Hi, I am a 2023 LLB graduate from RS group currently on my two years graduate visa and applying for a paralegal job, and hopefully to get a TC from paralegalling.

From various online resources, I noticed that many big firms do not look for TC applicants from their paralegals at all. Whilst some small or medium do. Does anyone know where and how you can access this information (as in, which firms do recruit TC from paralegals, and which do not). Thank you so much!

    I am not sure this is true. It is likely they mean that Paralegals have to go through the same recruitment process as external candidates. However, those candidates who are working at the firm would have an advantage, in my view, when applying in getting through to subsequent stages.
