A unique and growing Property Management business, based in central London, are looking for a highly experienced 1/2 PQE Solicitor/Legal Counsel to join their business as their sole In-house Legal Counsel .
The role would be perfect for a 1/2 PQE Solicitor/Legal Counsel who has 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 a 1/2 PQE Solicitor or Legal Counsel who is looking for a more autonomous role.
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 to join a growing and market leading organisation as their sole legal advisor.
