Corporate Paralegal -Spanish Speaking

Overview

Spanish-Speaking Paralegal (Foreign-Trained Lawyer – Graduate Visa Welcome)

Looking for our 5th candidate.

Are you a Spanish-speaking legal professional looking to advance your career in the UK? Would you like to join a multi-disciplinary international firm where you can gain experience across legal, corporate, and financial sectors?

At Aster & Trujillo, we are not a traditional firm. We are an international consultancy practice offering end-to-end advisory services that integrate law, tax, and corporate strategy. Our clients include UK and European businesses, as well as international entrepreneurs expanding into the UK.

We collaborate across disciplines — our legal team works hand-in-hand with solicitors, accountants, and tax advisors to deliver seamless, A-to-Z solutions. We assist clients in areas such as corporate governance, employment and immigration law, business formation, and cross-border compliance, ensuring they receive holistic, tailored support.

Team & Environment

You will be joining a diverse team of four international lawyers, all qualified in foreign jurisdictions and currently building their professional careers in the UK. Together, you’ll collaborate across departments, share knowledge, and gain first-hand exposure to the UK legal and regulatory system within a supportive, multicultural environment.

You’ll also work closely with our internal accounts and tax department, gaining valuable insight into financial compliance, payroll, VAT, and HMRC reporting — a unique opportunity to broaden your expertise beyond the purely legal field.
