Job description

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Paralegal to join our rapidly growing Real Estate Group based in our Edinburgh office.

What will you be doing?

You'll be working in a team that handles a range of work including landlord and tenant, property finance, development work, and renewables. In this busy team, you'll be responsible for managing your own caseload as well as supporting the wider Real Estate team with transactions and registrations.

So what are we looking for?

Ideally, you will have some commercial property experience and a keen interest in this work. The type of practice where you gained that experience is not important; what matters most is that you have excellent communication skills and a desire to provide outstanding client service. You should also be able to prioritize your work to meet key deadlines, have strong IT skills, and experience using case management systems.

You may have already undertaken legal qualifications or gained previous experience as a Paralegal or Legal Executive within the real estate sector. Whatever your situation, if you're looking to build your career in this specialization, we want to hear from you.

To be successful in this role, you'll need to meet at least the following minimum requirements:

• At least 6 months experience as a paralegal, Legal Assistant, or similar.
• Experience managing and prioritizing your workload.
• Computer literacy, with experience in using Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.

What makes it great to work here?

We continually work hard to create an open culture that sets us apart from other firms. Our culture emphasizes that we're more than just suits, giving us a more human feel.

As signatories to the Mindful Business Charter, it's important to us that our people can maintain healthy and happy lives, both in and out of work. We offer various resources and initiatives to support health and wellbeing and are very open to flexible working arrangements.

Through our DEI initiatives, we foster an environment where differences are valued. We have a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Group, led by our Board Sponsor, which collaborates with our colleague networks (including those for race, ethnicity, cultural heritage, LGBTQ+, disabilities, neurodiversity, families, and women's career development). We are continuously engaging with our people to expand our networks and better support everyone. Find out more about DEI at WBD here. We encourage applicants from all social backgrounds, ethnicities, disabilities, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

We are committed to making our recruitment process inclusive and accessible. If you have a disability or long-term condition and need adjustments during the process, please contact the recruiter on the right side of this page. Let us know if you require this job advert or application in a different format.

We will offer interviews to candidates with disabilities or long-term conditions who meet the minimum criteria for this role. You can opt into this scheme within the application form. Your response is used solely for this purpose, visible only to the recruitment team, and not for data monitoring.
