Job description

Paralegal – Residential Property – Knights

Location

Brighton

Description

Knights has always done things differently; in 2012, we were the first organisation of our type in the UK legal sector to attract private equity investment, enabling us to move from the traditional partnership model to a corporate structure, creating a clear separation between management / ownership and fee earners.

The success of our model was reflected in very attractive growth over the following 6 years and since our listing on the AIM market in June 2018, we have reported year on year growth.

With nearly 1500 colleagues across 32 locations and our strong organic growth, combined with a number of high-quality recent acquisitions means we are now a more diversified business with strengthened positions in our key target markets. We have the team and financial resources in place to deliver our organic and acquisitive growth strategy as we scale up to be the leading legal and professional services business outside London.

Our business model and culture remain a clear differentiator from many legal services businesses enabling us to recruit individuals who wish to work in a modern professional services business. The Group’s strong position in its markets, increased scale, national reputation, differentiated model and unique culture is enabling us to attract high quality talent.

We are now looking for a Paralegal to join our fantastic Residential Property team based out of our Brighton office. The team handle a extensive range of residential work from sales and purchases of freehold and leasehold property for first and second time buyers through to more complex property transactions for those seeking to add to their property portfolios.

This role will support the team on the above work and would be a superb role for someone with conveyancing experience already and looking to work closely with some fantastic lawyers on really interesting residential property work.

Responsibilities include;

• Administrative tasks including opening files, ID checks, scanning, setting up bank transfers, ordering searches, preparing bills and statements
• Preparing documents – contracts, transfer deeds, mortgage deeds, land transaction returns, registration applications
• More legal work as you develop – checking titles, preparing legal reports, exchanging contracts and dealing with completion
• Communication with clients and other parties involved in transactions e.g. other solicitors, mortgage lenders and estate agents

We offer a unique environment; you will be part of a one team culture that promotes direct responsibility with an expectation to always deliver the best service possible for clients within a collegiate, team-based environment.

Most excitingly of all, you can help change the way we all think about and deliver the future of legal and professional services in a friendly, caring business, with little (if any) hierarchy. Our culture of positivity and transparency, provides a great platform for the right people to take their careers to the next level.

If you would like to understand more about our career-supporting culture then please get in touch with our Recruitment Manager, Michael Appleby, on 07805 819860 or by email [e-mail]
