    Hi all,

    I wish to apply for paralegal roles at commercial corporate firms while applying or TC's. However, I have absolutely no idea of what to include in a paralegal cover letter. For a TC cover letter, I would usually follow why commercial law, why that firm and why you. I was wondering if anyone has any paralegal experience if they could help me out please? I also wanted to ask if a general cover letter, mostly 'copy pasting' cover letter contents is something that can be done for paralegal roles?

    If anyone is also aware of any recruitment agencies other than Flex Legal, I would be very grateful!

    Thank you so much!
