Department: CSG - Property (Insurance / Damage / Recoveries / Subsidence)

Description

We are delighted to announce that we are looking for Paralegals to join our recoveries team in Birmingham on a permanent or fixed term contract. You will have an excellent opportunity to develop your legal skills, knowledge and career in our Triage, Motor Recoveries and Property Recoveries teams.

* Our Triage team is key for direct client contact and preliminary assessment of claim prospects.
* Motor Recoveries and Property Recoveries will allow you to develop your technical ability across a number of perils: RTA, impact, escape of water, escape of oil, product liability, defective premises, accidental damage, fire, contribution or enforcement.
* A recovery claim is challenged on a number of grounds including liability, causation and quantum. As part of the small claim centre of excellence, you will progress your own cases through pre-action and litigation. As part of the recoveries (DA) team, you will handle your own caseload of Fast & Multi-Track matters, including liability disputes and a variety of litigated and pre-litigated work. Joining our teams will give you the opportunity to build on your experience, legal knowledge and career within a supportive team and an ambitious firm.

This role will be situated in Birmingham on a permanent basis, where you will be asked to come into the office 5 times a week during your probation period. After successfully passing probation you may move to a hybrid working pattern.



What you will do?

You are expected to provide a timely, professional and high-quality service to our clients in the management of pre-litigated and litigated recovery cases. Depending on your role, and with the support of a supervisor and team manager you will be expected to:

* Screen matters for prospects and liaise with clients upon receipt of instructions.
* Review instructions and provide client advice on case prospects.
* Be responsible for a varied caseload of pre-litigated and litigated work.
* Assess liability and quantum and develop an appropriate strategy for the case.
* Resolve claims through negotiation and litigation within client service standards.
* Instruct experts and counsel, draft Witness Statements and other Court documents.
* Maintain contact with our clients and their Customers whilst proactively managing their expectations.
* Meet individual performance measures (financial performance, realisation rates and other KPIs).
* Ensure that the DAC Beachcroft brand and standards are maintained.



Who you are

We are happy to hear from graduates or those with customer service/retail experience who are team players and have the passion for learning. We'd also like to hear from Paralegals who may already have experience working in a legal environment.

You will have:

* Prioritisation and Organisation Skills - the ability to structure your time well, prioritise work effectively and recognise when to ask for help.
* Interpersonal skills - communication skills to liaise with clients, intermediaries and colleagues on the phone and in person.
* Analytical skills - The ability to critically look at factual evidence, identify key legal arguments and apply the same.
* Commercial sense - The ability to know the principle or law but also know when is it worth pursuing it.
* Resilience - The ability to stand their ground in a telephone negotiation and to receive feedback.
* Commitment and enthusiasm - with a professional attitude.
* Alignment with the Firm’s Cultural Principles (Clear, Creative, Determined and Supportive).



What's in it for you?

* High levels of flexibility and a great work life balance.
* A well-rounded remuneration package (which includes private medical insurance, income protection insurance and discounted gym membership, amongst many other benefits).
* Opportunities for growth and progression including professional funding.
* In person and remote social events.
* Opportunity to get involved in a range of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) activities.

We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, which aligns closely to our cultural principles (Determined, Clear, Creative and Supportive).
