About the Paralegal role:

Have you thought about a career in law but are worried about the costs of university? Maybe you just want to get into the world of work and start your career. If so, Norton Rose Fulbright's Apprenticeship Programme might be for you.

We have up to four vacancies for talented individuals to join our Apprenticeship Programme in Newcastle starting in September 2024. We are looking for talent of the future - enterprising, innovative and technologically minded individuals with the intellectual curiosity and aptitude needed to thrive in our global legal business.

As an apprentice you will work alongside and learn from some of the brightest minds in commercial law, helping to solve some of our clients' most complex legal and business problems while learning the academic and practical skills needed to excel as a paralegal. You will receive a high standard of training from us while studying one day per week.

On successful completion of the Apprenticeship Programme, you will achieve a Paralegal Level 3 Apprenticeship Certificate of Higher Education at which point (subject to performance) we hope to keep you on board as a permanent paralegal within our Newcastle office. If you demonstrate the right skills and abilities they may offer you the opportunity to embark on a solicitor apprenticeship giving you the opportunity to eventually qualify as a solicitor.

Our Apprenticeship Programme applications close on Sunday 18th February 2024, and our assessment day will take place in April.
