Job description

Overview

Private Client Paralegal
Location: Portsmouth
Salary: £30,000 - £35,000 per annum

What’s in it for you?

• A competitive salary (actual money, not “experience”)
• Great benefits and a friendly, down-to-earth team that genuinely cares about their people
• The chance to be part of a firm that's been around for generations but isn't stuck in the past
• Real opportunities to grow your career and take on responsibility in a supportive environment

About You

• At least 12 months' experience in Private Client (Wills, Probate, LPAs, Trusts - the usual suspects)
• Happy handling your own files with supervision available when you need it
• Organised enough to keep your cases running smoothly (bonus if your sock drawer is equally neat)
• Strong people skills — because clients want empathy as much as legal expertise
• Calm under pressure and able to juggle deadlines without losing your cool (or your sense of humour)

What You'll Be Doing

• Drafting Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Probate applications
• Guiding clients with empathy and clear explanations (no Latin required)
• Managing files from start to finish while keeping everything compliant
• Working alongside solicitors and colleagues who will share knowledge (and the biscuit tin)
• Becoming part of a firm that's as well-known for supporting its community as it is for supporting its staff

If you're looking to join a respected, and genuinely welcoming firm where your work makes a real difference (and your birthday will never be forgotten), we'd love to hear from you.
