I’m working with a well-regarded law firm in Kent that’s looking to bring in an experienced Legal Executive or Paralegal to join their established Court of Protection team. This is a great opportunity for someone with a background in Private Client or Court of Protection work who’s looking for a role with real client involvement and responsibility.
\n
\nWhat’s nice about this position is the nature of the work itself. It’s very client-focused and requires a genuinely empathetic approach, so it would suit someone who enjoys building relationships and making a difference through the work they do.
\n
\nThe role itself
\nYou’ll be part of a respected Court of Protection team, supporting on a range of matters and taking an active role in client care. Your responsibilities will include:

\n\t
• Building and maintaining relationships with clients and referrers
\n\t
• Managing client care from initial instruction through to file closure
\n\t
• Handling the financial aspects of matters
\n\t
• Maintaining strict confidentiality of client and firm information
\n\t
• Supporting the wider team with duties as required
\n

There may also be occasional client visits, so some travel will be involved.
\n

What you’ll get in return
