About the Paralegal Apprenticeship

A paralegal is a person trained in subsidiary legal matters but not fully qualified as a lawyer. At Clifford Chance, paralegals provide essential support to lawyers across the areas of law the firm work in, making it a fantastic opportunity for those passionate about law. The role involves working in a team of paralegals at differing levels who work on various transactions. You will assist them with all aspects of delivery on a range of projects from referring practice areas across a number of Clifford Chance offices, whilst working towards attaining your legal apprenticeship qualification.

The Paralegal Apprentice will work under the Apprentice Manager along with daily supervision provided by the department's Management team, and the instructing lawyer (where applicable). You will complete a range of tasks for Clifford Chance Lawyers and work across different teams.
