THE ROLE

We have an exciting opportunity to recruit a talented Paralegal Apprentice to join our Residential Development team in Birmingham. This is an excellent opportunity to gain some hands-on legal experience alongside a team of highly regarded professionals, and to work with some large commercial clients.
The successful candidate will study towards the Level 3 Paralegal Apprenticeship standard with The University of Law. Applicants must not have a qualification in a similar subject at the same level or above. This position is a 2-year fixed term contract solely based in our Residential Development Plots Hub team.
We will provide full training and support for these positions, including allocating dedicated supervisors and buddies to you.

The role will develop with training and experience, but we expect Paralegal Apprentices to be involved with assisting fee earners in some of the below aspects:

• Managing data and records;
• Reviewing and preparing documents;
• Collating completion papers;
• Drafting forms and legal documentation;
• Communicating orally and in writing with a variety of recipients; and
• Providing support to Plot Conveyancers and fee earners
