Recruitment Paralegal Position  - Dispute Resolution

Paralegal with 2 – 3 years experience, primarily dealing with contract disputes of a variety of types, land disputes, inheritance disputes.

We have two positions available, one based at our head office in Beaconsfield and the other at our new branch office in Farnham Common.

This is a relatively new position within the Firm, although it is replacing our part time secretary who is leaving us as her husband has relocated to Kent.  In considering her replacement we were aware that there might not be enough work for a full time secretary in Conveyancing and as our Civil Litigation & Employment teams require secretarial support it was felt this would make up the time.  Additional experience within Wills, Probate would be an advantage.

We are looking for the following skills:-

1. Excellent audio typing speeds.
2. Experience in preparation of legal documents: contracts, transfers, searches, Land Registry application forms etc., use of Laserform: online search and HIPs providers, HIPs preparation.
3. Excellent communication skills in dealing with clients and other internal members of staff, as one of the tasks in working within the secretarial team will be to cover for reception on a rota basis.
4. Adaptable, proactive approach to work
5. High work ethic with an enthusiastic and friendly attitude.

Salary is negotiable depending on experience.  There is an annual appraisal and review.   Our office hours are 9.00 – 5.30 pm Monday – Friday.  22 days holiday per year, increasing one day each year after one year’s continuous employment to a maximum of 25.  Two of the days are at the moment allocated to the Christmas period but that is more than likely going to change.  The office does not close during Christmas and New Year, although only skeleton staff required during the period.

There are no parking facilities for staff, but there is plenty of free parking along the London End/A40 main street and plenty of further parking in side streets as there is no restricted parking. 

Primarily working within the Family Department, experience in Wills, Probate and Conveyancing would also be an advantage.  Being able to work on your own is extremely important as you will be the only secretary / admin person based at this office. 

We are looking for the following skills:-
