You’ll work across dispute resolution, criminal law, miscarriages of justice, and prison law, gaining hands-on experience with complex, high-profile cases that genuinely change lives. From civil disputes to criminal appeals at the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, this role offers a rare breadth of work you won’t find elsewhere.

• Prison Law:
• – Advising prisoners on categorisation, parole, and disciplinary proceedings
• – Attending prison visits and taking detailed client instructions
• – Preparing representations to the Parole Board and other bodies

Across all areas, you’ll be meeting clients and witnesses, preparing casework, undertaking legal research and drafting, assisting with hearings and conferences with counsel, and managing substantial volumes of case material.

• Strong legal research, drafting, and communication skills
• Resilience, drive, and genuine commitment to meaningful legal work
• Ability to analyse and manage complex, voluminous material
• Based in South or West Yorkshire (or with strong ties to the area)
• Willingness to travel nationally for client and prison visits
• Flexibility for occasional out-of-hours work

We actively invest in paralegals who demonstrate commitment, skill, and potential.

• Meaningful, high-profile cases that make a real difference to people’s lives
• A firm investing in AI, innovation, and modern practice
• Genuine qualification pathways and career development
