The Firm

This L500-ranked City firm is known for high-quality work delivered in a genuinely collaborative environment. The banking and finance team is growing, offering a setting where paralegals work closely with senior lawyers, gain real exposure to sophisticated transactions, and develop at pace within a supportive, well-structured practice.

The role goes beyond administrative support, giving you meaningful involvement and visibility across active deals.

Why This Role?

Early responsibility on live transactions, not just back-office support. Direct client and lender interaction, building commercial confidence quickly. Clear progression, with close supervision and opportunities to advance. Collaborative culture, where your contribution is recognised. Respected L500 platform, strengthening your long-term career trajectory.

The Candidate & Benefits

You bring at least one year of secured lending experience, strong organisational skills and a keen eye for detail. Confident communication and a proactive, team-focused approach are essential.

• Competitive City salary and benefits, with structured development and the opportunity to grow within a well-regarded finance practice.
