Corporate Paralegal with Fluent Mandarin Language Skills - Manchester, United Kingdom - Addleshaw Goddard
Description
THE FIRM
We stand out for our consistently excellent advice: we provide technical excellence, experience and crucially, we demonstrate real insight into our clients and what matters to them. Our knowledge of our chosen sectors and markets, and our investment in our client relationships set us apart. We are a natural choice for FTSE100 and other high profile clients.
THE TEAM
Launched in 2010, our well-established, high performing and busy Transaction Services Team (TST) help Addleshaw Goddard deliver a world class service to its clients. We were the first team of its kind in the UK, and continue to innovate by delivering work in the most efficient way, saving our clients time and money. We are now one of the Firm's biggest groups, with our team being made up of apprentices, paralegals, managers and solicitors.
Our team members focus on tasks that are found in a wide variety of legal assignments but which do not necessarily need to be done by qualified lawyers, including process elements of transactional, advisory and contentious work. We are supported by the use of technology and play a key role in enabling Addleshaw Goddard to respond to client demand for more innovative and better value services.
Aside from a competitive salary and flexible benefits package, you'll get fantastic opportunities to support some of the UK's largest businesses, as well as the potential for exciting internal and client secondments. With our focus on continuous development and progression, we created a career development framework and training programme specifically for the TST. As part of that framework you'll have the opportunity to have a career conversation every 4 months to ensure we're supporting you to meet your development goals and to discuss your progression. In addition, you'll have access to our internal training contract application process, legal qualification sponsorship and management or technical development programmes.
THE ROLE
The work that comes into the team is varied. Each member of our team is assigned to one of the group aligned subteams. Whilst predominantly carrying out work for your subteam, you can expect to work on a variety of assignments from across all of the Firm's groups, which gives you a good insight into the workings of a commercial law firm.
We seek to support the Corporate teams across all offices and are specifically looking for candidates with both Mandarin language skills and Corporate experience to support our Singapore office remotely from Manchester. Whilst we'd look to deploy the successful candidate in this way, we envisage them getting plenty of experience from the Corporate teams in the UK offices too.
The specific Corporate assignments you will be working on can include the following:
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE REQUIRED (BESPOKE TO ROLE)
Due to the dynamic nature of the work we do and the clients we seek to serve, the role is not an ordinary "9-5" job. For the right person, this role provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to our proven success by utilising a wide set of skills essential to a career in the TST.
Any successful applicant will need the following skills and competencies:
At least 1 year's previous experience in a Corporate paralegal role is essential. Candidates must also have fluent mandarin language skills.
AG is an equal opportunity employer and we do not discriminate on the basis of a person's gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or any other protected characteristic. We are committed to having a diverse team and actively encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds and communities, particularly those from underrepresented demographics.
