Edinburgh, United Kingdom Addleshaw Goddard Full time

The Firm

We stand out for our consistently excellent advice: we provide technical excellence, experience and crucially, we demonstrate real insight into our clients and what matters to them. Our knowledge of our chosen sectors and markets, and our investment in our client relationships set us apart. We are a natural choice for FTSE100 and other high profile clients.

The Team

Launched in 2010, our well-established, high performing and busy Transaction Services Team (TST) help Addleshaw Goddard deliver a world class service to its clients. We were the first team of its kind in the UK, and continue to innovate by delivering work in the most efficient way, saving our clients time and money. We are now one of the Firm's biggest groups, with our team being made up of apprentices, paralegals, managers and solicitors.

Our team members focus on tasks that are found in a wide variety of legal assignments but which do not necessarily need to be done by qualified lawyers, including process elements of transactional, advisory and contentious work. We are supported by the use of technology and play a key role in enabling Addleshaw Goddard to respond to client demand for more innovative and better value services.

Aside from a competitive salary and flexible benefits package, you'll get fantastic opportunities to support some of the UK's largest businesses, as well as the potential for exciting internal and client secondments. With our focus on continuous development and progression, we created a career development framework and training programme specifically for the TST. As part of that framework you'll have the opportunity to have a career conversation every 4 months to ensure we're supporting you to meet your development goals and to discuss your progression. In addition, you'll have access to our internal training contract application process, legal qualification sponsorship and management or technical development programmes.

The Role

We are looking for a paralegal to assist with real estate finance transactions, primarily acting on behalf of lenders in Scottish and English transactions. English real estate experience is not a pre-requisite, but we would be looking for someone who is willing to learn and be involved in this area. The team also assists lenders with distressed real estate and the recovery of sums due in relation to real estate loans, which may involve enforcement and the sale of property.

The work that comes into the team is varied. Each member of our team is assigned to one of the group aligned subteams. Whilst predominantly carrying out work for your subteam, you can expect to work on a variety of assignments from across all of the Firm's groups, which gives you a good insight into the workings of a commercial law firm. The assignments you will be working on can include the following:

reviewing and reporting on finance and security documents, and other information relevant to transactions managing electronic data sites, uploading and ordering documentation and liaising with third parties  assisting with post completion tasks on legal projects, such as creating bibles, drafting Companies House forms and Deeds of Release etc working with a group deal team to provide transactional support on finance projects from initial instruction through to post completion stages dealing with property sales (including missives, sale documentation, discharge documentation, searches and completions) and leases (primarily lease reviews). drafting and producing legal documentation and standard form documents in transactions, primarily for distressed property sales, redemptions and refinances reviewing and reporting on security documentation for major financial institutions carrying out title diligence and completing or reviewing Certificates of Title/Reports on Title and drafting or reviewing security documents (including dealing with completions and registration requirements) drafting and producing legal documentation for the appointment of insolvency practitioners liaising with internal and external parties on various matters  responsibility for completion of transactions, with assistance as required populating contract and document schedules as well as completing contract reviews proof reading and cross checking contracts and other lease reviews drafting and producing legal documentation and standard forms checking legal documents for quality, consistency and content  providing support to our clients on-site, where necessary any additional tasks as required by the business 

Knowledge, Skills and Experience Required 

Due to the dynamic nature of the work we do and the clients we seek to serve, the role is not an ordinary "9-5" job. For the right person, this role provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to our proven success by utilising a wide set of skills essential to a career in the TST. 

Any successful applicant will need the following skills and competencies: 

a high level of attention to detail sound technical understanding of the law effective personal, organisational and time management skills, and the ability to juggle multiple demands the ability to work to deadlines within a challenging environment, and to work as part of a team strong written and verbal communication skills, demonstrating an ability to communicate with colleagues at all levels a positive, enthusiastic and proactive approach to work  a strong work ethic and a desire to develop and succeed the ability to work to tight timescales with a sense of urgency common sense, commerciality and the ability to exercise sound judgment an interest in, or experience of, using technology to deliver work demonstrate a commercial and common sense approach to issues self-motivation and be keen to be involved in marketing and business development the ability to liaising and coordinating with fee earners from other relevant disciplines as needed the enthusiasm to develop our business and market to clients
