Job Description

Corporate Paralegal (Experienced- 2 years +)
Chesterfield Full Time Permanent Hybrid Working Available

We are currently working with a growing and highly regarded law firm that is looking to recruit an experienced Corporate Paralegal to support its busy corporate team.

Due to continued growth, the firm is expanding its corporate department and is seeking a proactive paralegal who is keen to work on high-quality transactional matters alongside experienced corporate solicitors.



The Role

This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on involvement in a range of corporate transactions. The firm undertakes high-value acquisition and disposal work, with particular expertise in the social care sector.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Reviewing and preparing due diligence responses

  • Managing data rooms during transactions

  • Drafting due diligence and transaction reports

  • Drafting and negotiating ancillary corporate documents

  • Assisting with disclosure processes

  • Supporting with company incorporations, share allotments and corporate governance matters

The work can be fast-paced and deadline-driven, so the successful candidate will need to be organised, proactive and comfortable working under time pressure.



The Team & Working Environment

You will be joining a friendly and supportive team, working closely with experienced fee earners and gaining valuable exposure to complex corporate transactions. The firm also has dedicated administrative support, meaning you will be able to focus on meaningful legal work and developing your technical skills, rather than routine administrative tasks.



Working Arrangements

The role is primarily office-based during the initial period, with hybrid working available following successful completion of probation. The firm encourages time spent in the office to allow team collaboration and mentorship.



Benefits

The firm offers a competitive benefits package including:

  • Enhanced annual leave
