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.

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.
