Project Development & Finance Paralegal

A prestigious US law firm is seeking a Paralegal to join their Project Development & Finance team on an initial 6-month fixed-term contract, with strong potential for extension.

This newly created role involves supporting a team of 2 Partners, 14 Associates, and 1 Trainee. Responsibilities include preparing, reviewing, and managing legal documents and processes related to high-profile financial transactions and project developments. The team also collaborates cross-border with teams in other countries, therefore making this a unique opportunity to work on international matters.

The ideal candidate will have prior Paralegal experience, preferably within a similar finance team, and be enthusiastic, dynamic, and possess a growth mindset. Candidates with a confirmed Training Contract are also of interest, provided they have a minimum of 12 months' availability.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an elite US law firm, providing sole Paralegal support to a collaborative team and gaining exposure to a variety of high-profile transactions.

The firm operates a hybrid working model (3 days in the office and 2 from home), but flexibility is required. Overtime will also be expected, so candidates must be prepared to work longer hours when necessary.

The role will commence ASAP, with interviews taking place the week of January 13th. If you are interested, please apply now for consideration!

Due to the high volume of applications, we are not able to respond to all enquiries. If you have not received a response within 72 hours, please assume you have not been shortlisted at this stage, however thank you for taking the time to apply.
