Social network you want to login/join with:
Established in 2000, Express Solicitors is an award-winning law firm that deals with personal injury and clinical negligence claims. Based in Manchester, we serve clients nationwide and are currently ranked 70 out of more than 10,000 law firms. We have a 5-star rating on Trustpilot from over 7,000 reviews, which coming from our clients means a lot to us. We are proud of the work we do helping injured people, and this is the core of our business.
Our Graduate Scheme has been awarded the Princess Royal Training Award. This award recognises our exceptional commitment to learning and development and its positive impact on the organisation and people. We now also offer training from the incredible Matthew Fowler for developing a growth mindset, psychological resilience and emotional intelligence. Giving you the skills to be the best version of yourself in law.
We set you up to succeed:
The focus of our award-winning Graduate Scheme is to provide you with a solid foundation to launch your legal career. You start with 5 weeks of initial training, which is everything from black letter law all the way through to support during initial tasks (witness statements, claim form drafting) and communicating with clients.
Once you are in the department, the support doesn't stop; you have a weekly supervisor meeting, which is there for you to lead on work and ask questions you want guidance on. You also have a Buddy in the department to help you too.
We are so proud of the progression at Express Solicitors, we wanted to share the success by numbers:
100% of our Trainee Solicitors came from our Graduate Scheme.
The average time from the Graduate Scheme to SQE/TC is within 6 – 15 months of starting with Express Solicitors.
We work hard and play hard:
Law has always been seen as a challenging profession. Express Solicitors expect you to work hard for our clients. But we also love to have fun, with regular department socials, yearly Christmas parties (paid for by the business) and every other year a Summer social at the CEO's house paid for by James, himself.
We also have lots of other regular activities, with weekly football and netball games, a running club and a board game night.
About The Role:
For your first five weeks at Express Solicitors, you will be in our training suite, where we offer bespoke training on black letter law, soft skills and case management. After this solid foundation, you will move to your designated department, where the real work begins, applying your skills as a Litigation Assistant.
You will assist an existing fee earner on their case load, getting involved directly with legal tasks and liaising with clients.
What we offer you:
- 14 weeks of tailored training to ensure you're a successful Paralegal.
- Three appraisals per year and weekly meetings with your supervisor to guide you.
- Salary – £26,000 per annum.
- Hours – 8:30 am – 5:30 pm Monday – Thursday with a 5 pm finish on Friday (39.5 hours.)
- Hybrid Working – 3/2 hybrid working pattern after probation.
- 23 Days Holiday – Rising to 26 days, plus bank/public holidays.
- Extra Holidays – 3 holiday buy backs and an extra day for your birthday after service length requirement.
- Looking After Your Health – Private medical insurance available after 2 years' service, annual flu jab and Employee Assistance Programme.
