Full job description

Bindmans LLP is a successful London law firm, with a reputation for excellence and being at the cutting edge of legal developments.

Bindmans continues to be ranked by Chambers UK and The Legal 500 as one of the top firms in London and the UK for its specialist areas. We are known for achieving excellent results for clients, often in ground-breaking areas of law. We advise many different types of clients with many different legal issues. We pride ourselves on always providing the best possible service, tailored to the needs of each individual client.

We are seeking to recruit a Paralegal to join our Criminal Law team to provide general support to the fee earners in the department. The experience gained in this role will constitute “Qualifying Work Experience” for those qualifying through the SQE route and there is likely to be an opportunity to progress to a Training Contract for those qualifying through the LPC route after 12 months.

OVERVIEW OF KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

The role will consist of assisting fee earners with case preparation including legal research, interviewing witnesses and drafting statements, processing evidence, preparing, collating and ordering documentation, applying for legal aid funding, attending clients in prison, attending conferences and court, keeping up to speed with legal and funding developments, taking new enquiries. Paralegals in the team will work under the close supervision of senior fee earners.

SKILLS/KNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS

Essential:

  • Good legal experience, qualifications and knowledge of criminal and human rights law are essential;
  • Successful completion of BVC/LPC and previous paralegal experience in criminal law and human rights are highly desirable as well as a proven track record of administrative and case management skills within an office environment. Accredited by LAA to undertake Police Station work would be an advantage. We will look at applicants who are able to demonstrate experience in administration of multi handed cases and the ability to manage and delegate tasks, as well as excellent IT skills to supplement these skills.

Contract terms will depend on the ability and experience of candidates and volume of work.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AND DIVERSITY
