Paralegal

It's no secret that we're an ambitious firm and our vision and our culture truly reflects that. At the heart of this is an outstanding client experience, something that Womble Bond Dickinson prides itself on, and it's something that we've become so well known for. The Legal Solutions Centre (LSC) is an essential part of our business made up of over 70 paralegals, lawyers, project managers, data analysts and client co-ordinators.

They use flexible resourcing and time-saving technology to deliver a high-quality, cost-effective service for a range of large scale projects.

Our dedicated Paralegal Team are now on the lookout for a Paralegal to join their Litigation Support & Commercial Projects Team (or as we call it, LSC Pro) in our Bristol or Plymouth office.

This team specialise predominately in disclosure tasks using the latest legal technology and AI. You'd work on range of matters including dealing with strategic resolution of litigated consumer claims brought against our clients. The team are also regularly engaged to conduct a first line review of documents for other purposes.

You may have just completed your legal studies, or already be working as a Paralegal, or in a non-legal role with relevant experience. What's really important to us is the great skills you're going to be able to bring with you. Once you have completed your initial training to undertake relevant tasks supported by one of the 8 lawyers embedded within the sub-team, this is a role that requires an ability to take responsibility for performing the tasks set, so you'll need to be proactive, motivated and able to manage your workload effectively.

You'll also be highly organised, efficient and able to prioritise effectively as we often work to tight and urgent deadlines. As this is a client facing role, you'll be expected to build and maintain strong relationships, recognising what matters most to our clients and offering them practical, commercial solutions. Whether you've built these skills in legal or non-legal roles in a completely different sector, we'd love to hear from you.
