A well-regarded London law firm is looking for a Paralegal to join its Real Estate Finance team.
This is a lovely opportunity for someone who wants to build experience in property finance within a smaller, partner-led environment, rather than feeling like a small cog in a much larger banking or real estate machine. The work will still be high quality and commercially interesting, but the team is likely to offer much more direct exposure, responsibility and day-to-day contact with senior lawyers.
The firm acts for a broad range of clients across real estate and property finance, including lenders, investors, developers, companies and private clients. The team advises on matters involving property-backed lending, refinancing, security documentation, development finance and wider commercial property transactions.
The successful candidate will be supporting a partner and the wider team with a mix of legal and transactional work. This is likely to include preparing and reviewing transaction documents, assisting with title due diligence, managing conditions precedent, dealing with searches and Land Registry matters, liaising with clients and other parties, keeping matters moving towards completion and providing general support across busy property finance transactions.
This would suit someone who is organised, detail-focused and interested in real estate finance, property transactions and the way funding sits behind property deals.
Previous paralegal experience in real estate, residential or commercial property, conveyancing, banking, finance or property finance would be helpful, although the most important thing will be a strong work ethic, good attention to detail and a genuine interest in this area.
The role offers the chance to work closely with an experienced partner, gain proper hands-on transactional experience and develop within a friendly, professional and commercially focused law firm environment.
For someone looking to move away from a very high-volume conveyancing environment, or for a paralegal keen to build more specialist property finance experience, this could be a really strong next step.
