Job details
Due to further expansion of the practice, Nicholas Quinn Solicitors is looking to recruit a Legal Executive/paralegal.
Hybrid working is available, along with the possibility of flexible working hours.
The firm proudly represents children and their families in respect of both education law and health and social care law for disabled children and, on occasions, adults.
Nicholas Quinn Solicitors is the only such firm in Northern Ireland that exclusively acts in children’s law cases. As a result, the work it does is niche and specialist.
Experience in a legal aid practice is highly desirable. Experience with the Legal Services Agency LAMS system is also preferable.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You will be required to conduct matters in the following areas on behalf of clients in a timely and cost-effective manner:
- Advising and assisting clients with legal representations to the Education Authority and Health and Social Care Trusts, and other public bodies.
- Representation before the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal.
- Attendance at seminars and lectures in the furtherance of the practice’s aims.
About You
You will need to:
- Have strong technical knowledge, excellent communication skills, and the ability to build strong client relationships. IT skills also desirable.
- Have a commitment to delivering an excellent client service.
- Have a full driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
- Ideally have experience with Legal Aid work and LAMS in particular.
- The ability to administer a case from instruction to completion is essential with a sound knowledge of children’s law and disability law.
