Job description

Overview

Property Litigation Paralegal | West End | L500 & Spears

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 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.

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Drafting legal documents and correspondence
• Preparing court and tribunal bundles
• Conducting legal research
• Liaising with clients, witnesses, and counsel
• From day one, manage case files, meet deadlines, and gain exposure to complex, high-value property litigation

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
