About Lexdeed

Lexdeed (lexdeed.com) is a technology-driven property due diligence platform serving banks, NBFCs, and housing finance companies in Tamil Nadu. We help financial institutions make faster, safer lending decisions through structured, audit-ready legal verification of property titles. Backed by senior legal expertise from the Madras High Court, we're redefining how property due diligence is done in India.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Legal Manager to lead our legal verification operations. This is a high-ownership, foundational role - you will be the primary legal authority at Lexdeed, responsible for the quality and accuracy of every due diligence report we deliver to our clients.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead end-to-end legal review of property title documents — including ownership chain verification, encumbrance checks, revenue records, litigation status, and regulatory compliance

- Own the quality and sign-off of due diligence reports delivered to bank and NBFC clients

- Manage and mentor a team of junior advocates and legal executives

- Serve as the primary legal point of escalation for client queries and complex cases

- Review and interpret key documents including sale deeds, EC, patta, chitta, A-register, building approvals, and RERA filings

- Identify title defects, legal risks, and encumbrances — and recommend clear mitigations

- Stay current on Tamil Nadu property law, registration rules, revenue department circulars, and relevant court precedents

Who are we looking for

* LLB / LLM with 6–10 years of experience in property law,



conveyancing, or legal due diligence

* Strong command of Tamil Nadu-specific property laws: Registration Act, Transfer of Property Act, Tamil Nadu Land Reforms Act, RERA, SARFAESI, etc.

* Prior experience working with or for banks, NBFCs, HFCs, or legal due diligence firms is strongly preferred

* Fluent in Tamil (written and spoken) — essential for reviewing regional documents

* Sharp eye for detail with a structured, process-oriented approach to legal review

* Comfortable working in a quick-moving startup environment with a lean team

What We Offer

* Competitive compensation with performance-linked incentives

* A foundational leadership role in a growing LegalTech startup

* Direct collaboration with the founding team and senior legal advisors

* Opportunity to shape legal standards and quality benchmarks for property due diligence in Tamil Nadu

* Work that matters — helping financial institutions make safer lending decisions

Location: Chennai, Tamil Nadu (On-site)

Reports to: Co-Founder & CEO

Don't check every box? Apply anyway.

We care more about how you think through a title problem than how many years you've been doing it. If you have a solid grounding in Tamil Nadu property law and a genuine interest in building something meaningful in LegalTech, we'd love to hear from you. Lexdeed is an early-stage company — which means the right person can grow into this role, not just fit into it.
