Other opportunities
Many graduate enquirers are sometimes unsure as to whether being a solicitor is the right career choice for them. Here at FBC Manby Bowdler, should a candidate meet certain criteria, there may be an opportunity to gain experience of life in a legal office as a paralegal for a period of time, before a training choice is made.
Paralegal
The paralegal role is all encompassing, the majority of time is spent providing administrative support within a department, but this role would also provide the opportunity to assist legal staff in liaison with clients, the drafting of documentation and co-ordination of the various matters or transactions within a department. We employ many paralegals in each of our specialist departments across the firm; it's a very important role at this practice.
Legal Executive / Licensed Conveyancer
We employ many Legal Executives and specialist Licensed Conveyancers, all qualified lawyers, who perhaps have chosen to specialise in a particular area of law. Many have gained their qualifications whilst working in a paralegal capacity within the firm.
All enquiries, with the exception of a Trainee Solicitor Contract, should be directed to the Managing Partner: k.carr@fbcmb.co.uk
