Corporate Commercial Paralegal

• Work one-to-one with a Corporate Director and gain proper exposure to commercial work
• 12 paid ‘Happy Hours’ each year – start later or finish earlier when life gets in the way
• Build a long-term legal career in a growing firm with hybrid working and a track record of promoting from within

If you’re looking for a Corporate Commercial Paralegal role that gives you more than admin, this is a chance to learn directly from an experienced Corporate Director while building your career in a firm with a strong track record of developing its own people.

You’ll support a broad range of corporate and commercial matters, including business transactions, commercial agreements and general corporate work. You’ll develop your technical knowledge, build relationships with clients and gradually take on greater responsibility as your experience grows.

And when the firm talks about progression and culture, there’s evidence behind it. Directors have built their careers here from trainee level, staff retention is excellent, and appraisals focus on where you want your career to go and the practical steps that will help you get there.

There’s also very little hierarchy. Junior and senior colleagues work closely together, teams regularly invite senior leaders to join them for lunch, and office days are designed around maintaining face-to-face relationships rather than presenteeism.

Who we’re looking for

• Paralegal experience (Essential)
• Corporate or commercial experience (Desirable)
• Relevant legal qualification (Desirable)
• Strong IT and audio typing skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• High attention to detail
• Strong organisation and time management skills
• Proactive, reliable and team-oriented approach
• Someone keen to learn, develop and build a long-term career

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting a Corporate Director across corporate and commercial matters
• Opening files and managing onboarding documentation
• Drafting and amending legal documents and correspondence
• Managing diaries, meetings and scheduling
• Liaising directly with clients by phone and in person
• Supporting billing, invoices and financial administration
• Maintaining file records and compliance
• Supporting the wider team where needed

Salary & Benefits

• £26,000–£28,000
• Hybrid working
• 12 paid ‘Happy Hours’ each year – take an hour to start later or finish earlier when you need it
• Set office days designed to keep colleagues connected and maintain strong working relationships
• Structured progression pathways with meaningful career-focused appraisals
• Strong track record of developing and promoting people internally
• Holiday purchase scheme
• Enhanced sick pay
• Wellbeing support
• Employee recognition scheme
• Excellent staff retention
• Friendly, low-ego culture where junior and senior colleagues mix naturally
• Long-term career development within a growing firm

This is a team where junior lawyers are already gaining external recognition for the quality of their work, and where development isn’t something that gets discussed once a year and forgotten. If you want somewhere you can learn from experienced lawyers, build your profile and see a genuine future ahead of you, there’s plenty of scope to do exactly that.
