The role
We're looking for a paralegal to join our thriving litigation department in Aberdeen, which specialises in personal injury matters and works collaboratively with colleagues and clients nationwide.

Dealing with claims from initial instruction to settlement and agreement of expenses

Our ideal candidate
The ideal candidate will likely have personal injury law experience, but we would consider someone with a commercial litigation background, with an interest in personal injury.
You will be able to demonstrate excellent attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and a first-rate client service track record.
As a strong communicator, you will be adept at analysing legal issues, working efficiently to deadlines, and demonstrating a can-do attitude to business development. You'll be a strong team player while also able to work under your own initiative.
You should also be IT literate, with a good knowledge of Word, Excel, and Outlook, and ideally be a Law Society of Scotland-accredited paralegal.
