
Clarify who files the LCA before accepting an offer
The employer must file and certify the LCA with DOL before your consulate appointment. Confirm during the offer stage that your employer's HR team or outside counsel is handling this, and ask for a realistic certification timeline.
Use the H-1B1 cap gap to your advantage
Unlike H-1B, H-1B1 Chile visas are issued for one year at a time. When negotiating your start date, account for consulate appointment availability and LCA certification time so your employer's timeline aligns with when you can legally begin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a paralegal role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Chile?
It depends on how the employer defines the position. Paralegals qualify when the role requires a bachelor's degree in legal studies, paralegal studies, or a closely related field as a minimum condition of employment. If the job description accepts any degree or just experience in lieu of a degree, USCIS and the consular officer may not treat it as a specialty occupation. Ask your employer to specify the degree requirement explicitly in the LCA job description.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa differ from H-1B for paralegals?
For paralegals, the H-1B1 Chile visa skips the lottery entirely and uses consulate processing rather than a USCIS petition, which typically runs faster. The trade-off is that H-1B1 is issued in one-year increments rather than three, so you'll renew more frequently. The 1,400 annual cap for Chilean nationals has not historically been reached, meaning qualified candidates face no selection risk.
How can I find paralegal employers who sponsor H-1B1 Chile visas?
Use Migrate Mate to search for paralegal jobs filtered by employers with documented H-1B1 Chile filing history. Most job postings don't specify visa type, so searching through a platform that cross-references DOL Labor Condition Application data gives you a direct signal of which law firms and legal departments have actually sponsored Chilean nationals before.
Can a paralegal on H-1B1 Chile work for multiple employers?
H-1B1 Chile status is employer-specific. You can work for a second employer only if that employer files a separate LCA and you obtain a new visa or amended status covering the concurrent employment. Informal arrangements across two employers without separate filings put both your status and the employers' compliance at risk under DOL rules.
What happens to my H-1B1 Chile status if my paralegal role changes significantly?
A material change in job duties, location, or salary can require a new LCA filing. If your employer promotes you to a supervisory paralegal role or moves you to a different office, they should notify their immigration counsel before the change takes effect. Filing an amended LCA keeps you in compliance and protects your ability to renew at the consulate without complications.
