Candidates must have at least 12 months’ experience as a residential property paralegal, with excellent drafting skills, attention to detail, and strong communication skills. The ability to build rapport with clients and conduct searches with minimal supervision is essential.

This is an excellent opportunity for a residential property paralegal to gain more hands-on experience, autonomy, and responsibility within an established London law firm.
