Paralegal / Legal Executive

Newark (office-based / hybrid depending on experience)

Full-time, permanent

The Opportunity

A well-established and highly regarded regional law firm is looking to add a Paralegal or Legal Executive to its growing Land Development & New Homes team.

This is a strong opportunity for someone with conveyancing experience who wants exposure to high-quality development work, not just standard residential files. You’ll be working closely with experienced fee earners on a varied caseload and playing a key role in delivering a smooth, commercially focused service to clients.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting fee earners on a range of conveyancing and infrastructure matters
• Preparing quotes and handling initial client enquiries
• Conducting searches and progressing transactions
• Drafting contracts and managing standard documentation
• Liaising with estate agents and third parties
• Assisting with exchanges, completions, and post-completion work
• Including SDLT, Land Registry, and Companies House submissions
• Managing file closures and maintaining accurate records
• Contributing to client relationships and ongoing business development

What We’re Looking For

• Experience as a Paralegal or Legal Executive within conveyancing
• Solid understanding of residential conveyancing processes (development experience is a bonus)
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage deadlines under pressure
• Confident communicator with a client-focused approach
• Comfortable using case management systems and Microsoft Office
• High attention to detail and a structured way of working

What Sets This Role Apart

This isn’t a volume factory environment. You’ll be working on more complex, interesting transactions, gaining exposure to development work that will actually move your career forward.

What You’ll Get

• Competitive salary (based on experience)
• Generous holiday allowance
• Life assurance
• Pension scheme (with salary exchange option)
• Employee assistance programme
• Staff discounts on legal and financial services
