Why join Nelsons?

We look to empower our clients, to give them a voice, fight for them, help them seek justice and steer them through complex legal issues they face. The desire to push ourselves forwards to better serve our clients has been a constant throughout our evolution.
The Role
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Paralegal to join the Dispute Resolution team at our Derby office.

The role will allow you gain experience and support the team in a wide range of commercial disputes and deal with a large number of professional negligence claims.

Client care is paramount in this role along with excellent administration and organisational skills. We are looking for individuals who are able to work as part of a team and who are comfortable following processes and procedures to established deadlines. Previous experience or knowledge of pre-action protocols and claims against solicitors would be desirable but not essential as training will be provided.
