Can a Paralegal only work in a law firm? What do Paralegals do?
Apart from the obvious position of working as a legal assistant in a legal practice, numerous employment opportunities exist for Paralegals. A perusal of the career section of the local newspaper will frequently show that the market place is looking for the services of Paralegals in many areas. The skills of a Paralegal will be an asset in any legal environment, both in the public and private sector: Legal practitioners, Community centres and Advice offices, Banks, Insurance Companies, Magistrates, Estate Agents and Civil Service Departments.
