- Conduct
- Disciplinary issues
As such, our client is looking for someone with extensive experience 'pastoral' management experience, working as a lead in a Paralegal team.
This lucrative role would be performed on a hybrid basis, with 3 days a week in the office. Although excellent academics are always welcome, the key factor in this role is relevant experience due to the Seniority and responsibility of the position.A such, only the very best candidates with c-5 years of solid and relevant experience at a well-known law firm(s) can be considered.
