First Response - Legal Advice

About The Role

We have an exciting new opportunity for a Paralegal to join our friendly Legal Advice team in either our Bristol or Bedwas offices. In this interesting and varied role, the successful candidate will be handling legal queries from customers on a range of areas. This will entail establishing the facts of the customer’s legal issues, providing advice on the applicable law and setting out the legal and/or practical options available to the customer whilst reviewing sources of funding and alternative resolution solutions.  

We are looking for individuals who have a passion for going the extra mile to ensure good customer outcomes, and it is key that you can demonstrate excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

About You

The ideal candidate will be able to pro-actively identify both issues and potential solutions, take ownership of the process, and follow the correct process to resolve any concerns that may be raised by customers in a timely manner. You will be personable, enjoy working in a team environment and motivated to go the extra mile for our customers.

Whilst extremely rewarding, due to the nature of our customers’ concerns the role can occasionally be challenging and candidates should be resilient and motivated to provide a high quality performance in what can be a busy environment.


We are looking for experience and skills in the following areas:


Legal Executive, LPC/BVC/LLB graduate (or currently studying)
Good practical and/or academic knowledge of Employment, Property, Consumer Law as well as the ability to learn and advise on other legal issues affecting customers such as Family, Wills and Probate, Landlord and Tenant and Commercial Law.
Concise and honest manner, whilst ensuring sensitivity and empathy to both customer and business partners.


As a team we are passionate and enthusiastic about what we do. Our people are encouraged to think independently and to take ownership of their work. You will be agile in the way that you work and adaptable to change. In return for your commitment we will offer you generous remuneration and an attractive benefits package, including:


25 days holiday 
Company pension scheme 
The option to join our Sports and Social club which organises discounted events such as theatre visits, wine tasting and shopping trips
Progressive career pathway and development opportunities
Employee reward and incentive scheme
Group Income Protection for all employees
Group Legal Protection for all employees
A choice of either European Motor Assistance or Home Emergency Assistance
Inclusion in our Health Cash plan
Salary sacrifice benefits including Cycle scheme 
Access to our employee discounts hub offering exclusive discounts across thousands of retail partners, including discounted gym memberships at over 3,000 gyms across the UK


Whilst this is a full-time position, at DAS we want to support our people to achieve a work-life balance that works for them. We support flexible working and are happy to discuss flexible working options.


If you think you would be a good match for this role and can demonstrate some transferable experience please apply, regardless of whether you meet all the criteria listed above.

About The Company

DAS UK Group has been helping businesses and individuals get access to justice for over 40 years. Our businesses include a legal expenses insurance company and a law firm.

We have historically focussed on delivering legal services to customers solely via our Legal Expenses Insurance products, which provides a steady workload of litigated cases in areas such as;

  • Personal Injury
  • Litigation & Dispute Management
  • Employment
  • Business & Commercial

We believe these are exciting times for DAS Law as part of the wider DAS UK Group and we are looking for likeminded individuals who share our ambition to make our high quality legal solutions accessible and affordable. ‘Doing the right thing’ is central to our behaviour – from building  trust, being accountable, creating good customer outcomes is at the heart of everything that we do which we believe drives performance.

You can expect to join an organisation that will challenge and develop you to progress your career in ways that traditional law firms cannot. We are also committed to supporting continued professional development and promote both internal Training Contracts and alternative routes to qualification (CILEX).

By giving you every opportunity to develop yourself professionally and personally, we also pride ourselves on having an open, inclusive and high energy culture that encourages a fun working environment and places our customers at the very heart of everything we do.

If you are keen to become part of our exciting future then we would love to hear from you. In addition to the very genuine development opportunities we provide we also offer a generous reward and benefits package.
