Job Summary What you'll do We are currently seeking an experienced Paralegal or law graduate to join our growing Property Litigation team in our Exeter office on a full time and permanent basis. In this role you will provide essential support to the fee earners in the team, to ensure all of our clients are provided with an outstanding service, by understanding their needs and delivering this in a cost effective manner, dealing with a range of property litigation matters. You will be fully involved in all aspects of litigation, including the preparation of Court papers, preparing correspondence that is generated as a matter progresses and speaking to clients and third parties by telephone. You can expect to provide complete management of files, taking instructions from senior members of the team and clients, whilst taking instructions to ensure that procedures are effectively handled.
Who you are As an experienced paralegal working in a litigious area of law, or as a law graduate with experience in an office based environment, you'll be self-motivated, independent and eager to learn. With a clear dedication to a career in Law, you will be known for being self-motivated, a good communicator and eager to learn. A strong team player, we will expect you to work proactively with colleagues to provide them with all the support they need in order to deliver great results for our clients. You will readily understand and relate to clients' needs and be able to cope with pressures associated with handling multiple caseloads. We will need you to be a quick learner, and have excellent IT skills, being meticulous and thorough in order to deliver high quality work. Our relationships with our clients are paramount. You will be able to demonstrate your ability to build strong and lasting relationships with clients and show a genuine commitment to their business needs. Being self-motivated and ambitious, you will be keen to learn more about the sector. In return, as well as supporting your professional development through regular training, we will help you to grow your professional networks both internally and externally, providing an excellent foundation to go on and qualify as a lawyer with the firm, which many of our paralegals have done previously.
Why join Team Ashfords? Ask our people, and they will tell you that they genuinely enjoy coming to work and spending time with their colleagues. We’re confident that once you discover our open and friendly culture, it won’t take long for you to feel the same. We have a genuine team approach at Ashfords because we know that when talented people work together, we achieve more for our clients and each other. We also recognise that each of our career journeys is unique. So, we will be ambitious for you and give you the support you need to develop your career, your way. Importantly, we will give you the space and flexibility for your life outside work too. Our goal? To help you realise your full potential as part of a forward-thinking team and business. That’s what sets us apart.
Our offer We offer a range of benefits to support you at work and at home. This includes a flexible working framework, extra annual leave for your birthday and the option to buy more holiday. We have a comprehensive package to support physical and mental health, healthcare plans, an Employee Assistance programme and free access to the Calm mindfulness app. You’ll also have the chance to get involved in our responsible business programme, including taking part in fundraising initiatives and bringing your energy to our environment or diversity groups.
