Frequently asked questions

Are you looking for new paralegal employment opportunities? There is a huge demand for paralegals! There are many different forms of law and legal specialised areas, and career possibilities for paralegals are expected to expand exponentially in the upcoming years. To find more about paralegal jobs, please visit Simply Law Jobs.

A paralegal is a valuable and essential part of a legal team. These team members have a broad understanding of the law and legal issues but are not licensed attorneys. Paralegals are responsible for a range of administrative and legal tasks.

The answer to the question, 'How to become a paralegal in the UK' is that there are no set admission requirements if you want to apply for the job. However, a related degree, as well as high GCSE and A-Level results, will put you in good stead. A Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) or completion of a Legal Practice Course is common among paralegals (LPC).

You could enrol in an advanced paralegal apprenticeship. As a combination of workplace learning and study, this usually takes 24 months to complete. The time duration for every single course out there is not the same and there’s likely to be a lot of variation depending on the institute where you are enrolled.

Paralegals are not qualified solicitors, but they are trained to perform legal activities and provide legal aid. They can do almost anything a solicitor can do, with the exception of Reserved Activities. A paralegal cannot sign such documents on your behalf, but a solicitor may.

Description

Paralegal Job Description

These members of law firms are not qualified solicitors, barristers, chartered legal executives, or licensed conveyancers, despite taking some type of training. For example, you could work for a solicitors' firm, a paralegal law business, or a set of chambers, as well as in the commercial and public sectors, such as government or industry, or for not-for-profit organisations and charities. According to the paralegal job description, the job titles differ due to several; factors. These factors may include the company you work for, your expertise, and the type of law you practice. 

Paralegal Job Responsibilities

Your work activities will be determined by your level of specialisation and expertise, as well as the sort of employer you work for. As a paralegal, you will need to perform office administration, such as billing and letter writing, keep track of appointments, plan meetings, reply to phone calls, prepare early drafts of documents, such as contracts, and proofread them and carry out legal studies. Other responsibilities may include examining and entering legal information and composing articles for internal or external distribution. Maintaining case files, attending court inquests and tribunals, transcribing legal opinions, and putting together litigation bundles is also your responsibility.

Skills Required to Build A Paralegal Career

You must have administrative abilities for filing, typing, and letter writing in the office. Excellent cooperation abilities, especially when collaborating with other departments to achieve tasks, are a plus. Negotiation abilities to work with clients are also required. Law firms also demand a work style that is versatile and flexible. Commercial acumen and a grasp of the clients' requirements also come in handy. You must deal with colleagues, senior partners, experts, and clients with professionalism. Excellent attention to detail to thoroughly examine files and data leads to a successful career.
