In-House Paralegal

Your new Company

A fantastic world leading supplier of materials with a broad portfolio of products from leading brands with a presence across multiple countries is looking to recruit an ambitious and diligent in-house paralegal for their Bristol office to support and report directly to the Group General Counsel.

Your new role

In your brand-new position as an in-house paralegal, you will be playing a critical role supporting the Group General Counsel with a range of varying tasks, such as: performing legal research, preparing relevant documents, contract management, insurance, risk management along with administrative duties. You will also be expected to be aware of updates and changes in laws, regulations and industry trends, relevant to the company operations.
