How to Become a Paralegal in the UK

Being a paralegal in the UK doesn’t require an individual to obtain any specific or mandatory qualifications. However, relevant learning, skills, or experience are required in the field. Most students starting off to become paralegals may need to obtain a degree in law or a non-law degree and may require an additional law conversion degree program, namely the ‘Graduate Diploma in Law’ (GDL). In other cases, certification courses for paralegals are available through NALP, CILEX, or through online paralegal training courses focusing on the development of specific skills in law.

It is important to gain experience by participating in internships, law clinics, or entry-level positions in law firms as a ‘Legal Assistant’ or ‘Administrative’ role. Expertise in writing, organizing, communication, detail, or researching skills are an added advantage for paralegals.

Although certification as a paralegal is not mandatory, being a member or holding a ‘Continuing Professional Development’ (CPD) certification can assist to a greater degree. With experience, paralegals also qualify to take senior roles or opt to become a solicitor or law executive.
