Building High-Impact Legal Teams | In-House Specialist | Trusted by General Counsels, CFOs & HR Leaders | 12+ Years’ Recruitment Experience
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.
Your role
You'll act as a trusted partner to the Head of Legal, attending meetings on their behalf, representing the company secretarial and legal functions, and helping develop processes, compliance programmes, and documentation in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment.
Key Responsibilities:
* Track legal documents, obligations, and manage renewals.
* Draft and review legal documentation, including NDAs, and support negotiation processes.
* Conduct legal research across corporate governance, regulatory, HR, and property matters, preparing clear internal memos.
* Support the Company Secretary function, including board packs, filings, and minutes.
* 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
* Proven experience in corporate and/or property law, ideally in‑house or at a top law firm.
* 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.
* Comfortable directly advising and proactively following up with senior leadership figures.
* Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast‑paced environment.
