The rising costs of postgraduate courses and the scarcity of Training Contracts and Pupilages has led to large numbers of educated and skilled people unable to find employment in the legal profession.

At G2 Legal we are able to assist in the search for Paralegal work which will allow you to 'get your foot in the door' and with application the possibility of progression onto a training contract or of gaining sponsorship for the LPC.

We will only be able to help you find a Training Contract or Pupilage in exceptional circumstances. Most of our Clients are looking for someone to join on a permanent or medium term contract basis and we do not therefore assist those looking for a 'stop gap' for a few weeks while they are waiting for something better to come along.

It is much easier to find suitable positions for you if you have previous legal experience. Ideally our clients look for at least 6 months experience. Work shadowing and mini pupilages do not count as experience, although valuable in their own right. We do appreciate that this is a 'Catch 22' situation. Not all is lost though and we have ongoing requirements for paralegals at client firms countrywide. If you send us an up to date CV we will then be in a position to contact you when suitable vacancies arise in your area.
