Private Client Paralegal - Wills & Estates Contract

This is a rare and exciting opportunity with a highly regarded company, who are seeking a talented and experienced Paralegal to join their London team on an initial 6 Month FTC. The client is open to candidates working on a full-time or part-time basis. However, the role will involve working on our client's London office rather than working remotely/hybrid basis.

The role will primarily focus on private client work, particularly in relation to wills and estate planning for High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI). The successful candidate will be liaising with highly regarded UK and International law firms, and duties will include tracking and drafting correspondence, document filing, liaising with external legal counsel, along with other general paralegal and administrative tasks. The role will also involve some company secretarial duties.

It is imperative that applicants are confident in their own ability, as internal supervision will be minimal. The successful client will be liaising extensively with external legal support.

• Tracking, drafting and formatting legal and general correspondence.

• Assisting in documentation for trusts, foundations, and investment entities.
• Helping maintain up-to-date records of assets, structures, and ownership changes.
• Preparing meeting agendas, summaries and minutes for meetings with Lawyers.

There will be a slightly investigative aspect to the work involved, with a view to collating communication as specific pieces of evidence, as well as setting up foundations and investment company agreements.
