I’m working with an in-house legal team looking for a Junior Paralegal to join them on an initial 3-month contract, starting in the first or second week of September. This is a great opportunity for a paralegal with around 2–3 years’ experience who is comfortable taking ownership of some of the more process-driven and administrative work within a busy legal team.

The role will include:

  • Reviewing the existing contract portfolio and identifying key provisions, including modification clauses
  • Extracting and organising contractual information
  • Supporting the development and maintenance of a contract management system
  • Helping improve the organisation and accessibility of legal documents
  • Providing broader administrative and paralegal support to the legal team

They are ideally looking for someone who:

  • Has around 2–3 years’ paralegal experience
  • Has worked with commercial contracts, ideally within an in-house legal environment
  • Is organised, detail-focused and comfortable working through a high volume of documents
  • Can work independently and take ownership of a defined project
  • Is available to start in early September

The role can be 4 or 5 days per week, although a full five-day week would be preferred. You would need to be able to attend the Richmond office around 2 days per week, with the remainder worked remotely.

Please get in touch if you are available and would like to hear more.
