“I am currently working at a top 10 City firm as a paralegal and really enjoying it. The people are great, the work is really interesting and the clients are top-notch. I’ve been here now for two years and, when I began my path to a legal career, this firm was always at the top of my list of places to work.

“I have now been offered an in-house paralegal role with the opportunity to take a training contract with that company’s external counsel. The role itself is a great role. However, the external counsel is not a top City firm; it is mid-sized one, probably top 75 in the UK.
