Hi - a few agencies that spring to mind are F-Lex and Paralaw! They are great places to start and normally take on graduates with limited paralegal experience.
I've been invited to Accutrainee's assessment centre next week. I was wondering if anyone on the forum had any prior experience with their process and could provide any tips?
The assessment centre consists of the following:
1. Presentation on topic of my choice
2. Competency interview
3...
Hi Hazal, thank you very much for these tips!
I was wondering how you would handle the subtle differences when writing for "Please explain why you want to be a solicitor at XYZ firm?" question? Would you explain some tasks that a trainee solicitor might do as well as your motivations for the firm?
Thanks, this is really useful! Do you have any tips around how to communicate when negotiating? i.e. I am assuming that being concise is really important.
What style of question should you ask? i.e. open or closed
I also had a direct TC interview with Forsters. The format was really relaxed and I think they were trying to really get to know you. One question that I know they ask a lot from speaking to other AC candidates is "Why Forsters, a West End firm, over a big international city firm?"

In essence, you should be able to come away from the event knowing exactly how each of...
I spoke with Womble's grad recruitment team at LawCareersNetLive. For this question they advised really focusing on linking the client to the firm's core departments. She mentioned that you should demonstrate an understanding of the differing type of work that each office completes by tailoring...
Hi guys,
Would anyone mind giving me any tips on improving my 'why commercial law' answer?
I am conscious that at the moment I have taken the approach of describing what I have learned from experiences and from those trying to explain why I find commercial law appealing. Maybe I could take a...
Hi everyone,
I am Tom. I am a history with contemporary Chinese studies graduate from the University of Nottingham and now I am working at BT on a dual role. Half of my role entails acting as a paralegal in the litigation team, the other half is working in their counsel management team, which...
Thanks, that's helpful to know. I missed the open day this year but I just wondered if there was a general time limit on these sorts of things when applying?
I attended a number of open days in 2017. At what point does saying 'I am attracted to X law firm because of the conversation with trainees...' become outdated/flimsy evidence?
