Dispute Resolution Paralegal

I’m currently working with a well-established and supportive firm in Surrey, who are looking for a Dispute Resolution Paralegal to join their team.

It’s a varied, hands-on role supporting fee earners throughout a matter, from research and correspondence through to preparing for hearings and trial. It would suit someone with previous Litigation experience as a paralegal or legal assistant in a law firm.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting with disclosure, document review and organising evidence
• Preparing trial bundles and hearing folders
• Drafting letters, simple pleadings, witness statements and instructions to counsel
• Putting together case summaries and chronologies
• Legal research on case law, statute and the Civil Procedure Rules
• Attending client meetings and taking notes, handling calls and managing diaries
• Audio and copy typing
• Working with the business support team on file opening and closing
• Recording time accurately and working towards billable targets
• Supporting other paralegals and assistants within the team and across the firm

What they’re looking for

• Previous experience as a paralegal or legal assistant in a law firm
• Strong organisation and attention to detail
• Confident written and verbal communication
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office
• The ability to juggle priorities and meet deadlines under pressure
• Discretion with confidential information
• A positive attitude and a team-focused approach

Training is provided where needed, and you’ll be encouraged to take ownership of your own development.
