Job Introduction Our Real Estate Team understand the challenges that come with real estate and commercial property transactions. Their client base range from banks estate managers, developers and investors who deal with commercial property on a daily basis to new clients renting space for the first time real estate financing and they all need legal advice from experienced solicitors that's focused and practical. Realising the valued role that paralegals play in the above delivery, Partners Joe Kwok and Madeleine Wakeley are looking to recruit a Paralegal to join the team in Watford. Could this be your first step on the legal career ladder? A paralegal role at VWV provides the perfect building blocks for future trainee solicitors looking to gain experience ahead of starting a training contract or even to assist with applications for training contracts themselves and that's due to the variety of legal disciplines you'll be exposed to. We're proud of our record in transitioning a good proportion of our existing paralegals into trainee solicitors. This is the perfect role to brush up on your real estate experience as under the guidance of a qualified solicitor you'll be dealing with estate management, local authorities, property related insolvency matters, lease renewals, Landlord and Tenant issues and Land Registry applications. You'll play a crucial role managing and tracking deadlines of cases and transactions and develop those all-important drafting skills and client facing skills as you liaise with clients over the phone and help with the preparation of client correspondence and reports. And if that's not enough, you'll also become familiar with the firm's case management system and compliance procedures for letters of engagement, file opening, money laundering, archiving, billing and client accounts. Why choose us? VWV is known for its friendly and welcoming culture so team work and collaboration is key. With around 430 employees we’re big enough to win the big ticket work but small enough to know our people as individuals and help our star performers shine, see the video for what our people have to say about us. We offer a competitive salary, contribute to your pension pot, offer holiday allowance that increases on a year's employment, give you private healthcare and life assurance, offer a range of discounts with local businesses and with so many excellent internal training programmes on offer to everyone it's so easy to develop and improve your skills.

So who are we hoping will apply? You'll have a Law degree or have taken the Graduate Diploma in Law and perhaps even done your LPC and whilst any previous paralegal experience will surely help you get to grips with such a valued role your lack of paralegal experience will not hold you back as it's the soft skills below which are much more of interest. It's a busy role so you'll be organised, an excellent all-round communicator with proficient IT skills using Microsoft Office and someone who's motivated by the team's successes ahead of their own. And whilst there's no doubt that time spent in a commercial law firm of this size will naturally enhance your commercial acumen, we love to see applications from graduates whose commercial awareness is instinctive so if that's you, then we really want to hear from you.
