We have an exciting new opportunity for a Paralegal to join our highly regarded Private Wealth team in either our Bristol or London office on a full time, permanent basis.

The Practice

Osborne Clarke's Private Wealth team covers all the areas that you might expect from private client lawyers, such as wills, lasting powers of attorney, trusts, probate, deputyship and family investment companies. However, working with colleagues in Osborne Clarke's wider teams, the Private Wealth team also helps form private investment funds, find the optimal structure for a new business venture or investment and support family office arrangements.
