Konexo is an established alternative legal services division of Eversheds Sutherland, created to meet client demand for high quality, interim legal, HR and compliance professionals. Konexo Legal Resourcing is a well-established and fast growing team created to meet demand for high quality interim lawyers, paralegals and legal project managers to support both clients and internal Eversheds Sutherland teams.

• Expertise in providing support on the property law related aspects of development consent orders (DCOs) and compulsory purchase orders (CPO).
• Previous experience of advising on the property aspects of DCOs and CPOs in relation to utilities infrastructure projects would be ideal, but not essential.

• Excellent technical drafting skills
• A commercial outlook with the ability to prioritise, meet deadlines, problem solve in an innovative manner and work accurately under pressure.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Experience of liaising with external law firm providers and working alongside a range of internal business stakeholders on large projects.

People approach us for a whole range of reasons - they might be seeking a better work-life balance, the ability to develop their legal career whilst also having the time to pursue other interests, or they may simply want a way of working that offers greater control and flexibility that more traditional models don't provide.
• You will have access to high quality work, helping to consolidate on your experience and develop your career.
• We have full time, part time and more flexible ad-hoc hourly opportunities, with many of our roles offering hybrid or remote working.
