Vacant job

Independent and driven paralegal sought for a small, specialized law firm focusing on family law. The role is central to the operation and characterized by great freedom under responsibility. For the right person, this is a significant opportunity to manage their own work, plan their time, and largely work remotely. At the same time, this means that very high demands are placed on independence, structure, and competence. You will not have colleagues in a corresponding role and need to be confident in making your own decisions in daily work, and enjoy working independently to a large extent.

The firm works with family law with a particular focus on children and separations, as well as crimes in close relationships. The work involves complex and often time-pressured cases, including international cases concerning child custody and economic family law. The operation is characterized by high demands for quality, precision, and professional judgment.

You will take on the role of the lawyer's right hand in daily work and need to have a very good work capacity and stress resilience. You are expected to independently translate verbal instructions into correct, well-balanced, and effective work.

From the start, a leading responsibility for routines, structure, and organization is included. Therefore, you should be confident in your competence and not be afraid to express your opinions and thoughts. You have the ability to handle rapid changes with order and good judgment.

You should have a strong interest in children's rights, family relationships, and alternative conflict resolution models. This is because we as a firm strive to actively drive these social issues in the right direction. You will help shape the firm's brand and operations and have both the opportunity and ability to let your role grow and change in line with the company.
