About this role

You will join a growing organization that helps clients through divorce proceedings and related family law matters, working as a Paralegal / Legal Case Manager alongside senior team members and attorneys. The role combines legal documentation with client-facing case management. You will manage assigned cases from the first client intake through completion; draft and review agreements, filings, declarations and legal correspondence related to divorce, custody, arbitration and other family law matters; carry out legal research and interpret complex legal language; and keep many active cases moving within their deadlines using trackers and structured filing systems. You will be a main point of contact for clients throughout the life of their case, coordinating with clients, attorneys, opposing parties and internal team members. Many clients are going through emotionally difficult personal circumstances, so you must be able to explain legal documents and procedural requirements in clear, simple language and handle sensitive conversations with empathy, patience and professionalism. The ideal candidate holds an LLB or an equivalent legal qualification and has at least three years of hands-on experience as a paralegal, legal assistant, legal associate, legal executive or legal case manager in a law firm, legal department or legal services organization. Strong legal drafting, familiarity with family law matters, excellent English and the ability to work independently and manage several priorities are essential. Experience supporting U.S.-based law firms or attorneys and familiarity with U.S. legal documentation are an advantage. Purely administrative or customer service backgrounds without a strong legal foundation are not a fit. Training on the organization's own case procedures is provided, so prior experience with them is not required.
