Hey all,

I'm currently a future trainee and I'm doing my LPC full-time, from last September through to June 2023. My TC starts in 2024 so I'm looking for some paralegal work to fill the time after my LPC.

When would be a sensible time to start looking for paralegal work to begin immediately after my LPC? I'm thinking March but I'm not sure if this is too early/late.

Thanks.

I would start looking 6-8 weeks before you are available. Most paralegal roles have a fairly short recruitment process and want people to start fairly soon.
