‍Job Title: Litigation Paralegal

Salary: £25,000-£27,500 DOE + Company Bonus

The Role in Brief: We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated Litigation Paralegal to join our growing Litigation team and support our fee-earning Solicitors.

The Company: The leading firm in our East Lancs area (Pendle Large Business of the Year 2025), rapidly growing and strategically hiring ahead to fuel this. Recently opened another office in north Manchester.

Full Description:

Most firms just want you to complete admin work – but we expect you to genuinely contribute and grow as a Legal Professional. We also want you to be part of a high-value Litigation team that delivers 5-Star service to its clients.

If you believe client satisfaction, your own personal development and adding genuine value should come ahead of relentless monotony or doing work above your pay-grade… We’re on the same page.

Farnworth Rose are looking for an experienced Litigation Paralegal to join our Litigation team in the Nelson head office. We do not just want an admin assistant; we want a professional who values client experience, technical excellence and helping contribute to a supportive culture internally.

Tired of using your legal brain for dictation and filing? You can add value and grow as a Legal Professional

We know what burns Paralegals out – too many task requests from their Senior Solicitors and not enough admin support to help with an enormous workload - so we’ve built a structure to fix that. This includes,

●       Being close to your clients: Your job will be to focus on the particulars of Case Management and not wider admin duties. You’ll be responsible for helping keep cases on track and clients happy. And we only work on serious Litigation not low value-high volume and ‘no win no fee’ cases.

●       Protected time to focus: We have a dedicated team answering the phones and working on reception so proper focus can happen. You get the space to work properly and not be your own secretary.

●       Confidence and safety: You will have clear responsibility and control over your work, supported by strong processes and an open‑door culture that ensures the team is always available to help. You’ll have the freedom to manage your tasks independently, while still feeling fully supported.

Real Career Mobility

We don’t believe in dead ends. We have a proven internal talent stream and ambitious growth targets as a business - this means that we plan to grow quickly and need our team to grow with us. 

Growth for you as an individual doesn’t have to mean taking on more responsibilities or workload, it can be developing further skills or helping to develop colleagues.

Whether you want to advance in Litigation or pivot into Commercial, Residential, Employment, Family or Wills and Probate, cross-departmental growth is encouraged at Farnworth Rose.
