Job Description

We are currently looking for Paralegals with a minimum of 12 months experience in commercial contracts to work for various roles.

The application process is quick and easy to complete.

The Role

By applying for this role you are not applying for a specific paralegal position. Instead, you are applying to be added to our successful candidates database for paralegal opportunities.

If successful, we would take the time to understand your preferences, experience and interests, in order to match those with paralegal opportunities available with our clients. We work with a variety of law firms and organisations seeking paralegals to join their teams.

Opportunities vary from short-term paralegal roles of a few weeks to much longer placements, as well as permanent positions where you would be hired directly by our clients.

The Selection Process

We would review your application and if your skills, experience and qualifications match our requirements, we will contact you to schedule an interview with a member of our recruitment team.

What we look for

  • A law degree or equivalent (LLB/GDL or SQE1) is beneficial and may mean more opportunities will be open to you as some clients require a degree of previous legal training.
  • Minimum 12 months of previous paralegal experience covering commercial law and commercial contracts.

Additional Requirements

  • Highly organised

About Accutrainee Limited

Accutrainee provides a unique, flexible and efficient way for law firms and in-house legal teams to take on trainee solicitors and for graduates to benefit from bespoke training contracts designed around them.

Trainees can gain experience in more than one organisation during their training contract or stay at one firm for the whole two years. There is no typical training contract at Accutrainee. To date, all of our trainees have secured positions on qualification.

We employ trainees under training contracts and second them to law firms and in-house legal teams in accordance with our clients'​ requirements and business needs. The result is improved efficiency and flexibility for our clients and greater opportunities for our trainees.

We work with organisations who have their own trainee cohort as well as those who have wanted to take on trainees in the past but not yet done so. Our role is to ensure clients get access to quality assured trainees but without having to worry about anything else as it’s all taken care of by us!

We are continually talking to firms and in-house teams about their trainee requirements and therefore we have training contracts opportunities starting all year round.

During training contracts, we heavily monitor trainees ensuring that all training requirements are met and exceeded and to ensure each trainee is day one competent. We also deliver additional mentoring to each trainee so that they get the support and guidance they need during this crucial time in their career development.

Our extremely robust selection process takes place all year round enabling us to meet far greater numbers of candidates to understand their strengths and competencies. This method is crucial to supporting our passion and focus on improving diversity within the legal profession.
