The Role

We have an exciting opportunity for a paralegal to join our Abuse team, specialising in bringing civil compensation claims for survivors of abuse against those responsible – personally or vicariously.

We have the largest team of abuse solicitors in the country and a proven track record of precedent setting cases, including:

• A v Hoare & others, which changed the law of limitation in this area
• FZO v Adams & Anr, the highest ever award of damages in an abuse claim;
• ABC v West Heath, the first case in which damages were awarded to a claimant for sexting.

You will assist with:

•  a caseload of complex and challenging abuse compensation claims;
• legal research; and
• marketing campaigns.

You will ideally:

• have a 2:1 degree or higher;
• have a strong commitment to this area of work;
• have some previous relevant litigation or legal experience (personal injury experience will be highly advantageous but not essential)
• be hard working, energetic, sociable, with excellent IT, administrative and research skills.

In return, we give all our staff the opportunity to excel in their chosen field by providing training, support, supervision and responsibility to match experience. Our working environment is demanding but friendly and very flexible. 

It is our policy to select the firm’s trainee solicitors from internal applicants only, based on suitability and business needs.
