About the role:

As Senior Solicitor, you will deliver high-quality, in-house legal expertise across Paradigm, managing complex cases, advising senior leadership, and helping uphold our strong culture of continuous improvement and risk management. Reporting to the Head of Legal, you’ll partner with key stakeholders, including Directors and Heads of Service, providing guidance that supports our strategic goals and safeguards our operations.

In this varied role, you will lead on property litigation matters such as residential landlord/tenant issues, housing management, and anti-social behaviour cases. You’ll also contribute to a proactive, high-performing Legal Services team, championing best practices, enhancing our housing management expertise, and helping us achieve value for money in legal operations.

  • Develop and lead training sessions for colleagues, helping them become “intelligent clients” when engaging with external legal services.
  • Work with the Head of Legal on strategic projects, deputising as needed and drafting well-structured reports on legal matters for senior stakeholders.
  • Actively engage in CPD and seek feedback to support your professional growth and enhance our legal team’s expertise.

About you:

To succeed in this role, you’ll be a qualified Solicitor (minimum 8 years’ post-admission experience) or Barrister with expertise in contentious landlord and tenant matters. You’ll be confident working independently, adept at managing relationships at all levels, and able to deliver high-quality results under pressure.

  • Proven expertise in housing management, anti-social behaviour , property litigation, including residential landlord/tenant law
  • Comprehensive knowledge of civil procedure rules, residential landlord and tenant law, and contract law
  • Strong networking, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills, with an ability to communicate clearly across a wide variety of audiences
  • Experience managing relationships with senior leaders, producing high-quality written and verbal reports, and working under pressure to meet deadlines
