The Firm Witan Solicitors is a specialist litigation firm based in Birmingham. We handle complex, high-value disputes across civil litigation, commercial law, insolvency, employment and family law often in the High Court. We’re a small, focused team, so everyone is hands-on and close to the work. The Role We’re hiring a Civil & Commercial Litigation Case Handler (Senior Paralegal) to strengthen our litigation delivery team. This is a high-responsibility role for someone who can run matters day-to-day (with appropriate supervision), progress files quickly, and produce strong drafting under the Civil Procedure Rules. This is bespoke, multi-track civil/commercial litigation. It is not a high-volume, template-driven claims environment. You will be expected to use initiative, take ownership, and add value fast. Key Responsibilities • Manage a caseload of civil and commercial litigation matters (with supervision appropriate to experience), • Draft high-quality correspondence, advice notes, research memos and procedural documents, • Work confidently with CPR: deadlines, directions, compliance, and applications support, • Assist with (and where capable, draft) pleadings and application documents (Particulars/Defence, witness evidence, exhibits), • Prepare court bundles, chronologies, and disclosure workflows, • Maintain excellent file hygiene: deadlines, case plans, and next-step actions, • Identify and execute billing points consistently (WIP → bills → cash discipline), • Support and guide junior paralegals/trainees with litigation tasks and workflow, • Contribute to improving templates, checklists, and “how we do it at Witan” processes What We’re Looking For We cannot offer a “learning from zero” environment. You should already have: • Proven experience as a paralegal/case handler in civil/commercial litigation, • Working familiarity with CPR and litigation process from start to finish, • Strong drafting ability (bespoke correspondence, procedural steps, structured advice), • Confidence managing deadlines and progressing multiple matters at pace, • High attention to detail and pride in quality, • Professional client communication and calmness under pressure, • Proficiency with Word/Outlook and comfort using case management systems Education / Training (Preferred) This role is open to strong candidates from different routes. The following is welcomed (but not required if you have the right experience): • Law degree (LLB or equivalent), • LPC / SQE1 / SQE2 / BPTC (or equivalent), • Candidates on a route to qualification or pupillage are welcome provided you can demonstrate real civil/commercial litigation capability and strong drafting skills. Traits That Matter Here • Self-motivated and accountable (no micromanagement), • Proactive and solutions-focused (you bring recommendations, not just problems), • Organised, resilient, and commercially aware, • Team-first mindset aligned with our values: positivity, respect, communication, professionalism Benefits • Competitive salary (DOE), • 30 days’ annual leave including Bank Holidays, • High-quality litigation exposure and real responsibility, • Clear progression for strong performers, • Supportive, high-standard team with structured supervision, • Opportunity to help build and shape how the litigation team runs Location Birmingham (office-based).
