Finance 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 divisions, with our team being made up of apprentices, paralegals, managers and solicitors.

Our team members focus on tasks that are found in a wide variety of legal assignments but which do not necessarily need to be done by qualified lawyers, including process elements of transactional, advisory and contentious work. We are supported by the use of technology and play a key role in enabling Addleshaw Goddard to respond to client demand for more innovative and better value services.

In this role you will be embedded in the Disputes team in Leeds, focussing specifically on Finance Disputes, although there may be times that you are asked to undertake work for other areas of the Disputes Group or the firm, depending on business needs

What You'll Do:

• assisting with the day to day management of debt recovery matters
• reporting on progress of matters to our clients
• 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
• drafting and producing legal documentation and standard forms
• drafting court forms and issuing court proceedings
• negotiating with debtors

Who We're Looking For:

• 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
• a strong work ethic and a desire to develop and succeed
