An award-winning law firm have an exciting Paralegal opportunity on a long term contract basis, supporting a new fee earner within a key area in their Dispute Resolution team.  This fast paced, busy role will provide you with an exciting chance to learn and progress your knowledge and experience whilst at the same time providing a solid, organisational support function through taking on various fee-generating and paralegal duties.

I am very interesting in speaking with proactive candidates who have experience working as a Paralegal or Legal Assistant, and who have solid IT skills across MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).  If you have a legal qualification (such as a Degree) that would be attractive, as would knowledge of legal database certifications (such as LexisNexis or PLC) and experience working in legal departments such as construction or litigation (but other legal teams are fine).
Salary for this Paralegal opportunity is £26,000 to £28,000 (depending on level of experience).

Please note this is a 12 month fixed term contract opportunity. 

Benefits include: Hybrid working, free parking close by, reduced hours over Christmas, and more!
If you would like to travel by train the offices are a short walk from the nearest train station.  If you are driving, there is a car park opposite (where you will need to pay), or free parking on-street 10 minutes walk away
