Disputes Paralegal

Launched in 2010, our well-established, high performing and busy Transaction Services Team (TST) help Addleshaw Goddard deliver a world class service to its clients. We were the first team of its kind in the UK, and continue to innovate by delivering work in the most efficient way, saving our clients time and money. We are now one of the Firm's biggest groups, with our team being made up of apprentices, paralegals, managers and solicitors.

What You'll Do:

• The work that comes into the TST is varied. Each member of TST is assigned to one of the group aligned sub teams. Whilst predominantly carrying out work for your sub team (Disputes), you may also be asked to work on a variety of assignments from across all of the Firm's groups, which gives you a good insight into the workings of a commercial law firm. The specific Disputes assignments you will be working on can include the following:

• document review, including e-disclosure, to assess the relevance of a wide range of documentation as part of a litigation case including:

• as part of early case assessment

• pre-litigation document reviews

• large scale document reviews on e-disclosure platforms on litigated matters

• reviewing and redacting documents in response to Subject Access Requests under the GDPR legislation

• drafting and producing legal documentation and standard forms

• drafting court forms and issuing court proceedings

Who We're Looking For:

• Due to the dynamic nature of the work we do and the clients we seek to serve, the role is not an ordinary "9-5" job. For the right person, this role provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to our proven success by utilising a wide set of skills essential to a career in the TST.

• Any successful applicant will need the following skills and competencies:

• a high level of attention to detail

• effective personal, organisational and time management skills, and the ability to juggle multiple demands

• strong written and verbal communication skills, demonstrating an ability to communicate with colleagues at all levels

• a positive, enthusiastic and proactive approach to work
