Paralegal position in Paris, France
Posté: Mer 31 Mai 2017 19:32
Hi to everyone,
I was wondering if anybody could give me some advice on the paralegal position in France. I have lived in Paris previously for 3 years and have worked in legal administrative positions. I really would like to develop my career as a paralegal and am weighing up my options between France and the UK. Would anybody be able to tell me about how to become a paralegal in France? I know people who have started as legal assistants and then progressed to paralegal positions, however I am aware that this has taken more than a few years. Is there any qualifications that I can take to find a paralegal job in Paris? I have not studied law, I have studied languages (4 year degree in the UK) but I would be willing and I am quite eager to take further qualifications in law; however I do not want to go back to studying at university full-time – as I do not have the financial resources and because at 27, I feel like the time has passed for this. I have also looked into doing an English law qualification part-time and online and wondered if an English law qualification would be looked upon favourably in France?
Would anybody be able to tell me about their experiences becoming a paralegal in Paris and in particular; what qualifications they have and what their daily tasks entail?
Many thanks!!
