    • ]]>     To successfully land a legal executive job, candidates must have at least five years experience working under the supervision of a solicitor.

These specialist areas include: conveyancing, civil and criminal litigation, family law and probate.

    Those with legal executive jobs have their own client files and work independently; their legal fees are paid directly to them which is the crucial difference between a legal executive and other legal support staff.
