Hi @Jessica Booker, do you know how far in advance firms tend to recruit paralegals/legal assistants and what is the best way to go about this, as I am applying for vac schemes/TCs but would like to secure something for when I graduate in May. Thank you!

Usually about 4-10 weeks ahead of the role starting. Most paralegals are only on 4-8 weeks notice and so recruitment tends to be fairly immediate unlike TCs.
