[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 12798, member: 2672"] Paralegals typically have already completed their legal education. The biggest downside is most firms are recruiting 2-3 years in advance, when you could start a training contract tomorrow if you have completed the LPC. Firms get nervous about that time gap - you could qualify in that time with another firm or you could take the equivalent means process, so why are you going to wait for this firm? There can also be a question of “why haven’t you got/why won’t you get a TC with the firm you are currently working at?” The SQE could change all of the above though - especially where firms and trainees don’t have to commit to two years, which will mean more immediate supply and demand opportunities will arise. Biggest downside for the candidate is juggling a job and applications. Students will typically be much more time rich than someone working - meaning they have more time to make considered applications and go to careers events etc. [/QUOTE]
