Paralegal
Posted 16/08/2024 by Moore Barlow
Moore Barlow is currently seeking a committed and driven Paralegal to join our Personal Injury Team in Guildford. This position is a 12 month FTC and offers significant opportunities for personal and professional development, with training and guidance from our team of specialist serious injury lawyers.
We are different - although a Top UK Regional Law firm, we strive to be different. We give people the space and flexibility in where and how they work to deliver the best experience to our teams and clients alike. This means much more than just hybrid working – we are ambitious and seek to be recognised as the best regional law firm to work for.
Our approach is holistic, encompassing not only our client’s future financial, care, medical, and practical needs but also ensuring they have the appropriate emotional guidance and support. Our team are predominantly involved in complex and high-value cases involving:
- Adult brain injury
- Child brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Complex orthopaedic, including amputation.
- Fatal incidents, including inquest.
Day to Day:
Working on various matters led by one of our experienced Partners, you will:
- Provide support to several members of the team, including Partners and other senior fee-earners, allowing them to work at optimum efficiency
- Offer initial guidance and advice to new clients, and act as a point of contact and team liaison throughout the matter
- Take a leading role in the disclosure exercise of various matters, which can often be quite involved and protracted
- Collaborate closely with the team, sharing your insights and knowledge that will help to shape the direction of the matter, and outcomes for the client
- Attend client meetings, undertake research, and draft documentation relevant to a matter
What we look for:
Our Firm is built on the value of “Human First”, and because of that, we are looking to recruit those with a passion for delivering the best possible outcomes for their clients, and the drive to continuously learn and improve. We are ideally looking for:
- A Paralegal with prior experience working as part of a Personal Injury, Clinical Negligence, or Litigation Team, however, we encourage those with more or less experience to apply.
- Familiarity with time recording and being responsible for a small fee target would be ideal, but not essential.
- Engaging, empathetic, and friendly communication style, with the ability to interact confidently with clients (and their families) who are going through a very difficult time.
- Creative problem-solving skills; able to think outside of the box with a willingness to help others in the team.
If you feel that you have this experience, and are passionate about advancing your career in our Personal Injury Team, then we strongly encourage you to apply.
