Paralegal

Looking for a Paralegal role where you can take real ownership of your work while developing your experience across a wider range of legal matters?

As our Paralegal at Zuto, you'll join a small, busy in-house Legal team, taking responsibility for your own litigation caseload while supporting the business on commercial, regulatory and governance matters.

This is a great opportunity for someone with an interest or experience in litigation or debt recovery who wants to develop their career within a fast-paced, FCA-regulated business.

What you'll be doing

• Managing your own caseload of small claims, debt recovery and litigation matters, from pre-action through to resolution and enforcement.

• Drafting legal documents, including letters before action, witness statements, court documents and settlement agreements.

• Managing county court claims, preparing hearing bundles and ensuring court deadlines are met.

• Working with external solicitors, courts and internal stakeholders to progress cases and resolve disputes.

• Tracking litigation activity, recoveries and costs while identifying opportunities to improve processes.

• Supporting the wider Legal team with commercial contracts, NDAs and supplier agreements.

• Getting involved in broader regulatory, data protection and governance matters as the business develops.

We're looking for someone who is organised, commercially minded and confident taking ownership, with a genuine interest in developing their legal career.

You'll need:

• A Law degree, CILEx qualification or SQE1/SQE2 passed or in progress.

• Strong legal drafting and written communication skills.

• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage deadlines effectively.

• Confidence communicating with courts, external solicitors and internal stakeholders.

• A practical, commercial approach to problem-solving.

• The flexibility to support different areas of legal work.

Experience in litigation, debt recovery or managing your own caseload would be a big advantage.

Knowledge of the Civil Procedure Rules, county court processes, financial services regulation, FCA requirements or commercial contracts would also be beneficial.
