Corporate Paralegal -Spanish Speaking

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

Location: Temple Avenue, London

Salary: £24,000 – £28,000 per year (depending on experience abroad or in the UK)

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.

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.

Key Responsibilities:

• Legal & Corporate Support

• Conduct legal research and draft contracts, letters, and other legal documentation
• Support solicitors in corporate, commercial, property, and employment law matters
• Assist with immigration applications and compliance checks for international clients

• Conduct KYC and AML checks for corporate and individual clients
• Maintain accurate compliance records and manage statutory filings
• Ensure timely completion of annual returns and governance obligations

• Communicate directly with Spanish-speaking and international clients
• Support Latin American and European businesses setting up operations in the UK
• Liaise with external auditors and regulators across jurisdictions
• Coordinate with accountants and tax advisors to deliver integrated client support

• Manage a small portfolio of clients under supervision
• Coordinate with internal teams to ensure timely project delivery
• Contribute to proposals, client meetings, and business development efforts

What We’re Looking For - Essential Requirements

• Law degree (LLB or equivalent) from Spain, Latin America, or another foreign jurisdiction
• Fluency in Spanish and English (spoken and written)
• A qualified lawyer from a foreign jurisdiction looking to transition into UK practice
• Experience or strong interest in corporate and/or immigration law
• Knowledge of tax and business advisory services
• Understanding of legal compliance and risk management
• Excellent legal drafting, research, and analytical skills
• Strong organisational and time management abilities
• Proactive, professional, and client-focused approach
• Willingness to learn UK legal systems and adapt to new frameworks

Desirable

• Experience in corporate, immigration, or property law
• Familiarity with compliance or tax-related work
• Prior experience in a law firm or consultancy (in the UK or abroad)
• Interest in business development and international advisory
• UK experience is not required. Full training will be provided.

Candidates on Graduate Visas or with valid UK work authorisation are welcome to apply.

What We Offer

• Career growth within a multi-disciplinary international firm
• Collaboration with a team of internationally qualified lawyers
• Exposure to UK, European, and Latin American clients
• Supportive, multicultural, and professional environment
