    Thank you Jessica. I am currently on Graduate Visa with around a year and a half left so I will mainly apply for FTC roles. One other problem is that my probation will end this month. Upon passing my probation, my notice period will be three months instead of one. So I am thinking about...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Hi everyone, I am a paralegal and I am thinking about resigning and apply for a different position. My current notice period is one month. From my understanding, there will probably be quite a few openings for a September start as future trainees leave their position. Does anyone know when will...

    Seld-fund SQE, LLM or Paralegal if I am looking to apply for TC, as an international student

    To be honest, I don't think these document review projects are as valuable as paralegal positions. They are basically reviewing documents for litigation/arbitration cases. Pretty boring and repetitive work imo. If you intend to secure a TC, it's best to start with these experience and find...

    Seld-fund SQE, LLM or Paralegal if I am looking to apply for TC, as an international student

    Hi, I applied for a 6-month fixed term position but they had an permanent position opening so I got the permanent one eventually. The HR at my firm said they may be able to sponsor in two years but not sure right now. DA Solutions and Flex Legal are both quite good but I only did short term...

    Seld-fund SQE, LLM or Paralegal if I am looking to apply for TC, as an international student

    Hiya, I'm an international student and graduated LLB last year. I applied for the graduate visa and I am currently a paralegal. It is highly unlikely that firms sponsor visa for paralegals so I think graduate visa is a must for such roles. But if you apply for Fix Term Contract positions...

    Paralegal without experience

    Hi there, I got a paralegal position with around 4 month of internships without LPC. I would say don't worry too much about the requirements for previous experience and just submit! It is sadly a numbers game and I think I sent at least 150 applications in until I finally land my current one...
