Commercial Litigation Paralegal in London

The firm Joseph Hage Aaronson & Bremen LLP is an exciting dispute resolution and advisory law firm based in London. The firm uniquely integrates the expertise of leading solicitors and barristers, as well as specialist accountants and data scientists, to provide comprehensive solutions to complex legal challenges. We have an international client base that ranges from ultra-high net worth individuals and trusts to publicly listed blue-chip companies, foreign government entities and the world's largest funds.

Our established team of commercial litigation lawyers and KCs works collaboratively to deliver effective, results-driven case strategies aligned with our clients' commercial objectives. We are trusted by clients to handle high value and complex commercial litigation cases, including those involving novel issues of law, jurisdiction, and procedure.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced litigation paralegal to join our team on a 12-month fixed term basis, covering a period of maternity leave. This is an excellent opportunity to work on a varied caseload of commercial disputes, supporting fee earners at all stages of litigation. The level of responsibility and exposure to high-level work for paralegals is unusually high at JHA. This is a fantastic role for a self-motivated and autonomous individual, who may be seeking a different environment than the usual large corporate law firm. There will be opportunities to learn from and work alongside hard-working, accomplished professionals who strive to provide the most effective advice and strategies.

• Drafting and reviewing correspondence, court documents, and ancillary materials.
• Conducting legal research and preparing case summaries and chronologies.
• Assisting with document management, archiving, and electronic disclosure (including document review and bundles).
• Maintaining matter files and ensuring key deadlines are tracked and met.
• Producing consistent, accurate and high-quality work.
• Other general administrative duties as necessary.
• Willingness to be involved, driven by the desire to learn and develop yourself.

Ideal Qualifications & Experience

• At least 2 years of experience as a commercial litigation paralegal with a reputable firm.
• Solid understanding of the Civil Procedure Rules and court processes.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, organisation skills, and attention to detail.
• Desire to be part of a forward-thinking, fast-paced and dynamic firm.
• Proactive with a hands-on attitude and an enthusiasm for engaging in a wide breadth of duties.
