We’re Octopus Legacy: one of the fastest growing tech companies in the country, part of the UK’s most exciting and best-trusted group (you may have heard of some of our sister companies…) and we have a mission.
We’re on a path to scale, aiming to become a household name while transforming a long-established industry and helping our customers prepare for, and find support after, death.
But we can’t do it alone, and that’s why we’re assembling a team of top performers to build with us.
Ready to be part of something big?
As a Graduate Paralegal – Will Drafter, you'll play a key role in helping to prepare precise, legally sound estate planning documents, learning how to ensure clarity, compliance, and accuracy at every stage. Working alongside our experienced legal and estate planning teams, you'll develop a deep understanding of will-writing while supporting clients through what can often be a complex and emotive process.
Beyond drafting, you'll be part of a forward-thinking team driving innovation in estate planning. We foster a dynamic, supportive environment where curiosity, adaptability, and ambition are valued. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate to build the foundations of a long-term legal career, with full training, mentorship, and genuine scope to grow with the business.
Our Mission
Octopus Legacy is the place to plan for death and find support after loss. When people think about planning for death they think about wills, life insurance and funerals. We take these cold processes and turn them into something more human. Share more than money: leave voice notes, music, recipes. Shape a legacy that connects you while you're here. And after you're gone.
Founded by Sam after his mum died suddenly, we’re a group of people who work in death because we’ve been affected by it. We know the difference a good plan makes, and what it’s like when there isn’t one.
Death can come between us, leaving mess, legal fees, frustration. But it can also make us stronger. We see a world where people talk openly about death, and work out the real meaning of legacy, one that connects to them. We’re here to make that world happen.
We know that to be truly innovative, we need to have a diverse team around us. That is why Octopus Legacy is committed to creating an inclusive environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
