Job Description

Reference: BC4710
We're supporting on a very distinct legal project for the next 2+ months in which we're looking for a Paralegal or Lawyer who may be available for the next few months to support on an urgent project in Hemel Hempstead.
Our client are based in the charitable/housing sector and as such we are ideally needing to find someone with experience in their arena - So someone that has experience in "disrepair", "housing" or "landlord/tenancy" would be ideal!
As part of this project you'd be tasked with setting up a Legal Actions Register, supporting with case management reviews and working closely with their solicitors and internal staff to ensure due diligence and establishing future management.
There is also the opportunity for this person to help with the recommendation and appointment of selected solicitors best suited to the company and based on costings.
The company operate on a hybrid working basis, working 35 hours a week and typically 2-3 days in the office - But for this project they would be open to someone working on an even more flexible/remote basis so long as you are easily able to access the Hemel Hempstead offices when required.
With this being a temporary project, this is going to be paying a day rate the equivalent of a circa 40k salary (to be confirmed and up for discussion), which would be an approx. 150+ day rate plus holiday accrual.
What to expect from the project:

• Establish a legal register - work across the organisation to pull together all current legal actions into a comprehensive legal register.
• Undertake a case management review, with instructed solicitors, to establish the status of each legal case and that all relevant actions are being taken in a timely way.
• Assess and recommend future legal case management arrangements.
• The majority of cases relate to disrepair and building safety issues.

What do we need from you:

• Experience as a Paralegal, Lawyer or similar with exposure to the disrepair, housing, landlord/tenant or building safety world is high on the wish list.
• This role has the ability to be extremely flexible with hours (so long as you can put in a full time workload) and office/hybrid - But ideally being close to Hemel Hempstead for meetings and to initially get in and set up would be ideal.
• The ability to be free for at least the next 2 months and starting ASAP is a must have.
