🚀 Growing as a Paralegal: Building the Foundations of My Legal Career 🚀 People often look down on paralegal roles, seeing them as glorified admin for solicitors. I disagree. Like any other role, it’s what you make of it. I joined my current firm in September 2022, fresh out of Bar school. While I had theoretical knowledge of judicial reviews, working on real cases with real people was a different challenge altogether. Working in a legal aid firm gave me responsibility quickly—managing my own case list and handling everything from age assessments to homelessness appeals, Bibby Stockholm cases, Care Act assessments, and more. Hundreds of cases later, I've gained experience across public law, community care, and housing law. My ability to be flexible and learn on the job has allowed me to approach cases with creative problem-solving, especially when working with clients, like migrants, who have limited access to mainstream benefits. I could have stayed in a simple support role, but I pushed myself to absorb every bit of knowledge possible. These skills will undoubtedly serve me well as I continue to grow and dedicate my career to help the most vulnerable. 💪 What do you think makes a paralegal role truly valuable? #ParalegalLife #LegalCareer #PublicLaw #CommunityCareLaw #HousingLaw #LegalAid #ProblemSolving #CareerGrowth
