Overview
We are supporting a very distinct legal project for the next 2+ months in Hemel Hempstead. We are looking for a Paralegal or Lawyer who may be available to support on an urgent project.

* Assist with recommending and appointing selected solicitors based on cost considerations.
What to Expect

* Hybrid working: typically 2–3 days in the office with flexible/remote options for this project, provided you can access Hemel Hempstead offices when required.
* Full-time workload within the project duration (next 2 months minimum).
* Compensation: day rate circa £150+ plus holiday accrual (salary equivalent around £40k, to be confirmed and discussed).
Requirements
