Job description

A leading Legal 500 are looking for a Contentious Probate Paralegal to join their successful, and growing team in West Yorkshire.
This opportunity would suit someone from either a contentious probate, litigation or private client background due to the need to be comfortable with court processes/procedures, and the emotional sensitivity needed for contentious probate.

Training will be provided from the team (at present, a team of 3), so you don't need to have years of experience under your belt, just a willingness to learn, an open mind and at least 12 months in either contentious probate, litigation or private client.

The contentious probate team has been a huge success so far for the firm so there is real stability here for whoever joins.

For that all-important work-life balance, hybrid working is offered, though office attendance is encouraged in the first instance for this role for the purpose of learning the practice area and getting to know the team.

From a salary perspective, whilst it depends on experience and someone's background, you can expect the region of £25,000 - £30,000.
