Job Details


A unique and growing Property Management business, based in central London, are looking for a highly experienced Solicitor or Legal Executive to join their business as their sole In-house Legal Advisor.

The role would be perfect for an NQ or Legal Executive with over 2 years' experience in litigation and drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, and ideally some knowledge of property management and housing.

Salary is very competitive, and will be based on individual candidate's experience.
With over 25 years' experience in the property management business, the organisation provides a cheaper and more effective alternative to traditional property security, and as such has grown to be the market leader in the industry.

The business now has offices throughout the UK and Europe and their clients include residential property owners, commercial businesses, and government organisations.
This position reports directly into the Managing Director and the successful applicant will work directly with senior stakeholders across the business in managing all legal and commercial matters. The successful applicant will have responsibility for drafting NTD documents and negotiating various commercial contracts, ensuring compliance with housing legislation, advising on risk relating to contracts, reviewing outstanding litigation and managing cases with external counsel, monitoring and formulating compliance checklists, and training colleagues on internal legal and compliance matters as appropriate.


The role would suit an NQ Solicitor or Legal Executive with more than 2 years' experience in a similar role, or from a background in commercial contracts, housing, property, or litigation. Applicants should demonstrate confident and tenacity - you will be required to handle matters autonomously and take ownership of legal issues throughout the business, in addition to instructing external solicitors. Candidates must be experienced in drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, and will ideally have knowledge of property and housing matters.


This is an exceptional and exciting opportunity for an ambitious and experienced Solicitor or Legal Executive to join a growing and market leading organisation as their sole legal advisor.

Please contact Cameran Waite, Recruitment Consultant - In House, to discuss the role in more detail or apply through the vacancy for immediate consideration.
