Paralegal - Motor Recoveries - Salary dependent on experience

A Paralegal is required for a top tier defendent law firm based in Birmingham.

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Paralegal to join a top tier law firm based in Birmingham. My client is a Legal 500 law firm with outstanding presence nationally and global footprint.

Due to rapid growth they are looking to recruit a Paralegal to join their Motor Recoveries Team.

The role would suit a Paralegal with a minimum of 12 months experience of working on high volume caseloads and looking for the next challenge in their career.

Your Responsibilities:

- Handle a varied caseload of motor recover claims including pre and post litigation.
- Supporting more experienced lawyers in the team on more complex or larger costs cases.
- Acting as a point of contact for clients, demonstrating a level of knowledge and skill commensurate with experience.

Key Skills:

- A Law degree or equivalent.
- Confident negotiator and communicator, who can communicate clearly and concisely both verbally and in written form
- IT literate with a good working knowledge of Excel and Word. Previous knowledge or experience of a case management system would be an advantage but is not essential
