JOIN THE HERD: PARALEGAL OPPORTUNITY IN BLACKBURN WITH NAPTHENS’ RURAL BUSINESS PROPERTY TEAM

Napthens LLP is on the lookout for a Property Paralegal to join our award-winning Rural Business Property Team, based in Blackburn, nestled in the heart of East Lancashire.
This is not just any legal role — this is a chance to roll up your sleeves and get stuck into the legal lifeblood of the countryside. From buying and selling farms, to refinancing rural estates, and supporting succession planning for generations of farmers, you will be part of a team that is as rooted in the land as the hedgerows of the Ribble Valley.

WHY JOIN THE FLOCK?

  • We are a Tier 1 Legal 500 firm and proud panel lawyers for the NFU.
  • You will work alongside some of the region’s most respected rural legal experts.
  • We have strong ties with land agents, banks (like Oxbury, HSBC, and Virgin), and tax specialists.
  • There’s real opportunity for growth, training contract, and qualifications (SQE, CILEX) — if you have the drive, we have the tractor to take you there.

What We are Looking For:

  • A genuine interest in rural life, farming, and agriculture — whether you grew up on a farm or just love the countryside.
  • Legal experience working in a support role like conveyancing, commercial property, or real estate. You have used the land registry portal and understand SDLT. You may have drafted some contracts and started work on your own files.
  • A connection to the countryside. Tell us your story. Whether you are a local or have always dreamed of working in rural law, we want to hear from you.

What You will Be Doing:

  • Supporting clients with land transactions, tenancies, renewables, estate planning, and more.
  • Helping preserve the future of farming through our bespoke Farm Future service.
  • Working on everything from easements to diversification projects, claw back agreements, and unregistered land.
  • We do not dabble in agricultural, farming and rural matters. We are true experts in a sector that welcomes guidance and who understand the nuances, needs and sensitivities.
