This is an excellent opportunity for someone at the early stages of their legal career to gain hands-on experience within a fast-paced litigation environment. The role provides practical experience in the early stages and pre-litigation progression of housing disrepair claims, with opportunities to develop into more advanced case-handling and fee-earning roles within the firm.

Requirements:

Law degree, GDL or equivalent legal qualification preferred, although candidates with relevant legal or claims-handling experience will also be considered

Handling new enquiries from potential clients via telephone and email
Making outbound calls and managing inbound queries
Taking detailed instructions and assessing potential claims
Identifying key issues, gathering evidence and assessing prospects of success
Opening and setting up new claims on the case management system
Maintaining accurate and detailed records of all client interactions

Pre-Litigation Paralegal – Key Responsibilities:

Liaising with clients, landlords, tenants, experts and other third parties
Making outbound calls and managing inbound queries
Maintaining accurate and detailed records of all client interactions
Drafting Letters of Claim
Instructing surveyors, arranging inspections and chasing reports
Liaising with landlords and tenants to arrange inspection appointments and/or repairs
Reviewing disclosure and tenancy records
Assessing and collating out-of-pocket expenses
Supporting the progression of claims through the pre-litigation stages

Skills & Attributes:

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a confident and professional telephone manner
Ability to work in a fast-paced, target-driven environment
Strong organisational and time-management skills
Attention to detail and problem-solving ability
Ability to work independently, take ownership of tasks and use initiative appropriately
Proficient in IT systems and case management software

What You Will Gain:

Practical experience in pre-litigation case handling
Exposure to client care and evidence assessment
Training in drafting, reviewing and progressing claims
Development of professional communication and negotiation skills
Opportunities to progress into more advanced case-handling and fee-earning roles within the firm
