Debt Recovery Paralegal
Salary up to £34,000 per annum
Quarterly bonus scheme
A specialist litigation law firm is looking to appoint a Debt Recovery Paralegal to join its growing Local Authority Recoveries team in Liverpool or Wigan. This is an opportunity to join a well-established niche practice with a strong reputation in debt recovery and commercial litigation, acting for a large portfolio of local authority clients across England and Wales.
This role would suit a paralegal with experience in litigation, debt recovery, or commercial disputes, or someone with transferable contentious experience looking to retrain into a specialist recoveries environment. You will join a busy, supportive team handling a varied caseload and working closely with experienced solicitors on high-volume and often complex recovery matters.
