As a Paralegal at NuCAS, you will work closely with both law firm and in house legal teams, delivering a wide range of legal work. The role is varied, and we welcome applicants with a range of experience. The nature of a start-up means that no two days are the same, but you may assist with tasks such as:

As part of a close‑knit team, you’ll have real responsibility from day one, and the opportunity to grow as the business grows. You’ll play an active role in building and influencing a rapidly scaling legal services business, with opportunities for progression.
