The Role
As a Leasing Paralegal within our Real Estate group, you will play a key role in supporting across a broad range of high-quality leasing matters. The team acts for both landlords and tenants on a diverse portfolio of retail, commercial and industrial leasing transactions, advising on everything from the drafting and negotiation of major leases through to complex agreements for lease and other sophisticated leasing arrangements.
Working closely with partners and lawyers, you will enjoy a high level of responsibility, managing your own matters while supporting the team on complex transactions. Your day-to-day work will include preparing and negotiating lease documentation, managing key dates and correspondence, liaising directly with clients and external stakeholders, and ensuring matters progress smoothly and efficiently. You will also assist with lease renewals, variations, assignments, licences and other leasing-related documentation, while delivering exceptional client service and maintaining accurate matter management.
This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced leasing paralegal looking to build on their expertise in a collaborative, high-performing team. If you enjoy autonomy, client contact and working on quality matters, while being supported by approachable partners genuinely invested in your development, this role offers an excellent next step in your career.
Experience
To be successful in this role, you will have previous experience as a Leasing Paralegal, ideally gained within a mid to large-sized law firm. You will possess a strong understanding of commercial leasing principles and processes, excellent drafting skills, and exceptional attention to detail.
You are organised, proactive and capable of managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. You take pride in producing high-quality work, communicate confidently with clients and colleagues, and enjoy building strong working relationships. Equally comfortable working independently or as part of a close-knit team, you will bring a positive attitude, sound judgement and a genuine commitment to delivering outstanding client service.
