Paralegal roles and other non TC/VS opportunities

[Jessica Booker]

Is there anywhere in particular people would recommend looking for contract/temp roles of this sort?

LinkedIn (set up job alerts)
Law Gazette jobs (set up job alerts)
Register with agencies who focus on supplying paralegals to firms on a temp basis in your local area

DA Solutions are an agency where you can find temp work and they’ve been good for me. I believe they are London based though

Don't know if this has been said but maybe F-LEX?

I am registered with F-LEX, but there havebeen literally two roles that I didn't even qualify for in the recent months
Could someone give any advice on how to find a paralegal role without LPC? Would you recommend reaching out to people on Linkedin directly? I have also tried this, but without any luck. The furthest I got was that someone checked out my Linkedin profile..

no - it’s not worth contacting people directly. Unfortunately the job market at the moment is incredibly flat. It would normally be quiet at this time of year anyway, but given the lack of people in offices, recruitment for these type of roles is put on a back burner.

Register with agencies, keep the job alerts on sites like LinkedIn up to date and you’ll need some patience. Things may pick up towards the end of this year.

For graduates who're looking to get their foot in the door but haven't got a TC yet, thought I'd leave this here https://careers.societegenerale.com...m_source=google_jobs_apply&utm_medium=organic

I worked for this bank before in this exact same role (not in London). Feel free to ask any questions

Last I checked, Goldman Sachs also had openings for legal analysts (heard from a friend that the work that legal analysts do at GS is very similar to paralegaling). Could be worth looking at compliance related work too

F-LEX is great. There is also LOD (Lawyers on Demand) and Vario from Pinsent Masons.

But their selection criteria is slightly more stringent — usually they want you to have done the LPC and ask if you have a training contract offer.

Hey, so for Goldman Sachs legal analyst role, you'd have to apply thru their New Analyst programme. Once you create an account, choose the year (2021, last I checked 2020 didn't have any live openings but could be wrong) and choose the option that says new analyst (or New Associate if you find that to be more suitable to your experience). Location would be London (or wherever else but only certain locations have legal analyst openings) and then you get to the division where legal is one of the options. You could also decide to apply to other departments that interest you more..here's the link:

For SocGen's legal trainee opening in London, this is the link:

I don't have much experience with compliance roles but saving a search on indeed for junior level compliance roles would be a good start.. just happened to come across Barclays' compliance analyst opportunities, it says in this link that applications open in autumn:

Good luck!

Has anyone heard back from Goldman Sachs for their legal analyst programme? My application has been 'under review' for a while now.
