The firm are recruiting a team of temporary Paralegals to work on a large, complex commercial dispute in their Birmingham office. Whilst this is initially a short role, 90% of the Paralegals we have placed at this firm have been extended and rolled onto other projects. Other temporary Paralegals at this firm have been made permanent, been offered Training Contracts at the firm, and even moved into Legal Project Management, so there's great scope for longer term development too

The successful Paralegals’ responsibilities include:


  • Trial preparation
  • Reviewing documents for relevance and legal privilege
  • Attending trial
  • Conducting legal research
  • Drafting memos to summarise research results


About you


  • The successful Paralegals will have stellar academics (2.1 and above from a well-respected university) and be educated to LLB/PGDL level, or equivalent
  • You need to have a willingness to learn and a genuine interest in commercial law
  • You will be available to work at short notice and have access to your own laptop


That’s it, that’s the list


Working pattern


  • 3 days in the office
  • 2 days from home


Pay


  • Hourly equivalent of £26,000 per annum


If you’re looking for your first role in a top, international law firm, don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity


As part of EJ Legal’s candidate registration and care process all successful applications are responded to within 14 working days.
