We are currently looking for a motivated, proactive and energetic Paralegal to join our Corporate team in Leicester.
Howes Percival’s Corporate team specialise in advising a range of clients including owner managed businesses, management teams and investors on different corporate transactions including company sales and acquisitions, reorganisations and management buy-outs and buy-ins.
This is a great opportunity to develop your legal skills and knowledge within an experienced and mutually supportive team. The candidate that shows potential will be considered for the apprenticeship programme, with a view to qualifying as a solicitor.
You will be supporting the team to progress corporate transactions and this may involve drafting correspondence and documents, completing legal research and attending clients.
We are looking for you to have the following skills:
- Great working knowledge of Microsoft Office including Word and Excel
- Excellent communication skills
- Strong administration skills and real attention to detail
- A people person who is approachable and works well as part of a team
- Results focused
- A willingness to learn and develop your corporate expertise
A few things which we hope distinguish us from our competitors:
- We are growing and can offer a defined career path and progression: in a little over two years, we have increased the size of our corporate, commercial, and banking team by 50 per cent. We believe that if you have the right people, with the right mind-set, the sky’s the limit. We have made quality hires and promoted from within, allowing us to develop and grow our staff to help them achieve their career goals.
- We are an award-winning firm: a growing Top 100 Best Companies employer and we are ranked in the Top 10 Best Law Firms to work for in 2022.
- Our lawyers come from a variety of backgrounds, many from larger and City firms, some from in-house – we all share the same Howes Percival DNA but all of this rich experience is there for you to access and absorb.
- Not only are we expert in our chosen practice areas, but we also have deep experience in specialist sectors such as Automotive, Food and Beverage, Healthcare, Development, Technology and Innovation, and Leisure and Tourism.
At Howes Percival, we put people at the heart of what we do and strive to exceed our client’s expectations every day. We are passionate about delivering excellence as standard. We value diversity, care about our local community and the impact we have on the environment. Most of all, we look out for one another and work together as one team.
