  • Employment / Jobs / Working for a Law firm

    Hi LB forumites,
    Since working on a court case (my claim against an organisation), I have become very interested in law.
    It has been a steep learning curve, but I have enoyed it, including writing my PoC over 10k words.

    I now need a job, and wish to explore job vacanies in law firms.

    ... I appreciate that for many roles, nothing short of a law degree will no doubt be the minimum requirement. (I have a degree, but not in Law)

    However, what qualifications are required for administrative / clerical roles within law firms? ... Do you need a specialised qualification to work as a Paralegal or Legal Secretary?

    Any feedback would be much appreciated.

    Neither paralegals nor secrretaries are or require formal law qualifications. Qualifications are available.

      ... qualifications are available for these roles but aren't necessary. Thanks
