Role profile
We have an opportunity for a Paralegal to support our Real Estate department in delivering commercial real estate work. We are happy to consider candidates at different levels of experience. You will work with and support fee earners across all three of our UK offices.

The practice
Our real estate team overall has a strong reputation for providing commercial advice to clients on everything from investment acquisitions and disposals and portfolio and asset management, forward funding and forward commitments, to complex mixed‑use developments. Our team advises across all our clients’ entire investment patterns including BTR, student accommodation, logistics and energy.
We are distinguished from our competitors by our market‑leading practices in a number of prominent specialist areas. These include Living (including build‑to‑rent, senior living etc.) where we are recognised national leaders, energy – in particular major renewables projects run by leading names in the sector such as Foresight, Octopus and Oxford Capital Partners; student housing, where we have advised on significant deals for Global Student Accommodation Limited and Campus Living Villages; and retail both for landlords such as British Land and retail tenants such as M&S. In addition, we act for a number of large UK and overseas institutions, as major investors in UK real estate.
Our clients include the UKs leading house‑builders Persimmon, Barratt, Taylor Wimpey, Bloor Homes and Linden, advising on residential development work, strategic land joint ventures and consortia arrangements.
