Is This the Role for You?

A paralegal role at VWV provides the perfect building blocks for future trainee solicitors looking to gain experience ahead of starting a training contract or even to assist with applications for training contracts themselves.  We're proud of our record in transitioning a good proportion of our existing paralegals into trainee solicitors.

Who Are We Hoping Will Apply?

You'll have some form of legal academics, be that a law degree, law conversion, LPC or SQE. You may have some previous paralegal or property experience which will naturally help you transition into the role more smoothly but is by no means essential as we're much more interested in your drive and enthusiasm.  An interest in commercial property would certainly be a bonus.

It's a busy role so you'll be highly organised, an excellent all-round communicator with great IT skills and confident using all Microsoft office products.  This is a natural fit someone who's motivated by the team's successes ahead of their own and your calm, professional manner will make an excellent first impression with our clients.
