Lawfront provides legal services to individuals and businesses through leading regional law firms - Farleys, Fisher Jones Greenwood, Brachers, Slater Heelis and Nelsons.
We are currently going through an exciting period of positive change and growth, which is resulting in a number of fantastic opportunities across the group.
Currently, we are seeking an experienced legal professional to assist within our national Professional Standards team, predominately focusing on checking and reviewing the files of our fee earners across the group.
This role could appeal to an experienced Paralegal or a Fee Earner (Solicitor or Legal Executive) who is seeking a move away from day-to-day client work but still wants to remain within a legally focused role.
We would be open to someone taking this role on a full- or part-time basis, and this could be based from any of our group offices, or indeed remotely from home.
The role will include:
- Checking the contents of the file, ensuring the matter is being run correctly and in a timely manner
- Checking for source of funds
- Conducting scheduled and ad hoc reviews of files
- Ensuring adherence to regulatory obligations, including SRA Regulations and Lexcel standards
- Identifying and reporting on trends in common errors and compliance risks
- Providing constructive feedback to fee earners on areas requiring attention
- Collaborating with department heads to provide feedback and recommendations for training
- Contributing to internal training initiatives by identifying areas where legal teams need additional guidance.
- Assisting in developing and refining internal best practice guidelines for file management and compliance
- Supporting the firm's risk management framework by providing insights into emerging risks
- Monitoring adherence to internal file management standards, including record-keeping and billing
The role is vital for maintaining high standards of legal practice and mitigating risks within the group to ensure success in our annual Lexcel audit.
