The firm advises over 800 businesses and is a market-leading law firm across Health and Social Care, Housing and Local and Central Government throughout the UK. We employ over 450 staff, including 65 Partners and our award-winning teams provide commercial, corporate, property, regulatory, employment and litigation (commercial and clinical negligence) legal advice. We are currently recruiting a Paralegal to join our Social Housing team in our Leeds office. The Social Housing team act mostly for Housing Associations, providing advice on all aspects of property law. This role is a fantastic opportunity to work within a busy team on a wide range of property matters, predominantly focused on acquisitions and security work for our Housing Association and Local Authority clients. The role requires solid property experience in title and search review including preparation of reports on title. The role is intended to be a developing role allowing the successful applicant to take lead on section 106 acquisitions from developers, learning the nuances of housing association requirements with support from the partners in the team including drafting and negotiating contracts and transfers for such acquisitions. Additional tasks will include supporting the partners in the team in relation to acquisition from developers (completion statements, liaising about completion dates, priority searches etc) and supporting the team on security work (reviewing searches, reviewing titles, assisting in preparing disclosures for certificates of title) Applicants must be able to demonstrate previous property experience dealing with acquisitions work and reporting on title. The team is a very supportive environment which will provide on the job training for social housing aspects of the role, and you will receive ongoing day to day support from the more experienced lawyers. Previous Social Housing experience is not therefore essential for this role, but an interest in Social Housing would be a real advantage. Attention to detail, efficiency and the ability to use your own initiative will be essential for this position, and the ability to work to challenging deadlines will be imperative. An interest in learning to draft and negotiate property documents is also fundamental to this role. Email to a friend More Sharing Services Share this job Printer friendly Apply
