Description

Are you interested in gaining experience of working at a Top 50 UK law firm?

Do you have a law degree or GDL, or are you currently studying your LPC?

Would you like to work flexibly around your studies, or other commitments?

If so read on ...

We are looking for talented people to join Burges Salmon Flex as a paralegal to support the firm in large project delivery. Projects could run from periods of just a few weeks to several months. Many of our previous project paralegals have returned to complete further projects.

Work can be varied, but many of our projects include document review so we are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with experience in this area. During each project you will have the opportunity to work closely with our lawyers and will be given full training and supervision.

Who are we looking for?

We are ideally looking for candidates who have completed an undergraduate law degree (or GDL), or are currently studying for a post-graduate legal qualification e.g. GDL or LPC. Although previous paralegal experience would be beneficial, it is not essential. You will need to demonstrate excellent attention to detail and an ability to produce high-quality work under tight deadlines. Our project paralegals work closely with each other, and lawyers from across the firm, so being a team player is essential.

What can we offer?

In addition to a competitive salary we can offer flexible working arrangements, on a part, or full time basis, that mean you can work around your study, or other commitments. Projects vary in length, so we can offer both temporary and longer term positions.

We offer the opportunity to work on high profile legal work under the supervision of experienced lawyers and valuable experience from a Top 50 firm that will enhance your CV and future career prospects. Many of our project paralegals have gone on to secure permanent roles at the firm.

As a firm we really do put our culture and values at the core of everything we do: from 'I'm a Partner, get me out of here' to 'Strictly Legal' (our very own Strictly Come Dancing competition), the Burges Salmon charity carnival and genuinely worthwhile volunteering activities. We have been named 'Happiest Workplace" by Laughology, and awarded "Law Firm of the Year" for the third year running by RollOnFriday we promise it's a firm and a work life like no other.
