The type of work undertaken by our Dispute Resolution Team includes property disputes, partnership disputes, contract disputes and general litigation.

About the role

You’ll work closely with our lawyers, supporting them on live cases from the first client contact right through to resolution. It’s varied, hands-on work, and you’ll see how your contribution makes a real difference to clients, who are often dealing with stressful situations.

• support the lawyers with a wide range of administrative and legal tasks

What we’re looking for

• Excellent written English and good numeracy; Welsh language skills would be useful for the Conwy role
• Confidence using Microsoft Word and IT systems
• Strong organisation and time management, with a sharp eye for detail
• The ability to stay calm and prioritise in a busy environment
• A friendly, professional manner
• Previous legal or office experience is helpful but not essential

Why join us

We’re an independent firm with more than 200 people across six offices, and we’re proud of our roots in the communities we serve. You’ll join a supportive team where you can learn quickly, and we’ll invest in your development with clear routes for progression, whether you want to grow as a legal support professional or move towards a career as a lawyer.

Lanyon Bowdler offers a number of benefits – some of which are, an initial 25 days annual leave, plus Bank Holidays, increasing with service to a maximum of 33 days, plus Bank Holidays.
