Description

PARALEGAL / LEGAL EXECUTIVE
CORPORATE/COMMERCIAL/EMPLOYMENT
BASINGSTOKE
FULL TIME, PERMANENT


My client are an extremely well established full service solicitors firm based in the city centre of Basingstoke. Located conveniently close to all public transport links and city centre amenities, this city centre firm are currently expanding and developing!

I am seeking an experienced Paralegal or Legal Executive to join this firm on a full time, permanent basis. This role is a complex position as it is based across two departments within the firm - but it does offer the right candidate an excellent opportunity to gain exposure to high quality work and experienced professionals. A developmental role which will absolutely grow and challenge the successful Paralegal!

Based predominately within the Corporate and Commercial team, the Paralegal will need to have experience and knowledge within these areas. Furthermore, the successful Paralegal will be required to undertake work within the Employment team assisting the Partner.

Due to the complexity of this role, candidates MUST have experience within 2 of the 3 areas mentioned above (Employment, Corporate or Commercial) and the desire and ability to work across all 3.

The Paralegal will be responsible for:
- Assisting Partners and Associates with their case-files
- Providing a full, comprehensive administrative service to both departments when required
- Undertaking lower level duties and tasks such as drafting, correspondence, document submission and research
- Providing the highest level of client care
- Working closely with experienced professionals and assisting when abilities allow

To be successful in this role, all applicants must have a minimum of a years experience within a Paralegal position and be able to demonstrate their ability within such role. Unfortunately, due to the level of work required to be undertaken by the Paralegal, Legal Assistants and Legal Support Staff will not be considered for this role.

Organised, thorough and a flexible and adaptable attitude to work are all requirements to be successful for this role. Moving around departments and assisting different professionals will require the Paralegal to manage their time and workload effectively; prioritising and organising.

If you are seeking a new challenging role which will provide you career development, stability and excellent working base and you possess the necessary skills and experience, please apply below! Alternatively, please contact Charlotte Prentice at Russell Allen Recruitment for more information.
