Paralegal with strong case management and legal research skills, passionate about accurate client support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a newly qualified paralegal and LLB (Hons) graduate (First Class) with hands-on experience across legal clinic support, advice services, and caseload work. I bring a research-led approach—listening closely to client issues, carrying out effective legal research, and translating complex processes into clear, accessible updates.
In my current role as a Paralegal at Kinetic Law, I independently manage a large caseload (600+ files), prioritise work under pressure, and meet strict deadlines. I draft detailed correspondence and settlement communications, review medical and service evidence using structured legal frameworks, liaise in a regulated environment, and regularly use Microsoft Office (especially Word and Excel) while submitting accurate claims.
