We are working with a well-established Glasgow-based law firm seeking an experienced Debt Recovery Paralegal to join its busy and growing team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a paralegal who thrives in a high-volume, process-driven environment and is confident managing their own caseload.

The Role
You will be responsible for managing a high volume of debt recovery matters, primarily relating to property factor work (such as unpaid service charges), progressing cases efficiently from initial instruction through to decree.

The work is structured and system-led, with clear processes in place to support effective case management.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing a high-volume caseload of debt recovery matters
  • Issuing statutory and 7-day demand letters
  • Raising and progressing Simple Procedure actions
  • Applying for decrees/judgments and court orders
  • Ensuring all actions are progressed in line with strict timelines and internal processes
  • Maintaining accurate records using case management systems

You can expect to handle circa 30–40 actions per week, working within a consistent and well-organised workflow.

About You

  • Previous experience in debt recovery or civil litigation
  • Experience managing your own caseload independently
  • Exposure to high-volume, process-driven work environments
  • Familiarity with Scottish court procedures
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage deadlines effectively

This role is well suited to someone who enjoys structured work, is detail-oriented, and can handle a steady flow of similar cases efficiently.
