Course Purpose

As more and more solicitors are looking for legal secretaries who can also under take paralegal work we beleive that in a few years from now para-legal secretaries will be seen as the prefered type of legal secretary. Consequently with our eye on the future the purpose of this two-in-one programme is to give you a better chance of securing work as a legal secretary. Our aim is not just to train you, we also want to help you get employed as a legal secretary, whether in a large city firm of lawyers or the more traditional High St law practice.

For example, you may be seeking legal secretarial work for the first time. Hoping to cross over from a non legal background you recognise that the question of ?previous legal experience? may well become an issue. Also, you may find yourself in competition with others seeking the same job. How do you make sure that you don?t fall at the first hurdle?

By giving you additional training in the work of a paralegal or legal assistant you can market yourself as a para-legal secretary, something more and more law firms are looking for. In turn this can be the thing that will give you the advantage necessary to secure the job for yourself.

Our unique legal assistant/paralegal training - featured in the EVENING STANDARD?S ?Just The Job? article on Legal Secretaries (25/01/99) - together with our How To Get Work Guide, has helped many to get into the legal field.
