THE DIVISION

Our Real Estate Division acts for NHS organisations, local government, independent health and social care providers, emergency services providers and primary healthcare providers (GPs, dentists and pharmacists). We are consistently ranked in the top tier in the Legal 500 and Chambers UK directories for Healthcare and our expertise sets us apart from the competition. Our purpose is to deliver results that matter, and our mission is to be the firm of choice for organisations who work to make a difference. We are committed to putting people first, doing the right thing and forward thinking.

The quality and breadth of work that we carry out is extremely wide. Whilst we work in specialist sectors, the fundamentals of property law still of course apply. This means we deal with significant volumes of development work (for example in relation to new hospital and health centre developments as well as major Local Government regeneration schemes), landlord and tenant, asset management and major land sales. We also have a dedicated, specialist property litigation and primary care teams.

We look to recruit future trainees from our pool of paralegals. Tthis means we are always looking for good paralegals who are willing to learn and develop in some of the most politically sensitive and exciting sectors to be involved in.

As a result, we want to ensure that our paralegals gain as much practical, hands on experience across all of our client types as possible. None of our paralegal team are sitting at their desks and carrying out mundane tasks. The whole team is actively engaged in real, substantive work for real clients, many of whom are household names carrying out vital public services. Several of our paralegals are on long term client secondments which is another fantastic way to develop experience. We have a very strong track record of developing our own people all the way through from paralegals and trainees to partners and we plan to continue with this!

We achieve this by ensuring that our paralegals are supported from day 1 both in all their day to day work (via supervision) but also via our highly developed Learning and Development programme, with a full schedule of training events, and our specialist Divisional Manual, with an extensive range of precedents to help all our team to produce consistently high quality work

MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITES

The main role and responsibilities may include some or all of the following (although this is not an exhaustive list):

• Case management and case progression, supervised by our Associates, Legal Directors and Partners;
• Supporting our Associates, Legal Directors and Partners with all types of legal work including major capital developments, commercial regeneration schemes, land sales and landlord and tenant work;
• Drafting all types of legal documents;
• Attending meetings with clients;
• Opportunities to go on client secondments;
• Opportunities to work with our specialist property litigation and primary care teams;
• Negotiating legal documents with the other side, with support and supervision as appropriate;
• Site visits; and
• Legal research
  
  

SKILL SET

Candidates should have:

• At least a 2:1 undergraduate degree;
• Ideally an LPC or BVC qualification (LPC would be preferred but is not essential)
• A passion to work with our clients and make a positive change to peoples’ lives;
• Excellent IT skills;
• The ability to adhere to and manage deadlines and work to a chargeable hours target;
• Good written skills;
• Good administration skills;
• Good problem solving and communication skills;
• Confidence and a person centred approach;
  
  

Candidates will also be expected to demonstrate at interview that they:

• Understand the role applied for and the work undertaken in the team applied for (if known) and the division as a whole;
• Have strong organisational skills and a positive, can do attitude;
• Have good attention to detail;
