This role would suit an experienced paralegal, law graduate or someone at the beginning of their legal career, including candidates with no previous experience in law, who are keen to learn and develop within a supportive team.
In this role you will provide essential support to the fee earners in the team, to ensure all of our clients are provided with an outstanding service, by understanding their needs and delivering this in a cost effective manner, dealing with a range of property litigation matters. You will be involved in a varied workload and gain hands‑on exposure to property litigation matters, with training and guidance provided throughout.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience in a busy litigation environment and build or develop a strong foundation for a career in law.
