Business Crime Paralegal

An exceptional opportunity has arisen for a Paralegal to join the rapidly growing Professional Misconduct team within the Business Crime & Regulation department at our client’s London office.

This is a full-time, office-based position offering exposure to high-quality work from day one, with real potential for career progression for the right candidate. While the role is primarily based in the office, flexible working arrangements can be discussed where appropriate.

As a Paralegal in this specialist team, you will work closely with lawyers across a broad range of cases. From interacting with clients and conducting legal research to preparing case materials and supporting senior solicitors, this is a varied and engaging position. The team handles both regulatory misconduct matters involving serving police officers and defence work in general and serious criminal cases.

You’ll be joining a supportive environment that values development, collaboration, and a proactive mindset.

Some of the benefits include:

• A minimum of 25 days’ annual leave, increasing with length of service, plus office closure between Christmas and New Year
• SMART pension scheme, private medical insurance, income protection, and health-related perks
• Early finish at 4pm on the last Friday of each month
• A wide range of social events, sports teams, and employee clubs

Key responsibilities:

• Supporting the legal team with client interaction, research, task management, and document preparation
• Building strong professional relationships with clients, counsel, experts, and legal professionals
• Assisting with preparation for police and regulatory interviews

We’re looking for someone with strong organisation and communication skills, a proactive approach, and a genuine interest in criminal and regulatory law. Legal research skills and IT proficiency are essential.

It would be ideal (though not essential) if you also have:

• Previous experience in criminal law
• Knowledge of anti-money laundering, criminal finance, bribery, or corruption law
• Police station accreditation or experience with regulatory/police interviews

If this opportunity sounds like the right fit for you, I’d be happy to talk it through in more detail. Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss or explore the next steps.
