ROLE OVERVIEW

We are looking for a Non-Practising Advocate to join Roswalt Realty's in-house Legal team, focused entirely on the non-litigation (transactional/advisory) side of real estate law. This role does not involve appearing before courts, tribunals or quasi-judicial authorities.

The right candidate is a qualified advocate who has chosen to move away from courtroom practice and specialise in transactional real estate law, contract drafting, title due diligence and compliance management — with the maturity to work independently across multiple live transactions and liaise directly with registration and regulatory authorities.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

— Draft, vet and review agreements for sale, sale deeds, leave and license agreements, lease deeds, MoUs, JV/JDA agreements and other property-related contracts.

— Conduct legal due diligence on land/property titles, including title search, chain of documents, encumbrance checks and flagging of title defects or risks.

— Liaise with sub-registrar offices, revenue authorities, municipal bodies and RERA for documentation, registration and regulatory filings — without representing the company in any litigation or adversarial proceeding.

— Ensure end-to-end compliance with RERA, the Transfer of Property Act, Registration Act, Stamp Act and applicable state real estate/land laws.

— Support acquisition and disposal of properties by preparing legal checklists, coordinating with external counsel where litigation input is required, and maintaining documentation trails.

— Draft and review internal legal notices, contractual correspondence and compliance communications (non-litigious in nature).

— Maintain and update templates for standard agreements, appointment letters, vendor contracts and property documentation used across departments.





— Coordinate with external law firms/counsel on matters that move into litigation, acting as the internal point of contact without personally appearing or pleading.

— Advise internal stakeholders (Sales, Projects, HR, Finance) on legal implications of transactions, contracts and property matters.

— Track and manage timelines for regulatory approvals, renewals, licenses and statutory filings relevant to real estate projects.

CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS

— LL.B. (3-year or 5-year integrated) from a recognised university; LL.M. is an added advantage.

— Enrolled with a State Bar Council as an Advocate, but currently practising as Non-Litigation / Non-Practising (i.e., not appearing in court matters).

— 2–7 years of relevant post-qualification experience strictly on the transactional/non-litigation side — with a law firm's real estate practice, a builder/developer, or a corporate legal/compliance team.

— Strong hands-on experience in real estate documentation: title due diligence, sale/lease deeds, JV/JDA structuring, RERA filings and property compliance.

— Sound working knowledge of the Transfer of Property Act, Registration Act, Indian Stamp Act, RERA (state-specific rules) and relevant municipal/land revenue regulations.

— Excellent drafting, review and negotiation skills for commercial and property contracts.

— Ability to work independently with minimal supervision, manage multiple transactions simultaneously,



and coordinate with external counsel/authorities.

— Strong attention to detail, with a process-oriented, deadline-driven approach to documentation and compliance.

— Degree preference: prior experience within a real estate developer, realty brokerage or property advisory firm; exposure to redevelopment / SRA transactions and working knowledge of Marathi/Hindi are an added advantage.
