I’m working with a growing and well-regarded law firm in Oxted that’s looking to hire a future Trainee Solicitor. This role is aimed at someone who already has paralegal experience and is now looking for a clear and realistic route into qualification. The structure is straightforward: you’ll join the firm initially as a Paralegal, and once you’ve successfully completed a 6-month probation period, your training contract will formally commence. This is a planned pathway and not an informal promise — the firm regularly develops paralegals into trainee solicitors and beyond. The role For the first 6 months, you’ll work as a paralegal within one of the firm’s core departments, depending on your background and interests: Property law (residential or commercial) Private Client Litigation You’ll gain hands-on experience, support fee earners, and start building the skills needed for your training contract. Once your training contract begins, you’ll rotate through seats and continue your development towards qualification. Who they’re looking for Paralegals with experience in Property, Private Client or Litigation Someone committed to qualifying as a solicitor Strong work ethic and willingness to learn Looking for a firm to train with long term Organised, proactive and client-focused Why consider this opportunity? Clear, structured route to qualification Training contract confirmed after passing probation Supportive and approachable team culture Good quality work and early responsibility Strong track record of developing internal talent This is an excellent opportunity for a paralegal who wants clarity, stability and a genuine pathway to qualification, rather than relying on short-term or uncertain training contract opportunities.
