[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 77011, member: 2672"] If you are not dealing with English law but qualify via the SQE route, it will be very difficult to find a NQ role in England/Wales, just because the market standard will be that you’ll be up against candidates who have two years experience dealing with English law. It’s pretty impossible to say - no one has qualified via this route yet. Paralegal roles vary massively - some are very admin based and unlikely to compare to what a firm would offer trainees. Paralegal roles that are more sophisticated might meet law firms’ expectations more where it is more like that of a trainee. However, just assuming your work is of a trainee level isn’t going to guarantee you a good chance of getting a NQ role. The work will have to be with the type of clients and the type of matters the firm deals with regularly. We see this issue with foreign qualified lawyers all the time in the current system and the QLTS. [/QUOTE]
