Job Description

We are a well-established law firm, having been founded in 1951 serving a wide range of private clients across surrounding counties in England as well as abroad. Many of our clients are long standing and we pride ourselves on the quality service we provide them with.

Our private client team has grown significantly in recent years, both in the volume of work we are receiving as well as our approach as a department. We support and advise clients on a comprehensive range of personal matters including but not limited to: estate planning, Wills, Tax, trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection matters. Our staff are dedicated to assisting our clients through what is often a difficult time in their lives and strive to support them when making essential personal decisions, with a professional yet compassionate approach.

As a paralegal/legal assistant working within the private client team, you will be supporting a partner with a wide variety of private client matters, whose case load quite often involves high net worth transactions.

You will be encouraged to familiarise yourself with the handling of a file from start to finish, which will involve drafting documentation, conducting extensive legal research and managing deadlines.

You should be a candidate who is passionate about the law, ideally with an academic background or a genuine interest and talent for a career within the legal industry. You will be dedicated to providing an outstanding service to clients and will take the initiative to develop your legal knowledge and understanding of the law in practice.
