Private Client Paralegal

Private Client Paralegal | Manchester | 1+ Years Private Client Experience

This practice boasts a heritage of over 30 years in the Manchester area and is now looking to grow with the addition of a Private Client Paralegal. You will work closely alongside experienced fee earners across a high-quality caseload, with a substantial will bank providing work from day one.

The firm has a strong reputation for looking after its staff across all departments and offers the kind of bespoke training that is hard to find at larger practices.

The Firm

This family friendly firm offers expertise across key practice areas including property, litigation, private client and family law. With a focus on services to individuals, it harnesses a good amount of internal cross referral work, creating a sense of client familiarity across departments which is very hard to find at the larger practices in the Northwest.

This practice has a particularly good reputation for looking after its staff, with the managing partner checking in with all fee earners and paralegals weekly. If you are looking to avoid the cog in a wheel structure, this firm offers a bespoke alternative.

With staff welfare at the core of the business, they continue to offer a strong degree of flexibility, with people working part time and from home several days a week.

Being based in South Manchester, the firm has access to HNW individual clients, meaning anyone joining has access to a high-quality level of work.

The Role

This firm is looking to appoint a Paralegal to join its growing Private Client department in South Manchester.

This is an exciting time to be joining as the firm continues to establish itself as a specialist across Private Client, Family and Conveyancing. You will support on a broad spectrum of matters including wills, trusts, probate, estate administration and Court of Protection work, often involving complex and high value estates.

Due to the firm's heritage in the area, the established will bank and strong relationships with local IFAs and funeral directors, you will have a good amount of work from your first day.

You will be working closely with experienced fee earners, giving you the kind of bespoke training and development that is hard to find at larger practices.
