Our team advises both employers and employees across a wide range of sectors, from SMEs to large corporates, charities, public bodies and senior executives. We handle a broad spectrum of contentious and non-contentious employment issues, often in a fast-paced and high-stakes environment. We are now looking for a motivated Employment Law Paralegal to join our team of 10 busy and experienced fee earners.
At BTO, you will be part of a collaborative and supportive environment where your contributions are valued. We offer:

* Assist with non-contentious work including contracts of employment, consultancy agreements and staff handbooks
* Assist with Settlement Agreements, including supporting solicitors from initial enquiry through to final signing and feeing.
* Take initial enquiry calls from new clients and record relevant information
* Coordinate the onboarding process including AML checks, conflict checks and file opening
* Ensure a professional, responsive and client focused approach from first contact onwards
* Suggest and help implement solutions to streamline service delivery using legal tech or case management tools
* Contribute to marketing initiatives including content creation (blogs, updates and podcasts) and events
* Build rapport with clients and contacts, helping to develop ongoing relationships and repeat business
* Stay up to date with employment law developments and proactively share insights with the team
Candidates must have a strong interest in employment law and a good understanding of employment tribunal processes. While not essential, a paralegal qualification in employment law is desirable. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, together with strong organisational ability and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently in a fast-paced environment. You must also be a team player who works well with colleagues at all levels and have the ability to use initiative and seek guidance when required.
