Paralegals play a crucial role in the provision of legal services, collaborating closely with solicitors and barristers to offer vital support within the legal field. They can be found in private law firms as legal assistants, legal executives, and legal secretaries, as well as in various positions across both the public and private sectors. Numerous paralegals also work in non-legal professions that involve legal responsibilities, such as caseworkers, company secretaries, compliance officers, contracts managers, housing advisors, HR specialists, financial consultants, local authority personnel, and will writers.

Are paralegals qualified lawyers?
Paralegals are legal practitioners employed in law firms who do not hold qualifications as solicitors, barristers, or CILEX Lawyers. Although they are typically seen as support personnel, many firms increasingly depend on paralegals to handle a significant portion of the fee-generating tasks once managed by solicitors.
