Taking minutes and writing up notes for meetings or legal proceedings
Conducting legal research and writing up advice notes
Drafting legal documents such as settlement agreements, contracts, and legal pleadings
Other ad-hoc duties and tasks as dictated by the business and client needs

You will receive full training which will combine on-the-job learning and formal structured sessions to ensure you are fully equipped to succeed in the role.

Apprentice paralegals have a dedicated weekly study day during which they study legal foundation subjects and skills modules delivered by the University of Law as well as prepare for a range of assessments
Paralegal apprentices spend the remaining four days per week working with colleagues in the office
