About Us

Chamberlain McBain is a specialist paralegal firm with over 20 years’ experience delivering practical and effective legal services in debt recovery, litigation, and enforcement across Scotland, England, and Wales.

As a small, highly focused team, we offer a hands-on working environment where individuals are trusted with responsibility, encouraged to take ownership of their work, and supported to develop professionally. We value initiative, accountability, and a strong work ethic, and we are committed to helping our people build meaningful legal careers.

The Role

This role is ideally suited to a law graduate seeking practical, real-world legal experience in a fast-paced professional environment. As a Trainee Paralegal, you will be given early responsibility for managing aspects of live cases, supported by experienced colleagues.

You will be expected to organise your own workload, track case progress effectively, and communicate confidently with clients and external parties. This role offers significant scope to learn “on the job” and develop strong legal, organisational, and professional skills.

Liaison: Communicate regularly with solicitors, clerks, sheriffs, enforcement agents, and other professionals to progress cases efficiently
Court & Enforcement Support: Support litigation and enforcement processes by ensuring documentation is prepared, lodged, and followed up appropriately
Prioritisation: Manage competing priorities and adjust workloads as cases progress
Independent Working: Take ownership of assigned tasks while working collaboratively within a small team
Charitable Engagement: Support the School Mock Court Project, promoting legal education and engagement with the profession

Essential:

A Law degree or equivalent legal qualification
Strong organisational and time-management skills
Ability to manage tasks independently and see work through to completion
Confidence communicating with clients and legal professionals
High attention to detail and a conscientious approach to work
A proactive mindset and willingness to take responsibility

Desirable (but not essential):

Interest in debt recovery, litigation, or enforcement
Interest in legal education or outreach initiatives

Role Details

Location: Office-based (Edinburgh)
Salary: £25,500 per annum
Hours: 36.25 hours per week (full-time)
Contract: Fixed-term contract – 2 years
