Senior Paralegal – Corporate & Compliance
Location: London, hybrid (3 days onsite) | Reports to: Head of Legal
We're working with a fast-growing, private equity-backed energy business that is transforming how new developments connect to the electricity grid. The company helps businesses and residential projects get connected faster, supporting the UK's transition to net-zero.
The company provides grid access to data centres, electric vehicle chargers, renewables storage, as well as industrial, commercial and residential property.
The legal team is split into two areas: Land Rights and Corporate & Compliance. This role sits within Corporate & Compliance, reporting directly to the Head of Legal. It’s a high-impact position where you’ll gain exposure to a wide range of corporate legal work and help shape processes, compliance programmes, and business decisions.
This is a great opportunity for a paralegal with law firm experience who now wants to progress in-house and qualify as a solicitor in the near future.

* Help implement policies and procedures, including training, monitoring, and auditing programmes.
* Attend meetings and act as a business partner to stakeholders across the company.
* Assist with process improvements and adoption of technology solutions within the legal team.
Your profile

* Understanding of compliance frameworks and ability to liaise with senior stakeholders.
* Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail, and problem‑solving ability.
* Strong general communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills.
