  About Lexdeed

  
  

  Lexdeed () 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 fast-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.
