Does your interest lie in using your legal knowledge to help and advise? Would you like to work more with people perhaps a little less with contracts?
This leading company with a blue chip reputation strong presence around the UK is constantly evolving and has a need for additional legal support for its customer advisory team.
What We Offer
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a lawyer to join the advisory team of this well-respected consumer members organisation. The role is all about offering advice, often of a consumer nature but also relating to employment and sometimes wills and probate matters - you won’t need to advise on all these areas, but if you are an employment lawyer looking for an advisory role, or a wills and probate lawyer looking to do less drafting and more advising, as well as perhaps a more generalist lawyer or barrister or even paralegal with an interest and some knowledge of consumer law, then this could be exactly what you are looking for.
What We Need
We need lawyers, barristers, CILEX professionals or paralegals to join our client’s legal advice centre. The legal advisory team is 20 legal professionals in total and we are looking for additional legal professionals with consumer, litigation, employment, wills & probate or generalist experience to join or advisory team. You will take questions and queries from our members, mostly relating to consumer matters but sometimes more specialist legal advice will be required. You will provide advice often right away but sometimes you’ll need to research and come back to members at a later date. Key is an ability to communicate and work with people, answering queries across a range of matters.
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for legal professionals who enjoy working with people and who are perhaps looking for a new way to utilise their legal knowledge. The majority of the advice you provide to our members will be provided over the phone and as a result, you will need to demonstrate excellent communication skills. A broad legal background is also key.
The Detail
If you would like to move away from documents and transactions and utilise your skills by providing legal support and advice on a daily basis, then we’d like to hear from you. You will enjoy contained hours (9am - 5pm) and an excellent rewards package including 28 days annual leave.
This is an excellent opportunity for a legal professional to utilise experience and knowledge in a fast-paced, advisory capacity - no drafting required!
