Overview
Residential Development Paralegal Jobs in Uxbridge, England, United Kingdom at Knights
Title: Residential Development Paralegal
Company: Knights
Location: Uxbridge, England, United Kingdom
Knights has always done things differently; in 2012, we were the first organisation of our type in the UK legal sector to attract private equity investment, enabling us to move from the traditional partnership model to a corporate structure, creating a clear separation between management/ownership and fee earners.
The success of our model was reflected in very attractive growth over the following 6 years and since our listing on the AIM market in June 2018, we have reported year on year growth in both turnover and profits.
With over 1450 colleagues across 31 locations, our strong organic growth, combined with a number of high-quality recent acquisitions in the Thames Valley, Bristol, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, , Exeter, Weybridge, Sheffield and Teesside means we are now a more diversified business with strengthened positions in our key target markets. We have the team and financial resources in place to deliver our organic and acquisitive growth strategy as we scale up to be the leading legal and professional services business outside London.
Our business model and culture remains a clear differentiator from many legal services businesses enabling us to recruit individuals who wish to work in a modern professional services business.
We are now looking to specifically add to our Residential Development team based out of our Uxbridge office. This role, although part of our wider Real Estate and development team, will support specifically the team dealing with housebuilder work and developer clients and the associated infrastructure agreements. This is a great opportunity to grow and develop your legal career surrounded by fantastic lawyers and high quality work. Some of the duties of this role are outlined below;
The Opportunity:
Working on infrastructure agreements, for example road adoption, electricity sub station agreements and gas and electricity easements.
Running your own caseload on said infrastructure agreements.
Supporting the wider development team on development transactions.

Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.

We offer a unique environment; you will be part of a one team culture that promotes direct responsibility with an expectation to always deliver the best service possible for clients within a collegiate, team-based environment.
Most excitingly of all, you have the opportunity to help change the way we all think about and deliver the future of legal and professional services in a friendly, caring business, with little (if any) hierarchy. Our culture of positivity and transparency, provides a great platform for the right people to take their careers to the next level.
