As a Paralegal in our team, you will work on a wide variety of matters, supporting numerous colleagues across the team under the supervision and leadership of one of our highly experienced lawyers.

In addition, you will:

  • Collaborate closely with colleagues of all seniorities in the team, working towards achieving the best possible outcome for our clients and their families.
  • Offer guidance and advice to clients, and act as a point of contact and team liaison throughout the progress of the matter.
  • Support clients through the complex legal processes associated with their matter, ensuring their best interests are considered at all times.
  • Support with the billing process, ensuring accuracy and strong financial hygiene at all times.
