We are seeking a Property Lawyer to join our in-house Legal Team based in our central London office. We appreciate that flexibility is important, therefore we operate a hybrid working model.
This is a fantastic opportunity to be a key member within the Legal Property Team, delivering pragmatic, efficient and effective property advice to internal stakeholders across the organisation.
You will manage your own caseload, taking instructions from internal stakeholders and liaising with external parties. Your responsibilities will include drafting commercial and residential property documents, handling property enquiries, reviewing property deeds, title registers, and related documents to prepare reports, and providing advice to internal stakeholders on a broad range of property matters.
What we are looking for
We are looking for a Property Lawyer with hands-on experience of a range of property matters, with good analytical and organisational abilities. You will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively liaise with a range of internal stakeholders across the organisation.
We know that how we do things is just as important as what we do, so you will not only be highly self-motivated and goal-oriented, but you will also be able to work collaboratively and demonstrate flexibility to go the extra mile to ensure successful outcomes.
