Paralegal

Mercantile Barristers is a Barristers’ Chambers, based in the heart of Legal London, at Gray’s Inn. Our members have established practices in traditional and commercial chancery work, specialising in commercial litigation, company, construction, property, estates and sports law. Chambers provides full circle legal services on both contentious and non-contentious matters to businesses, professionals and high net worth individuals.

To assist with our increasing case load and organic growth, we now require a Litigation Paralegal to join our team on a permanent basis. Reporting to the Head of Chambers, the successful candidate will be specifically responsible for working with a Barrister to maintain full litigation case management from pre-action conduct through to trial and appeal, where necessary in compliance with the Civil Procedure Rules.

This role would suit an enthusiastic litigator with the ability to work in a team with Counsel servicing other solicitors and Public/Direct Access clients. Candidates must not be set in their ways and should be IT literate with great written and oral communication skills. They should also have a smart professional appearance, friendly manner, be very flexible, innovative and forward thinking.

Between 1-3 years of paralegal experience in a law firm and/or barristers’ chambers; and completion of the LPC or equivalent Bar course is preferable, but not essential. Chambers also looks forward to receiving applications from candidates who are contemplating, or are in the midst of, qualifying as a solicitor using the new SQE route to practice.

We offer a competitive salary dependent on experience. No agencies please.
