A such, our client is looking for someone with extensive experience 'pastoral' management experience, working as a lead in a Paralegal team.

This lucrative role would be performed on a hybrid basis, with 3 days a week in the office. Although excellent academics are always welcome, the key factor in this role is relevant experience due to the Seniority and responsibility of the position. A such, only the very best candidates with c.3-5 years of solid and relevant experience at a well-known law firm(s) can be considered.
