Private Client Paralegal

Private Client Paralegal
Location: Portsmouth
Salary: £30,000 - £35,000 per annum

Are you a paralegal who enjoys helping families through life's big (and sometimes messy) milestones? We're looking for a Private Client Fee-Earning Paralegal to join a long-established, well-respected law firm in Portsmouth with deep roots in the local community.

Think traditional values mixed with a modern, approachable team — basically, the best of both worlds.

What's in it for you?
, A competitive salary (actual money, not “experience”)
, Great benefits and a friendly, down-to-earth team that genuinely cares about their people
, The chance to be part of a firm that's been around for generations but isn't stuck in the past
, Real opportunities to grow your career and take on responsibility in a supportive environment

About You (aka “The Wish List”)
, At least 12 months' experience in Private Client (Wills, Probate, LPAs, Trusts - the usual suspects)
, Happy handling your own files with supervision available when you need it
, Organised enough to keep your cases running smoothly (bonus if your sock drawer is equally neat)
, Strong people skills — because clients want empathy as much as legal expertise
, Calm under pressure and able to juggle deadlines without losing your cool (or your sense of humour)

What You'll Be Doing (aka “Making Families Breathe Easier”)
, Drafting Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Probate applications
, Guiding clients with empathy and clear explanations (no Latin required)
, Managing files from start to finish while keeping everything compliant
, Working alongside solicitors and colleagues who will share knowledge (and the biscuit tin)
, Becoming part of a firm that's as well-known for supporting its community as it is for supporting its staff

If you're looking to join a respected, and genuinely welcoming firm where your work makes a real difference (and your birthday will never be forgotten), we'd love to hear from you.
