Job description
Paralegal Wanted — part legal eagle, part admin ninja, part calm-in-the-chaos.
We’re not asking for silk status or courtroom drama — we’re after a sharp, organised, proactive Paralegal who knows how to get stuff done and keep it tidy (legally and literally).
If you’ve got a good grasp of legal procedures, know the value of well-drafted documents, and can juggle client files without dropping the ball (or losing the will to live), keep reading.
What you’ll actually be doing (yes, beyond “legal support”):
Drafting documents that are clear, correct, and not 42 pages longer than they need to be.
Supporting solicitors on case prep, filings, research, and the all-important “can you just check this?” moments.
Keeping case management systems up to date (because no one wants to chase down missing info mid-trial).
Talking to clients like a human — not a robot reading a clause from 2003.
Staying on top of deadlines, paperwork, and processes — because one missed date can mess up a lot.
Handling confidential information with care (and no, we don’t mean locking it in a desk and forgetting about it).
Pitching in where needed. We’re a team, not a hierarchy of finger-pointers.
What we’re looking for:
Some solid paralegal experience under your belt (or a recent law grad with grit and common sense).
Familiarity with legal admin, procedures, and client care — ideally within a firm, not just coursework.
Excellent written English — you don’t need to sound like Shakespeare, but clarity and accuracy are non-negotiable.
A methodical mindset. You enjoy ticking off a list, colour-coding a file, or quietly fixing other people’s formatting.
Strong communication skills, empathy, and the ability to manage more than one thing at once without melting.
Bonus points if you've worked in property, litigation, family or private client — but not a dealbreaker.
What you might not love:
It’s not suits-and-briefcases glamorous. It's solid, often detailed, sometimes fiddly legal work.
Some of the admin tasks are repetitive — but also essential. Accuracy matters.
Clients don’t always arrive calm and organised. You’ll need patience, empathy, and the odd deep breath.
No two days are the same — which is great, unless you’re someone who hates surprises.
What you will get:
A full-time, permanent role in a down-to-earth legal team that gets on with the job (and each other).
Real responsibility, not endless photocopying. You’ll be trusted — and supported.
A say in how things are done. Ideas welcome. Micro-managing not included.
Experience that counts — and room to grow if you want to take it further.
So, if you’re looking for a paralegal role where you’ll actually matter — not just hold a clipboard — we’d love to hear from you.
Apply now, and let’s talk law.
