Paralegal - Company Secretarial & Corporate Governance Focus in Bristol

We are recruiting for a Paralegal with company secretarial experience to join our Document Review and Collation (DRC) team in Bristol. The DRC team is a recognised centre of excellence within TLT and a recognised leader in optimised managed legal services, operating as a seamless extension of both TLT and client legal teams to drive efficiency, quality and value. Working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders, the team is trusted to deliver with distinction, underpinned by leading-edge technology, streamlined processes and advanced resourcing strategies.

The primary focus of this role is supporting our Corporate team with company secretarial and corporate governance matters. Your day-to-day work will principally be centred on company secretarial tasks including:

• Arranging for clients' companies to use any TLT office as their registered office.
• Filing confirmation statements and company accounts at Companies House.
• Preparing documentation for director appointments and resignations, and other minor administrative company changes.
• Maintaining and reconstituting statutory books and registers.
• Sending timely reminders to clients of upcoming Companies House filing dates and deadlines.
• Incorporating companies, LLPs and community interest companies electronically, including on a same-day basis.
• Assisting with minor company filings at Companies House, including changes of company name and registered office.
• Advising on corporate governance issues, with particular focus on company law and directors' duties.
• Administering company dissolutions.

You will receive structured training in the following DRC workstreams. Where the volume of company secretarial work permits, you may have the opportunity to assist with some of these areas:

• First-level reviews of Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), including redactions, with close attention to detail, accuracy and speed.
• Use of e-disclosure platforms such as Relativity to conduct document reviews and e-disclosure exercises.
• Support to fee earners with pre-action disclosure, court bundle preparation and general document management.

Your Knowledge, Skills and Experience

• Demonstrable experience in a company secretarial role, whether gained in private practice, an in-house environment or a company secretarial services provider.
• Sound working knowledge of Companies House filing requirements and procedures.
• Experience of incorporating companies, LLPs and/or community interest companies.
• Familiarity with maintaining and reconstituting statutory books and registers.
• A solid understanding of corporate governance principles, including directors' duties under the Companies Act 2006.
• Strong ability to build and maintain professional relationships with colleagues and clients across multiple teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a high standard of drafting ability.
• Strong self-management skills with the ability to multitask, prioritise competing demands and work to tight deadlines.
• Good knowledge of Word and Outlook is required; experience in Excel, PowerPoint and Interwoven would be beneficial.

This is a hybrid role with 50% office attendance expected. The role is primarily focused on company secretarial work in support of our Corporate team, with the added benefit of structured training in document review and collation processes. This makes it an ideal role for a paralegal whose primary expertise and ambition lies in company secretarial and corporate governance work.
