Overview
Legal Talent Specialist at JMC Legal Recruitment — Private Wealth Paralegal | West End | L500 & Spears Ranked
Are you a Private Wealth Paralegal eager to work on high-value, high-profile matters? This thriving West End firm combines top-tier clients, engaging work, and a collaborative, forward-thinking culture. Perfect for ambitious paralegals ready to progress to a trainee solicitor role.
The Firm
Ranked in Legal 500, this multi-service London firm is renowned for quality work and innovation. The Private Wealth team handles complex disputes for HNW individuals and families, trustees, owner-managed business, estates and charities. Supported by experienced partners, you’ll gain hands-on exposure to high-profile cases in a culture praised for mentoring, flexibility and work-life balance.
The firm embraces innovation, including AI-driven legal tools, giving it a competitive edge and streamlining workflow, something few SME firms can offer.
Widely praised for its supportive, friendly and collegiate culture, with a strong reputation for mentoring and career development, particularly for junior lawyers and paralegals. In practice you will join a team where you’ll be supported by leading partners, gain hands-on experience early and build a clear pathway. You will find there is much more in the way of staff flexibility and work-life balance than at larger city firms without compromising on quality of work.
The Role
Join a busy Private Wealth team, working alongside partners and senior lawyers on tax-efficient succession planning, wealth structuring, trusts and estates (UK and offshore), asset protection, probate and disputes. Responsibilities include:
* Drafting legal documents and correspondence.
* Preparing court and tribunal bundles.
* Conducting legal research.
* Liaising with clients, witnesses and counsel.
From day one, you’ll gain exposure to highly engaging and often complex/high-value Private Wealth matters.
Ambitious individuals can progress to a trainee solicitor role within 12–18 months.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Clear pathway to a training contract; paralegals are supported to qualify as solicitors.
* Work with nationally recognised partners on high-profile matters.
* Exposure to HNW individuals, families, trustees, owner-managed business, estates and charities.
* Supportive culture with strong professional development and hybrid working.
Requirements
* 2–3 years’ Private Wealth paralegal experience (SQE1/part SQE1 welcome).
* Commercial awareness and eagerness to contribute to team know-how.
* Team-oriented, organised, detail-focused and client-focused.
This is a career-defining opportunity to work on complex, high-profile Private Wealth disputes, develop your skills and accelerate your path to qualification.
