Jefferies is seeking an experienced Paralegal to join its Investment Banking Legal team in London. The successful candidate will have significant experience gained at a leading international law firm, financial institution, or corporate.

 

This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic, fast-growing business with exposure to high-value, cross-border transactions. The Paralegal will report directly to the EMEA General Counsel and will play a key role in supporting the Investment Banking legal team in its day-to-day advisory and transactional work.

Assistant Parliamentary Counsel (APCs) assist in all aspects of the Office’s work with a view to being able to take the lead on a Bill once they are promoted to the grade of Deputy Director (see further below).

​

APCs are supervised in their work, with the level of supervision reducing as they grow in expertise and experience, but will be responsible for drafting legislation from the beginning of their time in the Office. Although one drafter generally takes the lead on each Bill, and the First Parliamentary Counsel (the head of the Office) and team leaders oversee the work, the Office is a collaborative and non-hierarchical environment in which all contributions are welcome. APCs, working alongside a more experienced drafter, may be drafting deeply complex or controversial provisions from their very first day.

​

The main tasks of an APC are:

• To assist in drafting Bills which are effective, clearly written and well-structured (by both drafting and reviewing the work of other drafters);

• To work with officials across Government to ensure that the process of Bill preparation, publication and Parliamentary handling is handled effectively and efficiently;

• To provide advice to Government departments on parliamentary procedure;

• To review, draft and advise on some subordinate legislation;

• To contribute to the training and development of other drafters, departmental lawyers, policy advisers and members of Bill teams (who coordinate work on a Bill)

We have an exciting opportunity for a senior lawyer to join our legal team as a Head of Legal and Enforcement.

 

• Work for a cutting-edge legal regulator at an exciting time; developing our regulatory approach through work on novel and high-profile cases

• Lead a team of legal professionals to deliver high quality legal advice and casework, ensuring outcomes that meet the public interest

• Play a key part in developing and maintaining high standards of decision-making and case progression across the SRA  

• Demonstrate your expert professional judgment and legal knowledge through personal conduct of the most serious and complex cases  

​

The role

The Legal and Enforcement team deals with contentious matters before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and the High Court. It also gives advice and case direction internally on a range of issues to our investigation and other regulatory teams. Reporting into the Director, you will lead a team of up to 15 legal professionals and work collaboratively with other Heads of Legal and Enforcement to deliver high quality casework in a contentious regulatory environment.

 

With oversight of highly complex and high-profile investigations and prosecutions, you will be accountable for cases, ensuring cases are investigated and progressed effectively and that decisions and outcomes are achieved in the public interest and in line with the SRA’s Enforcement Strategy. You will achieve this through handling and overseeing cases as well as providing and overseeing case direction to regulatory teams across the SRA.

 

You will lead and support teams of lawyers and investigators to make consistent and appropriate decisions, by sharing your expertise to promote a high-performance culture. You will demonstrate your ability to quickly analyse and absorb information, focusing on the salient facts and issues, weighing evidence and issues to reach timely, fair, clear and reasoned judgments.

There are 150 vacancies for Fee-paid Judge of the First-tier Tribunal, with vacancies across all 7 chambers. Tribunals often sit as panels consisting of a legally qualified chair (the judge) and non-legal members with specific areas of expertise. During the hearing the judge must ensure that the overriding objective (to deal with cases fairly and justly) is observed, which will include all parties having the opportunity to participate in proceedings as fully and fairly as possible. Many cases involve individuals putting their own case forward without legal assistance. The judge should therefore help ensure the system is accessible to all by guiding parties through the procedures appropriately. Except in cases that involve national security or evidence of a very personal nature, substantive final hearings in tribunal cases are held in public.

 

There are  50 vacancies for Fee-paid Judge of the Employment Tribunals (England and Wales). Employment judges in England and Wales preside over Employment Tribunals, the jurisdiction of which involves a wide range of workplace disputes involving claims against employers, individuals, trade unions, professional and regulatory bodies.
