"

We are looking for a talented, creative and confident Paralegal to work in our Group Legal & Company Secretary team. You must have a passion for law and a curiosity for learning.

Candidates who demonstrate exceptional performance in the role will have an opportunity to undertake a training contract / qualifying work experience (under the SQE) with us, alongside completing the pre-requisite, post-graduate qualifications (funded by Admiral).

Main Duties

  • Working with business teams across the Group under the supervision of Group Legal to provide support on a variety of legal issues.
  • Assisting with the review, drafting and execution of a wide range of commercial agreements and legal documents.
  • Adopting a proactive approach to managing legal operations to help establish, evaluate and improve processes.
  • Being a point of contact for ad-hoc legal queries and ensuring that requests are addressed in a timely manner.
  • Organising and managing legal matters.
  • Assisting with maintaining our company books and company secretarial duties.
  • Helping to manage legal spend and working with external providers.
  • Assisting with general administrative duties when required.

Key Skills, Experience and Qualifications

  • A minimum of a 2.1 in an English law degree or a non-law degree (but having received at least a minimum of a Commendation in the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL)).
  • An appetite to qualify as a solicitor practising in England and Wales and commitment to the high standards and effort required to study and train.
  • Previous experience of working in a law firm, in-house legal department or financial services firm is desirable.
  • Passion for the law and learning – you must have a genuine interest in the law and a curiosity to learn and apply what you have learnt in what you do. 
  • Outstanding communication skills – you make the complex simple, concise and digestible.
  • Meticulous attention to detail, but you have a bias to action and get stuff done.
  • The ability to operate independently and effectively in a dynamic environment and to navigate amid uncertainty.
  • A can-do, problem-solving attitude – solving the problem is just as important as identifying the risk.
  • Friendly and approachable, with a desire to contribute to the Admiral culture.

Please note - we may close this vacancy early if we receive lots of applications or business priorities change.

Location

This is a hybrid working role that requires the successful candidate to attend our Cardiff office 2-3 times per week.
