Job Description

Property Litigation Paralegal | West End | L500 & Spears Ranked

Are you a Property Litigation Paralegal eager to work on high-value, high-profile matters? This thriving West End firm combines top-tier clients, engaging work, and a collaborative, forward-thinking culture. Perfect for ambitious paralegals ready to progress to a trainee solicitor role.

The Firm

Ranked in Legal 500, this multi-service London firm is renowned for quality work and innovation. The Property Litigation team handles complex real estate disputes for household names like John Lewis, Arcadia, and Vodafone. Supported by experienced partners, you'll gain hands-on exposure to high-profile cases in a culture praised for mentoring, flexibility, and work-life balance.

The firm embraces innovation, including AI-driven legal tools, giving it a competitive edge and streamlining workflow, something few SME firms can offer.

Culture

Widely praised for its supportive, friendly and collegiate culture, with a strong reputation for mentoring and career development, particularly for junior lawyers and paralegals. In practice you will join a team where you'll be supported by leading partners, gain hands-on experience early and build a clear pathway. You will find there is much more in the way of staff flexibility and work-life balance than at larger city firms without compromising on quality of work.

The Role

Join a busy Property Litigation team, working alongside partners and senior lawyers on landlord and tenant disputes, service charge claims, possession proceedings, and boundary or development disputes. Responsibilities include:

• Drafting legal documents and correspondence
• Preparing court and tribunal bundles
• Conducting legal research
• Liaising with clients, witnesses, and counsel

From day one, you'll manage case files, meet deadlines, and gain exposure to complex, high-value property litigation. Ambitious individuals can progress to a trainee solicitor role within 12-18 months.

Why This Role Stands Out

Clear pathway to a training contract; paralegals are supported to qualify as solicitors

Work with nationally recognised partners on high-profile matters

Exposure to HNW clients, developers, banks, and household names

Supportive culture with strong professional development and hybrid working

Requirements

2-3 years' Property Litigation paralegal experience (SQE1/part SQE1 welcome)

Commercial awareness and eagerness to contribute to team know-how

Team-oriented, organised, detail-focused, and client-focused

This is a career-defining opportunity to work on complex, high-profile property litigation, develop your skills, and accelerate your path to qualification.
