Italian or Spanish Speaking Law Graduate / Paralegal– SQE 1 / LPC Essential

Job Title: Italian or Spanish Speaking Law Graduate – SQE 1 Essential

Our client, a prestigious London law firm with an established client base, are looking to recruit a fluent Spanish or Italian speaking LPC / SQE graduate to join their litigation and international arbitration team to assist with high-value, complex commercial litigation. The work will be a mixture of dispute resolution including banking and financial services, contract disputes, funds, M&A disputes, fraud, shipping, and general commercial litigation.

The firm are happy to see LPC / SQE graduates with no experience, but it is essential that you have complete fluency in Spanish and/or Italian, and good academics. The successful paralegal will be dealing with a variety of tasks including:

1. Document management
2. Extensive legal research
3. Drafting legal documents including briefs, appeals, agreements, etc.
4. Preparing bundles/documents for meetings and court
5. Proofreading contracts
6. Other general paralegal assistance as required

Exceptional academics and the LPC / SQE 1 are essential as well as Spanish or Italian language skills. This is an exciting role and an exceptional opportunity to join a well-established firm with excellent career prospects and long-term progression (the firm have offered training contracts to their previous paralegals). Fantastic training on offer and ideal for an ambitious, motivated candidate.
