My client, a highly regarded law firm, are seeking to recruit a diligent, highly motivated, and fast-learning Business Immigration Paralegal / Assistant with Chinese language skills to join their busy Immigration Department. The successful candidate will work directly alongside a Partner, providing support across a broad range of business immigration matters.
