Graduate Employment Law Paralegal

Fenton Elliott Solicitors is looking for a law graduate to join our specialist employment law team in Newbury, Berkshire.

This is an opportunity for someone at the beginning of their legal career who wants to develop practical expertise in employment law while working closely with experienced solicitors.

What we're looking for

We're more interested in potential than previous paralegal experience.

The successful candidate is likely to have:

  • A good law degree
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Intellectual curiosity and good judgement
  • Confidence dealing with clients
  • Commercial awareness
  • A genuine interest in employment law
  • The ambition to develop a long-term career in the profession

What you'll get

You'll work as part of our employment team on genuine client matters involving both employers and employees.

You'll have the opportunity to learn directly from experienced employment lawyers, develop your drafting and client-handling skills and build a strong grounding in contentious and non-contentious employment law.

For the right candidate, we hope this will be the beginning of a longer-term career with Fenton Elliott, with the potential for progression towards qualification as a solicitor.

The role will be based predominantly in our Newbury office, so we're particularly interested in applications from graduates living in West Berkshire and the surrounding Thames Valley area.
