About Aegis Energy
At Aegis Energy, we are accelerating the decarbonisation of commercial transport in the UK. Our mission is to build and operate a national network of over 50 clean energy hubs—strategically designed to serve commercial fleets with low- and zero-emission fuels, including EV charging, HVO, bio-CNG, and Hydrogen.
Transport accounts for 27% of the UK’s CO₂ emissions, with commercial vehicles being the biggest contributors. We’re here to change that.
The Role
We are looking for a tech-savvy paralegal with strong legal knowledge to join our dynamic legal team during a period of rapid growth. This is a rare opportunity to help shape our HighQ matter management system from the ground up—designing folder structures, workflows, reporting dashboards, and request intake processes—while also working on a variety of commercial contracts and property-related legal matters.
The successful candidate will:
* Lead the setup, optimisation, and ongoing management of our HighQ platform.
* Advise on the best way to structure legal processes in HighQ to maximise efficiency.
* Support the legal team with contract drafting/review and property due diligence.
* Assist with governance and compliance tasks.
This role combines legal operations expertise with hands-on paralegal work and is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of law and technology.

Paralegal Work – Commercial Contracts & Property

* Support real estate transactions—obtain and review title documents, conduct property searches, carry out due diligence, and prepare reports.
* Maintain and update legal document templates, precedents, and playbooks.
* Track legal deadlines (lease renewals, reporting obligations, compliance timelines).
Governance & Compliance
* Assist with Companies House filings, statutory registers, and board documentation.
* Support compliance activities across energy, data protection, health & safety, and corporate governance.
About You
Essential
* Minimum 2 years’ paralegal experience in commercial contracts and/or commercial property.
