  • Attend trials and hearings alongside Counsel
  • Engage in settlement negotiations and alternative dispute resolution
  • Support senior team members across a wide range of legal tasks
  • Manage case logistics, maintain accurate records, and perform administrative tasks

What You’ll Need

  • Law degree (LLB or MSc)
  • Proven experience in a Paralegal role
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise under pressure
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • High attention to detail, especially when handling large volumes of data
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word and Excel)
  • Friendly, confident personality and a collaborative mindset
  • Desirable (but not essential):
  • At least one year’s experience as a Paralegal
  • Experience in file handling and legal caseload management
  • Familiarity with financial mis-selling claims
