Job description

We are working with a leading financial services organisation that is looking to appoint an experienced Litigation Paralegal to support its EMEA Litigation team on an interim basis.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in commercial litigation, disputes or regulatory investigations who would enjoy working in a busy in-house legal environment, gaining exposure to a broad range of contentious matters and working closely with experienced legal counsel.

The position sits within an established litigation team and will involve supporting senior lawyers across disputes, regulatory matters, investigations, escalated complaints and small claims. The work is varied, and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to become closely involved in the day-to-day management and progression of matters rather than focusing solely on document review or administrative support.

You’ll be responsible for helping manage incoming litigation queries, coordinating the collection and review of relevant documentation, monitoring key deadlines and ensuring matters progress efficiently. You’ll also liaise with external counsel, assist with preparing and reviewing correspondence and pleadings, and support the team with reporting, budgeting and matter management.

The organisation uses Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker, so previous experience with legal matter management systems would be useful, although this is not essential.

Depending on your experience, there may also be opportunities to take greater ownership of certain matters, including small claims and Section 75 Consumer Credit Act claims, with appropriate support from the legal team.

We’re particularly interested in hearing from paralegals who have gained experience within a litigation or disputes team, whether in private practice or in-house. Experience of commercial litigation, financial services disputes, regulatory investigations or claims handling would be especially relevant.

You’ll need to be highly organised, comfortable managing competing deadlines and confident communicating with lawyers, external advisers and internal stakeholders. The team is looking for someone proactive, reliable and willing to take responsibility for their work in a fast-paced environment.

The assignment is expected to start as soon as possible and run until May 2027, on a full-time basis. The working arrangement is hybrid, with three days per week in the London office.

If you’re an experienced Litigation Paralegal who is immediately available or coming to the end of an existing assignment, we’d be very interested in hearing from you.
