Job Description

An excellent opportunity for an ambitious Emirati law graduate or junior legal professional to develop their career with a leading international law firm in Dubai.

Inspire Selection is recruiting a Paralegal on behalf of a highly respected international law firm.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career in private practice, gaining hands-on experience across different areas of law while working alongside experienced legal professionals.

The firm offers a structured development environment, with Paralegals typically rotating between practice areas every six months. This provides valuable exposure to different types of legal work and the opportunity to develop a broad range of skills.

We are open to applications from strong recent law graduates, as well as candidates who already have some paralegal or legal experience.

The Role

Working as part of the firm's Dubai legal team, you will support lawyers and other fee earners on a variety of legal matters, including:

  • Assisting with the preparation, drafting and review of legal documents.

  • Supporting lawyers on transactions and other client matters.

  • Coordinating documentation and managing transaction-related requirements.

  • Assisting with transaction completion and post-completion matters.

  • Liaising with clients, lawyers and colleagues across the firm's international offices.

  • Managing your own workload and ensuring accuracy and attention to detail.

About You

We are looking for someone who has:

  • UAE Nationality with a Family Book – essential.

  • An LLB or equivalent legal qualification.

  • Strong Arabic and English communication skills.

  • Ideally some paralegal experience, legal internships or other relevant legal exposure, although strong recent graduates are encouraged to apply.

  • Excellent attention to detail, organisational skills and a willingness to learn.

  • A genuine interest in developing a long-term career in private practice.

  • The ability to work in Dubai.

Candidates who are already pursuing the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), or who have a clear intention to do so, will be particularly attractive.

What's on Offer?

  • Salary of AED 21,000–23,000 per month, with some flexibility for candidates with substantial relevant experience.

  • The opportunity to join a well-established international law firm.

  • Exposure to different legal practice areas through regular rotations.

  • Hands-on experience working alongside experienced lawyers on a variety of matters.

  • Structured training, mentoring and professional development.

  • A supportive, collaborative and international working environment.

Interested?

If you are a UAE National with a legal qualification and are looking for an opportunity to develop your career with an international law firm, we would love to hear from you.
