Job description
We have a great opportunity for a Paralegal to join our Complex Litigation department at DAS Law.
In this role, you’ll work on diverse and complex property disputes from day one, which will include small claims, fast track and multi-track claims and defences. You’ll enjoy early responsibility for all of the claim stages, from inception to conclusion. This includes drafting of case and witness statements, negotiation, mediation and trial and we’ll offer all the support and training you will need to be successful.
This is a role that offers real challenge and clear progression in your Property Law career. You’ll enjoy an extremely varied caseload, including nuisance, trespass, property damage and negligence disputes (no two cases are ever the same!). It is a rewarding environment for candidates who are looking to work in a supportive, collaborative team, with the prospect for continuous improvement and ability to develop professionally.
Due to the nature of the disputes which can often be highly contentious in nature, we are looking for candidates with a background in client facing roles or candidates that can demonstrate a high degree of resilience and empathy. Our ideal candidate would also have experience in running their own caseload, and an interest in property law is essential.
We are keen to hear from candidates with previous experience working as a Paralegal, or experience working within a Legal Administration or Claims Handling role. This role would also suit a Law graduate or an individual with the following skills and experience;
As a team we are passionate and enthusiastic about what we do. Our people are encouraged to think independently, and we pride ourselves on the ability to offer genuine progression and development within this role to those that are interested. These include Apprenticeship opportunities, as well as internal progression routes that are available across the DAS UK Group.
In return for your commitment we will offer you generous remuneration and an attractive benefits package which will include:
At DAS UK Group, we support our people to achieve a work-life balance that works for them and are happy to discuss flexible working options.
If you think you would be a good match for this role and can demonstrate some transferable experience please apply, regardless of whether you meet all the criteria listed above.
DAS UK Group has been helping businesses and individuals get access to justice for over 40 years. Our businesses include a legal expenses insurance company and a law firm.
We have historically focussed on delivering legal services to customers solely via our Legal Expenses Insurance products, which provides a steady workload of litigated cases in areas such as;
We believe these are exciting times for DAS Law as part of the wider DAS UK Group and we are looking for likeminded individuals who share our ambition to make our high quality legal solutions accessible and affordable. ‘Doing the right thing’ is central to our behaviour – from building trust, being accountable, creating good customer outcomes is at the heart of everything that we do which we believe drives performance.
You can expect to join an organisation that will challenge and develop you to progress your career in ways that traditional law firms cannot. We are also committed to supporting continued professional development and promote both internal Training Contracts and alternative routes to qualification (CILEX).
By giving you every opportunity to develop yourself professionally and personally, we also pride ourselves on having an open, inclusive and high energy culture that encourages a fun working environment and places our customers at the very heart of everything we do.
If you are keen to become part of our exciting future then we would love to hear from you. In addition to the very genuine development opportunities we provide we also offer a generous reward and benefits package.
