Paralegal and Trainee Solicitors

When you join Helix you’ll join a high-performing and ambitious team working across a variety of legal sectors and industries, helping resolve often complex problems. We will equip you with the fundamentals to start and develop your legal career in litigation and dispute resolution including client contact with support. This will prepare you towards specialising in one of our four teams; Commercial Disputes, Property Disputes, Construction Law or Employment (People and Change).

You will learn fast, be challenged and stretched, but given the opportunity to develop and progress quickly. You will immediately be applying your legal knowledge to resolving disputes ranging from small matters to actively participating by smaller tasks roles in more complex, higher value and complex disputes within a team. You will use a wide variety of processes and systems, technology and automations to assist you, all of which continue to evolve.

We need good people to grow with us.

We are a comparably new and ambitious business offering new team members the opportunity to join us at a hugely exciting time when we are experiencing exponential growth in turnover and attracting a roster of high quality work from an increasingly diverse range of clients.

We don’t pay based on regimented or predestined PQE levels. If you’re an exceptional performer we will recognise that at any level from day one whether in marketing or administration or as a paralegal, trainee, solicitor, or partner.

Lawyers that join us will experience client contact and increasing levels of responsibility based on client service and quality of work. There is no cap or collar to what can be achieved at the firm.

We are an efficient and lean business. We don’t carry overheads that don’t contribute to what we do, the quality of our work or the service we provide to our clients. This means we are able to offer very competitive salaries and benefits.

What You Can Expect

A business led by business people, without politics

Imagine what can be achieved if wasted energy is cut away. We have experienced partnership in other law firms and know the distractions and baggage that exist. We only care about the service you provide to clients and to colleagues, and that you are prepared to give your all to helping us all move forwards together. We’ll do all that we can to assist you.

During the Coronavirus pandemic we haven’t furloughed any staff. We have recruited during this period having interviewed remotely via video conferencing. We continue to need good candidates hungry to push on your own career, and the business.

No cap or fixed salary level

Regardless of level of experience if the service and quality of your work and your billing justify it (in that order), your income potential with Helix is not capped or fixed based on PQE. There is no mould to break out of and if you back yourself we won’t hold anyone back.

Equipment and technology

All staff also receive ‘at least’* dual screens for home office use which have been shown to increase productivity by over 40% (and which we therefore adopted years ago).

*We are currently moving towards providing super wide (curved) monitor screens that have an effective screen size equating to 3x screens to improve working environment and productivity.

We provide enterprise level (best on the market) laptops and equipment, constantly reviewed and updated.

We have worked in the cloud, entirely remotely, for over 11 years. We are also paperless. From day 1 you will have access to processes, systems, equipment, technology and automations, all designed to make your life easier, more efficient in your work, and to improve the quality and consistency clients can expect from Helix.

Transparency

We are as transparent with everyone as we possibly can be on where we are; where we’re heading; and how we plan to get there, which is constantly evolving.

Flexible and remote working

We do have offices and from time to time or on/for specific projects working from an office can be necessary and useful. Equally we are deeply committed to flexible and remote working, and we don’t just say this with passing reference on a ‘one day a week if you’re lucky’ basis. We have hired remotely and multiple team members have and do work from abroad. They can do so seamlessly and remain fully connected; we embrace the global, and digital, economy.

Diverse matters and clientele

We act for a wide range of clients in a wide range of disputes. Our work is increasingly high-quality from an increasingly diverse range of clients based nationally and internationally. We aim to continue hunting for, and winning, local high quality and city level work and relationships.

A dynamic business with budding opportunities

We’re growing fast. There are opportunities for our team to grow with us quickly too. We intend to continue disrupting traditional workflows and winning bigger and more complex clients and disputes.
