Bristol, United Kingdom VWV Full time

Paralegal

Our established team of contentious trusts and probate solicitors know that legal insight works hand in hand with sensitivity and understanding. They are recognised contentious trusts and probate experts in a wide variety of claims, offering first class legal advice across a range of disputes arising out of Wills and Estates.

Partner, and Head of the Private Client Department, and Partner are looking to recruit a Paralegal to join Fiona's team in Bristol.

Is This Your Next Career Move?

A paralegal role at VWV provides the perfect building blocks for future trainee solicitors looking to gain experience ahead of starting a training contract, or even to assist with applications for training contracts themselves, and that's due to the variety of legal disciplines you'll be exposed to. We're proud of our record in transitioning a good proportion of our existing paralegals into trainee solicitors.

In this role you'll be invaluable by taking ownership of the legal administration tasks to allow our lawyers to focus on business generation. You'll assist fee earners in delivering advice on contentious trusts and probate matters and contribute to the day-to-day management of files. You'll become familiar with the firm's compliance procedures for letters of engagement, file opening, money laundering, archiving, billing and client accounts. And you'll get to brush up on those all-important client facing skills as you play a key part in gathering relevant information from clients to assist the lawyers with their enquiries. 

If you have an interest in Private Client law, particularly litigation, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Who Are We Hoping Will Apply?

You'll have a legal qualification, ideally with the LPC already completed. Previous legal experience will undoubtedly help you to transition into the role more easily, particularly in litigation. But those all-important soft skills as just as desirable.

It's a busy role so you'll be highly organised, an excellent all-round communicator with proficient IT skills using Microsoft Office, someone who's motivated by the team's successes ahead of their own and your calm, professional phone manner will be a fantastic first impression for our private clients.

Confidence is key, as well as your ability to adapt and manage spinning plates efficiency. You enjoy taking initiative and happy to seek out work during the quieter periods throughout the peaks and troughs.

Where Will I Be Working? 

At VWV we have a truly unique and engaging culture that we hold dear. We work hard but we also love to have fun and we recognise that it's the social interaction between us that really embeds our culture. Whilst this unusual time has proved we can work effectively as a business from home, we're currently working to a hybrid model of office and home working. We have a "grown-up" working culture and try to be flexible and agile in the way we work. The Private Client department are predominately office based, therefore the expectation is that you will be based in Bristol Monday to Friday.

Why Choose Us?

There are so many reasons to stop and explore VWV further. We're known for our friendly and welcoming culture where teamwork and collaboration are key.
