Russian Speaking Paralegal
We are working with a brilliant specialist litigation firm in London on a new paralegal vacancy within its disputes team. The firm is known for taking on complex, high-value and often high-profile litigation, acting for clients in situations where the stakes are genuinely significant.
This particular role requires someone with Russian language skills, alongside previous litigation paralegal experience.
It would suit a Russian-speaking paralegal who wants to build meaningful experience in a specialist disputes environment and be part of a team working on serious, complex and fascinating matters.
The role is being offered on an initial 12-month contract, with a strong possibility of extension. You will be providing dedicated support on a substantial litigation matter, working closely with lawyers, counsel and external parties. The work will involve hearing and trial preparation, bundles, document management, legal research, attendance notes, correspondence and general case support. It will be busy, detailed and at times demanding, but it is also a genuinely exciting opportunity for someone who wants to develop their litigation experience in a firm where the work is both interesting and important.
The firm itself is one I know extremely well, and it is genuinely one of the loveliest places I recruit for. They are highly respected in the disputes market, but what stands out just as much is the culture. It is collaborative, friendly, supportive and human. They care about the work, they care about their clients, and they care about the people in the team. For someone looking to gain excellent litigation experience without feeling like a number in a huge machine, this could be a really special opportunity.
You do not need to have done this exact type of work before, but you will need some previous litigation paralegal experience, strong academics, Russian language skills and a genuine interest in contentious work. You should be organised, calm under pressure, detail-focused and confident communicating with lawyers, clients and external parties.
The work will suit someone who enjoys being involved in complex matters and who takes pride in doing things properly.
This is an ideal role for a Russian-speaking litigation paralegal who wants to step into a high-quality litigation environment, work on genuinely impressive cases and join a team that is known not only for the calibre of its work, but also for being a really lovely place to work.
