Job description

We’re on the lookout for real estate paralegals to join our busy and growing Commercial Property team. These roles are not entry-level, so to be considered you’ll need to already have experience supporting a commercial property or real estate team in a law firm. If you’re well-organised, proactive, and keen to develop your skills further in a great team, we’d love to hear from you.

The role

We currently have a couple of opportunities within the team, covering slightly different areas of real estate work. You’ll either be working closely with lawyers on landlord and tenant property management matters for a major client or providing support on land registry requisitions and post-completion work.

Depending on the role, your tasks could include:

1. Drafting and submitting Land Registry and other forms
2. Obtaining searches, planning documents and indemnity policies
3. Reviewing official copies
4. Managing post-completion steps
5. Preparing draft engagement letters and opening new matters
6. Drafting leases, licences and other property management documents
7. Liaising with clients, tenants, agents and solicitors
8. Handling legal research, document preparation and general admin
9. Supporting with proof reading and simple drafting
10. Working on a named client account to deliver a consistent service

What we are looking for

To be successful, you must have previous experience as a paralegal in a commercial property, conveyancing or wider real estate team. We’ll be looking for a good grasp of the basics and a genuine interest in building on that foundation.

We’re also looking for someone who’s organised, thorough and will get stuck in. Strong communication skills, a calm, proactive attitude and the ability to manage competing priorities are important.

Clarion is a relationship-driven firm, so if you enjoy being part of a team, take pride in your work and are looking for somewhere to develop your real estate career, you’ll fit right in.

To enjoy working at Clarion and thrive in the firm you will need to be motivated, a team player, commercially minded, calm under pressure and be able to work equally well autonomously and collaboratively.

Whilst we have agile working, you will hugely benefit from being in the office regularly. Working from home opportunities will depend on the specific requirements of your team.

Working at Clarion

Clarion has a great reputation as an employer of choice and our culture is vital to our ongoing success. We genuinely care for our employees and hire only the best talent (good people with outstanding technical skills). In exchange for your efforts you can expect:

1. 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, and your birthday off (with the option to buy or sell holiday, and flex some bank holidays)
2. Medical Cash Plan
3. Reward Scheme
4. Pension and Life Assurance
5. Generous ‘family friendly leave’
6. An array of wellness benefits (including onsite yoga and mental health programmes)
7. A wide range of additional benefits such as Vivup, reduced travel/parking charges and a cycle to work schemes with fully secure bike storage on-site

As a valued member of the team, you will also have the opportunity to join a number of clubs and committees that reflect your passions and interests, both in and out of work, whilst making friendships that last for life.
