Job description
Commercial Paralegal | Commercial Property | Corporate & Commercial
York | Full-Time | Career Progression | Training Contract Opportunity

Not every paralegal role gives you a genuine route into commercial law.

Some involve little more than administration. Others give you the opportunity to work alongside experienced solicitors, develop technical skills across multiple disciplines and build the foundations for a long-term legal career.

QED Legal's client is looking to recruit a Commercial Paralegal to join its expanding Commercial Division in York. This is a growth appointment within a firm that's investing heavily in both its people and its future, with ambitious plans to continue expanding its Commercial offering across North Yorkshire.

You'll work alongside experienced lawyers across Commercial Property, Company Commercial and Private Client, supporting high-quality legal work for owner-managed businesses, family businesses, agricultural enterprises and corporate clients. This isn't a volume environment or traditional high street practice—it's an opportunity to gain exposure to complex commercial matters while learning from experienced specialists.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting solicitors across Commercial Property, Corporate & Commercial and Private Client matters.
  • Drafting legal documents and client correspondence.
  • Conducting legal research and preparing supporting documentation.
  • Liaising confidently with clients and third parties by telephone, email and in person.
  • Assisting with file management, compliance procedures and case progression.
  • Using modern case management systems to support transactions and record work accurately.
  • Providing administrative and legal support across a varied commercial caseload.
To be considered, you'll ideally have:

  • An LLB, LPC, SQE or equivalent legal qualification.
  • A genuine interest in building a career within Commercial Property, Company Commercial or wider commercial law.
  • Previous legal or administrative experience would be advantageous but is not essential.
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and a professional approach.
  • Confidence using IT systems and learning new technology.
  • A proactive attitude and willingness to learn from experienced colleagues.
This opportunity would suit a Commercial Paralegal, Property Paralegal, Corporate Paralegal, Legal Assistant, Law Graduate or aspiring solicitor looking to gain exposure to high-quality commercial work within a supportive and collaborative team.

The firm has been established for nearly two centuries and continues to invest heavily in innovation, legal technology and AI, while maintaining a strong reputation for advising businesses and private clients on complex legal matters. With the York office continuing to grow, there is genuine opportunity for ambitious individuals to develop their careers, with structured training, clear progression pathways and the potential to secure a future training contract.

Alongside a competitive salary, you'll benefit from structured training, collaborative team bonuses, private medical insurance, life assurance, office parking and the opportunity to share in the success of a business that rewards teamwork rather than individual competition.

For a confidential discussion or to learn more about the firm behind the opportunity, please contact Eoghan at QED Legal Recruitment Ltd.
