Job Advert Description

We provide real estate dispute resolution legal services for a broad range of clients across a wide range of specialist areas.

The Tenancy Disputes team in Birmingham currently comprises of two Partners, one Senior Associate, five Associates, two Senior Paralegals, and five Paralegals, and the support of a Trainee Solicitor. The work which the team undertake is in the niche area of residential landlord and tenant legal issues and disputes. The team advises and represents a very broad client base which includes registered providers, letting agents, and landlords in the private sector.

As a result of an increase in instructions received, particularly in relation to defending claims where tenants are alleging their landlord has breached their repairing obligations and are seeking compensation (known as disrepair claims), the team is seeking to appoint a Paralegal to be based in the Birmingham office

What you'll be doing

Providing support to the wider team;
Managing defended housing disrepair claims;
Providing advice in writing and by telephone;
Drafting witness statements;
Progressing and managing cases that proceed to trial by complying with Court directions such as disclosure and instructing Counsel;
Negotiating settlements with opposing parties;
Advising clients on cases and the merits of a case;
Meeting clients;
Actively participating in business development initiatives and maintaining good client relationships

What you'll need

The firm has a competency framework for paralegals and in particular for this role we require:

Strong technical and organisational skills;
Excellent communication skills;
Client focus;
Drive and enthusiasm.
Team based approach;
Commercial awareness;
Ability to work to deadlines;
Good interpersonal skills, presenting and client facing skills.
Good academic record is essential;
LLB/LPC graduate desirable but not essential
Previous paralegal experience is desirable;
Experience of litigation matters, ideally property, is desirable;
Residential landlord and tenant litigation, especially experience of disrepair claims, is desirable;
An interest in marketing;
An ability to work autonomously with minimum supervision – a self-starter.

Trowers & Hamlins is an equal opportunities employer and values equity, diversity and inclusion. All applications will be considered on merit and the applicant's suitability to meet the requirements of the role and will be treated equally irrespective of Ethnicity, Gender (including Trans and non-binary) Race, Disability, Religion and sexual orientation.
