Join to apply for the Employment Paralegal role at Addleshaw Goddard
Launched in 2010, our well-established, high performing and busy Transaction Services Team (TST) help Addleshaw Goddard deliver a world class service to its clients. We were the first team of its kind in the UK, and continue to innovate by delivering work in the most efficient way, saving our clients time and money. We are now one of the Firm's biggest groups, with our team being made up of apprentices, paralegals, managers and solicitors.
Our team members focus on tasks that are found in a wide variety of legal assignments but which do not necessarily need to be done by qualified lawyers, including process elements of transactional, advisory and contentious work. We are supported by the use of technology and play a key role in enabling Addleshaw Goddard to respond to client demand for more innovative and better value services.
The work that comes into the team is varied and no two days will be the same.
You would be working for one of our dedicated client teams, embedded within our Leeds Employment team. As an embedded paralegal you would take instructions primarily from our Employment Associates but also have the benefit and support of being part of the larger TST.
What You’ll Do:
* Managing and/or supporting on a number of unfair dismissal and unlawful deductions claims
* Drafting Tribunal forms, including Grounds of Resistance
* Drafting settlement agreements and witness statements
* Managing electronic data sites, uploading documentation, and liaising with third parties
* Creating bundles (in hard copy and electronically) for Tribunal claims and preparing for hearings
* Preparing instructions and subsequent correspondence for Counsel
* Document review, including e-disclosure, to assess the relevance of a wide range of documentation as part of a tribunal claim
Who We’re Looking For:
* Some experience of working in employment law or a related area
* A high level of attention to detail
* Effective personal, organisational and time management skills, and the ability to juggle multiple demands
* Strong written and verbal communication skills, demonstrating an ability to communicate with colleagues at all levels
* A positive, enthusiastic and proactive approach to work
* A strong work ethic and a desire to develop and succeed
