I’m working with a well-regarded regional law firm that’s looking to bring in two Paralegals to join their busy Litigation team. These are brand-new roles, created due to increased workload and ongoing growth, not replacements.
What stands out about this opportunity is the level of exposure you’ll get. It’s a genuinely hands-on role where you’ll be involved in a wide range of litigation matters, making it ideal for someone looking to build solid, practical experience early on in their legal career.
The role itself
You’ll be part of an established and fast-paced Litigation team, getting involved in a variety of tasks including:
- Liaising with clients, opposing solicitors, litigants in person, Court staff, and Counsel via phone and email
- Preparing bundles for hearings, trials, and mediations
- Drafting Court documents for both County Court and High Court proceedings
- Assisting fee earners with pleadings, applications, instructions to Counsel, and witness statements
- Undertaking legal research
- General file and diary management, including arranging calls and conferences
It’s a varied role where you won’t just be stuck doing admin, you’ll be actively contributing to cases and developing real legal skills.
Who this would suit
- Someone with prior legal work experience (paralegal, legal assistant, or similar)
- Someone organised, proactive, and able to manage their time well
- Strong communication skills and confidence dealing with different stakeholders
- A team player who’s also comfortable working independently
- Someone keen to learn and build a career in litigation
Why people like this firm
- Strong reputation and steady growth
- High-quality, hands-on litigation experience
- Supportive team environment
- Clear opportunities to develop and progress
- Competitive salary and benefits package
- A good platform for building a long-term legal career
This is a great option for someone at the early stages of their legal career who wants proper exposure to litigation work, rather than just a purely administrative role, and is looking to grow within a supportive and busy team.
