Commercial Real Estate Paralegal | Birmingham

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Commercial Real Estate Paralegal to join the Birmingham office of a leading international law firm. This is a fantastic chance to become part of a highly regarded Real Estate team, working on high-profile transactions for a portfolio of well-known corporate occupier clients.

This role offers genuine responsibility from the outset, with the opportunity to work closely with experienced lawyers on a broad range of commercial property matters while developing your technical expertise and client-facing skills.

You’ll be involved in a varied caseload, supporting the team on a range of commercial real estate transactions, including:

  • Lease renewals, surrenders and licences
  • Acquisitions and disposals
  • Title investigation and review of property searches
  • Preparing completion documentation
  • SDLT submissions and Land Registry applications
  • Liaising with clients, agents, solicitors and other stakeholders throughout transactions
  • Providing day-to-day support on estate management matters for a diverse corporate client base

This is a fast-paced role offering excellent exposure to complex commercial property work within a collaborative and supportive environment.

We’re keen to speak with candidates who have:

  • Previous experience as a Commercial Real Estate Paralegal or Legal Assistant.
  • Ideally, experience acting for corporate occupiers (tenant-side work) rather than purely landlord-side transactions.
  • Strong knowledge of commercial property processes and documentation.
  • Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • A proactive, team-focused approach and a willingness to take ownership of your work.
  • Strong communication skills and confidence building relationships with clients and colleagues.
  • Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality work.

What’s on Offer

  • The opportunity to join one of the UK’s leading Commercial Real Estate teams.
  • Exposure to high-quality, complex occupier-side work.
  • Genuine responsibility and autonomy from an early stage.
  • Excellent training, mentoring and long-term career development.
  • A collaborative and inclusive working environment.
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
  • Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.

If you’re a Commercial Real Estate Paralegal looking to take the next step in your career and would like to work on market-leading occupier-side transactions, please apply now!
