New Legal Assistant role in Birmingham

Your new company

We are recruiting on behalf of a respected housing association for a Legal Assistant with a strong foundation in civil litigation and a passion for supporting communities through effective legal practice.

Your new role

In this role, you will be responsible for preparing claim forms, pleadings, and witness statements for civil injunctions and possession claims in the County Court. Solid drafting skills are essential, as you’ll be expected to produce clear, persuasive legal documents that stand up to scrutiny. You’ll also provide legal advice to our internal client on a range of housing management issues, with a particular emphasis on anti-social behaviour cases.

Your work will involve liaising with barristers and external counsel, ensuring they are fully briefed and supported throughout the litigation process. Additionally, you’ll offer administrative support by preparing hearing and trial bundles, helping to ensure cases are well-organised and efficiently managed.

What you'll need to succeed

We’re looking for someone with excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong organisational abilities, and the capacity to manage a varied caseload while meeting competing deadlines. Ideally, you’ll have previous experience in a civil litigation environment, with exposure to civil drafting and a working knowledge of the Civil Procedure Rules.

What you'll get in return

This is a temporary job based in Birmingham. The rate of pay for this job is £17.74 premium rate per hour, which is paid on a weekly basis.
