Interested in law?
At LCP, we pride ourselves on our ability to drive meaningful change and deliver unparalleled service to our clients in a wide range of industries. Our Legal Team is an integral part of our success, contributing to insightful analysis, industry expertise, and game-changing technology across various sectors.
Who we are looking for
Our goal is to foster growth and development within our legal team, ensuring our professionals receive the support they need to excel. Candidates who join our team on a paralegal basis will, subject to business need, have the opportunity to apply to progress in their legal careers through two distinct qualification pathways, accommodating individuals at different stages of their legal education.
A paralegal joining us who successfully completes a fixed-term contract of up to two years, will be eligible to apply for either a period of recognised training (commonly referred to as a training contract) or the solicitor apprenticeship:
- Training Contract (for LPC graduates). For those who have completed their Legal Practice Course (LPC), we offer a two-year formal training contract. During this period, you will have the opportunity to work on various projects across different practice areas, gaining practical experience and insight into the diverse aspects of LCP's legal operations.
- Solicitor Apprenticeship (for Law BSC /GDL graduates). For Law BSC and Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) graduates who have not completed the LPC, we offer the Solicitors Graduate Apprenticeship which is expected to last for two and a half years. This program combines on-the-job training with part-time study, allowing you to work towards your qualification while contributing to LCP's legal team.
Both routes to qualification will see you work alongside senior members of the team who will guide and support you through this exciting journey, enabling you to develop the necessary skills and expertise to become a successful solicitor. Joining our Legal Team means becoming part of a small yet dynamic group that manages numerous demands while actively handling a wide array of legal matters. By working with us, you will gain valuable experience, build strong legal and commercial skills, and contribute to LCP's ongoing success.
