Associate
litigation @99porkypig in TransportationJob Description
Strengths:
- Experience Range: The wide experience range (0-7 years) allows for flexibility in hiring, accommodating both junior and mid-level candidates.
- Specific Court Experience: The description clearly lists the types of courts the candidate should have experience with (High Court, Revenue Court, Consumer Court, DRT, NCLT, RERA).
- Document Drafting: It emphasizes the importance of drafting various legal documents, which is a core skill for this role.
- Due Diligence: Inclusion of “legal and technical due diligence” is a good addition, particularly for real estate.
Areas for Improvement:
- Industry Mismatch:
- The “Industry Type: Recruitment / Staffing” seems highly inaccurate for a litigation and real estate legal role. This should be corrected to “Real Estate,” “Legal Services,” or a similar relevant category. This is a very important correction.
- Clarity on “Revenue Matters”:
- “Revenue matters” can be broad. Specifying the types of revenue matters (e.g., land revenue, property tax) would be helpful.
- Specificity in Real Estate Documentation:
- While “documentation related to Real Estate” is mentioned, it could be more specific. Examples include sale agreements, lease deeds, title searches, etc.
- “Legal and Technical Due Diligence”:
- Expand on what “technical due diligence” entails. Does it involve site inspections, reviewing building plans, or working with surveyors?
- “Maintaining a relevant network”:
- This is a good point to include. However it could be expanded upon. What kind of network? Other lawyers? Government officials? Real estate professionals?
- “Litigation Management” and “Legal Management”
- Those two keyskills are very vague. What does that mean in context of this job? Is it managing a team? Managing a caseload? It needs to be more specific.
- Lack of Software/Technology Skills:
- In today’s legal environment, proficiency with legal research databases, case management software, and other relevant tools is important. Mentioning these skills would be beneficial.
- Responsibilities Depth:
- The responsibilities are listed, but they could be expanded upon. For example, instead of just “Initiate and follow through the legal and technical due diligence process,” you could add “Conduct thorough title searches, review property documents, and identify potential legal risks.”
- Quantifiable Goals:
- If possible, include quantifiable goals or expectations. For example, “Manage a caseload of X number of cases” or “Complete Y number of due diligence reports per month.”
- Specific Legal Acts:
- Mentioning specific legal acts that the candidate should be familiar with, such as the Transfer of Property Act, RERA Act, or specific state-level land laws, would be beneficial.
- Education section.
- While any graduate is listed, it is assumed that a law degree is required. It should be explicitly stated that a LLB or equivalent law degree is required.
Revised Example of a Responsibility:
- Instead of: “Initiate and follow through the legal and technical due diligence process.”
- Use: “Conduct comprehensive legal and technical due diligence, including title searches, document review, and site inspections, to identify and mitigate potential legal risks associated with real estate transactions.”
