Join to apply for the HMLR Senior Paralegal role at Addleshaw Goddard.
The role is suitable for candidates with a desire to focus on property post-completion matters and specialise in this area. We are ideally looking for candidates with experience of dealing with Land Registry applications and land tax returns (SDLT and LTT). This role would suit candidates who are committed to developing their skills and advancing their careers within the paralegal and/or commercial property field, rather than those seeking to progress to qualification via a training contract.
The Team
Launched in 2010, our well-established, high performing and busy Transaction Services Team (TST) helps Addleshaw Goddard deliver a world-class service to its clients. We were the first team of its kind in the UK and continue to innovate by delivering work in the most efficient way, saving our clients time and money. Our team includes apprentices, paralegals, managers, and solicitors.
Members focus on tasks that are part of various legal assignments, which do not necessarily require qualified lawyers, including process elements of transactional, advisory, and contentious work. We leverage technology and play a key role in enabling Addleshaw Goddard to respond to client demand for innovative and value-driven services.
This role is part of a newly established Post-Completion Hub, dedicated to Land Registry applications and land tax returns, supporting the wider TST Real Estate team and Real Estate Group.
Alongside a competitive salary and flexible benefits, you'll have opportunities to support some of the UK's largest businesses. We offer a career development framework and training program tailored for the TST, including regular career conversations to support your development and progression.
