Your firm
This role is a rare opportunity to work as a Paralegal for a leading international law firm across a broad range of areas. As a Matter Support paralegal based in their hybrid Bristol office, you will be part of a central team providing support to a range of legal teams alongside other paralegals and apprentices. You will have the opportunity to work with talented lawyers and a wide range of clients in a fast-paced environment. Over time, you will gain exposure to a range of work types, primarily in the firm's insurance practice.

Your new role Once you have gained the necessary experience and skills, you will have the opportunity to work within legal teams on an informal internal placement basis. Subject to business need, these placements are usually 10 months long, with direct associate supervision, giving you a broad paralegal experience and providing the opportunity to build relationships with people across the whole office.
The Matter Support team offers experience in a range of practice areas, with work coming from various legal teams including Professional and Financial Risks, Construction, Cyber, and Employment. Most of the teams' work is supporting insurance teams, usually with matters that involve defending professionals (such as architects, financial advisors, and solicitors) alongside their professional indemnity insurers in the event of a claim, meaning an interest in civil litigation is a must.
You will receive bespoke training with an induction built around regular tasks the team complete. You will also have access to a broad curriculum of firm wide training events, and a buddy to help you settle in. This role also offers the opportunity to train and mentor apprentices and new starters to the team once you've mastered elements of the role and are ready to share your knowledge.
The firm are supportive of qualification through alternative routes and have a funding policy in place to support with the costs for SQE2, Equivalent Means and CILEx. This role offers the opportunity for quality qualifying work experience and the firm has seen paralegals successfully qualify via these routes.

What you'll need to succeed

• A law degree, GDL or equivalent, ideally with paralegal experience or experience in a similar type of role.
• Excellent communication skills, both orally and in writing
• Good attention to detail with excellent organisational skills and the ability to adapt to shifting priorities and adapt plans accordingly.
• Hardworking, enthusiastic and motivated
• Able to build internal relationships to understand expertise across the firm and to deliver excellent client service.

What you'll get in return
With both flexible and hybrid working options available, this is a great opportunity that would suit Paralegals who are already based in the Southwest, or who are looking to move to the region in the near future.
