Company Description Exciting alternative legal services start-up launching in Q1 2026.
Role Description Please note there is more than one role available. The role will initially be on a part-time contractual basis. However, the role is expected to evolve quickly, both in terms of volume of work and responsibility, as the business grows. The option for full-time employment (staff) may be offered at the appropriate time. The role will be client facing so experience of engaging with clients and leading meetings is essential as is the ability to communicate and present clearly. Specifically, candidates need to be able to converse with warmth, empathy and professionalism. A background in law (either academically or through experience) is a pre-requisite. The role is likely to suit individuals currently at paralegal / legal assistant level who are looking to develop themselves further. It is also likely to suit qualified solicitors who are looking for a high-level of flexibility in their working lives. In addition to engaging with clients, the role will involve administrative duties and preparation of legal documents. The role will be remote with occasional need to engage in-person with management (London based).
