Real Estate Paralegal

The work that comes into the team is varied. Each member of our team is assigned to one of the group aligned subteams. Whilst predominantly carrying out work for your subteam, you can expect to work on a variety of assignments from across all of the Firm's groups, which gives you a good insight into the workings of a commercial law firm. The specific Real Estate assignments you will be working on can include the following:

• submission of all Land Registry applications including registration of transfers, charges, unilateral notices, deeds of variation and first registrations


• managing electronic data sites/client external sites, uploading and ordering documentation, and liaising with third parties
