Hopkin Murray Beskine (London) - Paralegal (Housing/Public Law)
Posted 3 days 11 hours ago by Young Legal Aid Lawyers
We are a long-established Islington firm with clients from across London and beyond, who come to us because of our expertise in family, housing and public law. We have a thriving legal aid practice alongside privately funded work. Our solicitors are leaders in their fields, and we are recommended by the Chambers UK and Legal 500 guides.
Paralegals in our housing and public law team provide support in a range of interesting work, including judicial review, housing possession and disrepair claims in the County Court, and homelessness challenges and appeals. We have excellent resources including a modern practice management system, which you will be trained to use. The role will also include providing some administrative support and some reception cover.
Person Specification:
The role will require someone with an interest in housing and public law who is well organised and has good communication skills. You will be expected to work hard, be flexible, produce excellent written work and establish relationships with a range of clients. We provide a collaborative workplace where you will be well supported and supervised.
We expect applicants to have a law degree and/or to have undertaken some post-graduate legal training. It would be a suitable role for applicants who will be completing part-time post-graduate studies towards qualification as a solicitor or barrister.
Previous relevant experience would be an advantage but is not essential.
Please note that interviews for shortlisted applicants will be held in the week commencing 8th September 2025.
