ABOUT THE ROLE

At Britton and Time Solicitors, we’re a vibrant and dependable team of self-motivated and driven people who are looking to change how the local community accesses legal services.
We’re excited to welcome a Paralegal with a minimum of 1 year’s experience to join our dedicated and passionate team in the heart of Hove, East Sussex.

Your responsibilities will include speaking with clients both in-person and over the phone, taking new enquiries, booking appointments with solicitors, administering legal files, liaising with existing clients on their matters, conducting legal research, summarising case law, time recording, preparing client bills, and preparing legal documents.
There may also be further opportunities to be involved in cases from other legal areas as and when the need arises.
