We are working with a leading construction business looking to appoint a Paralegal on a 6-12 month fixed-term contract to support its legal team in London.

Key responsibilities:

• Supporting the management of construction litigation and downstream construction claims.
• Assisting with the preparation and review of legal documents, pleadings and correspondence.
• Managing claim files, maintaining documentation and monitoring key deadlines.
• Supporting solicitors and the wider legal team with dispute resolution matters.
• Liaising with internal stakeholders, external solicitors and other relevant parties.
• Assisting with the gathering of evidence, reviewing contractual documentation and preparing case materials.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Previous experience working as a Paralegal within construction litigation.
• Experience supporting downstream construction claims and disputes.
• A good understanding of construction contracts and the claims process.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
