Commercial Property Paralegal or Legal Executive

The team deal with a broad range of clients from small to medium sized companies through to international enterprises.

• A keen interest in a paralegal career in Commercial Property law, which we will support with mentoring and training;


• The ability to communicate in a non-technical way and to be professional; and


• The ability to work well within a close-knit team and to also work well using your own initiative when required.
