Overview
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.

* 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.
