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.
