Our paralegals are in constant communication with our team of negotiators and act
as the key point of liaison when preparing the tenancy agreements and the associated
legal documents required when moving a tenant into one of our landlord’s properties.
Re-drafting and amending contracts forms an important part of the Paralegal’s day-to-day
responsibility, as does verifying the suitability of the tenant by carrying out
extensive background checks and obtaining references from employers and previous
landlords.
In some cases our paralegals come to us with law degrees or further legal qualifications
in the form of an LPC, and we do sponsor continuing professional development provided by the
National Association of Licenced Paralegals and the Association of Residential Lettings
Agents. Our Paralegal team meets regularly with solicitors to discuss the latest
implications of the ever changing regulatory environment.
"I joined Edmund Cude having completed a Law undergraduate degree and subsequently
the Legal Practice Course at the College of Law. The volume of work here is staggering
at times, but the team is extremely supportive. One thing that I particularly like
is the regular contact between the offices which reinforces the strong sense of
working as a team.
There is definitely a culture of rewarding hard work and this is demonstrated by
the fact that everyone participates in the company bonus scheme which pays out in
Spring and Autumn every year. In addition, the opportunities for training and development
are excellent and I have learnt an enormous amount in the period that I have been
working here."
