Capital or no Capital that is the question?

[LawyerG]

I am currently inserting the work experience section of an application form. I don't whether my supervisor position needs be in a capital, see extract below:

As the sole Paralegal, I review and advise on all commercial contracts received by the business as well as providing legal support to the firm's Contracts Lawyer.

Does "Contracts Lawyer" need to be in capitals as my position being a paralegal is?

'To summarise the capitalisation of job titles, you capitalise the job title when it comes immediately before the name, in a formal context or in a direct address. It is not generally capitalised if it comes after the person's name, or if there is a "the" before it.' So, in this case, I would put it in lowercase

Just to be clear, does Paralegal does not need to be capitalised either right?

It's a tricky one but I would have it lowercase in this context yeah

If you are referring to a team, I'm assuming its need to be in capitals? See below:

"the Legal team's services" or "During my placement in the Corporate team"

I don't think it is actually, @Jaysen this is something you pick up on quite frequently in applications is it not?

I wouldn't capitalise either. Only capitalise if you are referring to the official name/title of a department, so you could say: "During my placement in Corporate".
