The vacancy
Moore Barlow is currently seeking a Paralegal to join and support our leading (Tier 1 - Legal 500) Corporate Team, based in Southampton.
We are different - although a Top 100 Law firm, we strive to be 'Human First' in everything we do. This means we truly care about our teams as well as our clients.
Our Corporate Team provides advice and support to a range of clients, from owner-managed businesses and SMEs to large PLCs looking to lower their legal costs. Our client base comprises a wide variety of sectors, including TMT, financial services, healthcare, and life sciences.
We are currently seeking a Paralegal with drive and enthusiasm to join our leading team. You will support other fee earners on a caseload of mixed corporate matters (including mergers, acquisitions & disposals, MBOs & MBIs, and private equity) while supporting the Partners with higher-value and more complex instructions.
More about us:
Formed via a merger in 2020, Moore Barlow is a leading law firm with an aim to be the best law firm to work for regionally. We are a career firm, providing access to high-quality work, long-term career opportunities and an environment built on the premise of being “human first” in everything we do.

Day-to-day:
Navigating complex corporate and commercial matters requires both precision and insight. At Moore Barlow, our primary objective is to provide solutions that align with our clients' business goals. A key aspect of this process is evaluating potential outcomes and offering clear, pragmatic advice. Our team prides itself on taking a calm and strategic approach, ensuring that clients are guided toward the most effective resolutions.
Our Paralegals are a crucial part of the Corporate and Commercial team, handling a blend of chargeable and non-chargeable tasks. They support other senior fee earners on intricate legal matters while also managing their own caseload. This includes fee-earning responsibilities and broader tasks such as contributing to marketing and business development, writing articles, conducting legal research, providing LinkedIn insights, and maintaining databases. Paralegals also help organise networking events, fostering valuable client relationships and enhancing the firm’s presence in the corporate sector.
What We Are Looking For
We are seeking someone who is open, flexible, and excited about learning new things. We are a dynamic team who look for the same. You may be a law graduate seeking to kick-start your career in the industry, or a Paralegal seeking a fresh challenge. You should have a passion for excellent client service.
