Junior Legal Executive in London

About The Flex: At The Flex, we are reinventing the global rental experience. We believe renting a home should be as simple, fast, and borderless as buying on Amazon, and we are building the infrastructure to make that possible. Powered by our proprietary Property Management System (PMS), The Flex automates operations, streamlines bookings, and delivers frictionless experiences for both guests and landlords. We are scaling rapidly and assembling a team of A-Players, ambitious, proactive, and committed to excellence. If you are hungry to learn, comfortable with responsibility early, and want real exposure to commercial law (not just document review), you will feel right at home here. This is not a passive paralegal role. You will sit at the centre of a fast-moving business dealing with real disputes, real negotiations, and real transactions from day one.

Position Summary: As a Junior Legal Executive, you will operate as the internal legal engine of the business, managing day-to-day legal matters, coordinating external solicitors only where necessary, and helping the company move fast while staying protected. You will gain hands-on exposure across litigation, property acquisitions, commercial contracts, and regulatory compliance. This role suits someone driven, commercially minded, and eager to build practical legal experience far faster than a traditional training route.

Areas of responsibility include:

• Litigation & Disputes
  • Manage pre-action correspondence, evidence gathering and case preparation
  • Handle possession proceedings and debt recovery workflows
  • Draft formal responses to legal claims and solicitor correspondence
  • Prepare bundles and instructions for counsel and external solicitors
  • Track deadlines, hearings and procedural compliance
• Conveyancing & Property
  • Support acquisitions and disposals across the property portfolio
  • Review title documents, searches and enquiries
  • Coordinate with lenders, agents and solicitors through to completion
  • Draft and negotiate lease agreements, deeds and side letters
• Contracts & Commercial
  • Draft, review and negotiate employee, contractor and service agreements
  • Maintain and improve contract templates across the business
  • Support operational teams in structuring commercial arrangements
• Compliance & Risk
  • Maintain legal registers, licences and regulatory requirements
  • Identify legal risks and propose practical solutions
  • Build internal processes to reduce recurring disputes
  • Liaise with external counsel only when specialist input is required

What You will bring:

• Law degree (LPC/SQE completed or in progress preferred)
• Strong written communication and drafting ability
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Commercial mindset, able to balance legal risk with business practicality
• Comfortable managing multiple matters simultaneously
• Resilient and calm when dealing with conflict or pressure
• Proactive attitude, you take ownership rather than wait for instruction

We value hunger, intelligence and work ethic more than years of experience. Experience in property, litigation, or contracts is helpful but not required.
