Can I work as a paralegal if I complete the GDL or CPE?

[Senior Partner]

hello

I am an LLM graduate in international trade law 2010 at the University of the West of England in Bristol UK . I have graduated in Romania the law degree 2007. Can I ask you if I will start the CPE course = conversion course, and will graduate that, will I then be able to work as a paralegal here in UK or I need to undertake another special course after the CPE? Who takes the CPE course has recognised law degree in the UK.

Many Thanks,

Yes. Please see previous posts and also http://www.legalrecruitment.blogspot.com. Paralegals do not need any qualifications. You just decide one day you are going to be a paralegal and that is about it! It is like deciding you are going to be a secretary or an estate agent. No qualifications are strictly necessary.
