Description
Our immigration specialists guide clients through the complexities of the UK's immigration law and we're proud of our record of working with education providers, employers across a range of sectors and private clients providing immigration advice that's tailored to their needs.
Immigration Partner Tom Brett Young advises on a range of immigration issues with a particular focus on providing immigration advice to employers and education providers.
A paralegal role at VWV provides the perfect building blocks for future trainee solicitors looking to gain experience ahead of starting a training contract, or even to assist with applications for training contracts themselves, and that's due to the variety of legal disciplines you'll be exposed to. We're proud of our record in transitioning a good proportion of our existing paralegals into trainee solicitors.
Is This the Role for You?
This is a great opportunity to gain experience in a fast paced, topical area of law that can change from one day to the next. With supervision you'll be preparing immigration applications and advice as well as template instructions for employers and education providers to assist them in meeting their sponsorship/immigration obligations. You'll develop those all-important client facing skills as you liaise with clients over the phone and during client meetings. And if that's not enough, you'll also become familiar with the firm's case management system and compliance procedures for letters of engagement, file opening, money laundering, archiving, billing and client accounts.
In this role, you'll provide invaluable support to the team by taking ownership of legal administration tasks, allowing our lawyers to focus on business generation. You'll become familiar with the firm's compliance procedures for letters of engagement, file opening, money laundering, archiving, billing and client accounts. And you'll get plenty of exposure to our clients as you play a key part in gathering relevant information to assist the lawyers with their enquiries.

Who We're Looking For.
Perhaps you're a recent graduate looking to gain experience towards studying SQE and securing a training contract, or you could be someone working towards a CILEx qualification, already committed to a career in law, working with private clients. We're open to candidates from a range of educational backgrounds who can demonstrate an interest in private client work and the right transferable skills.
Whilst immigration experience is advantageous as it may help you settle in more quickly, it's by no means essential. What matters most to us are your core skills and attitude. It's a busy role, so you'll be organised, an excellent all-round communicator with proficient IT skills using Microsoft Office and someone who's motivated by the team's successes ahead of their own. And whilst there's no doubt that time spent in a commercial law firm of this size will naturally enhance your commercial acumen, we love to see applications from graduates whose commercial awareness is instinctive, so if that's you and you have a genuine interest in immigration law, then we really want to hear from you.
Why Choose Us?
There are so many reasons to stop and explore VWV further. We're known for our friendly and welcoming culture where teamwork and collaboration are key. There's no pigeon-holing or glass ceilings here, just a professional yet relaxed culture where you can finally be yourself.
At VWV, we're committed to your growth with our bespoke Learning A

We're striving to be an inclusive employer of choice, to create a workplace environment that promotes and values diversity, where everyone, regardless of background, can reach their full potential. During the assessment process, we've supported a range of reasonable adjustments in the past, though we continue to learn and evolve to create the best possible candidate experience for everyone.

Where Will I Be Working?
VWV supports hybrid working and equips all paralegals to work from home.

That said, we're happy to discuss individual circumstances and hybrid arrangements as part of the assessment process.
