We are seeking a motivated Paralegal to join our vibrant and growing team in London.
The role will include legal research and drafting of documents, as well as the normal file and document management work for a Paralegal position.

About FZ

- Previous experience as a Paralegal or in a similar legal support role.
- A genuine interest in law and the legal principles at the heart of any dispute or drafting request.
