An excellent opportunity has arisen at a mid-sized law firm for a Paralegal.
The Paralegal will sit within the litigation and disputes group and will join a talented team of 2 partners, and 3 associates. The team work on high profile multi million pound matters on behalf of well-known clients. On the whole hours will be fairly standard, however in the lead up to trial there may be some longer hours required to meet deadlines.
The role is mainly Paralegal work, including document review and disclosure, legal research and preparing bundles and as there is no trainee in the team, tasks may also encompass those usually undertaken by a trainee. Alongside this there may be some PA type duties, including typing correspondence, diary management and billing.
Applications are welcome from Paralegal candidates who have excellent academics, for example A’S and B’s at A-Level and a 2.1. The LPC would be a bonus, but not essential for the role. Commercial Litigation experience is key, ideally gained from a top city firm, for example a magic or silver circle firm. The firm has taken on a high proportion of it's paralegals as trainees so would suit either someone seeking a training contract or it may suit a future trainee seeking an interesting role with good hours before starting their training contract.
The Paralegal role is initially 6 months, to then be extended to 12 or become permanent depending on the situation of the successful candidate.
