About the Legal Sector

Every successful society is built on a strong legal framework. Legal jobs are found throughout all economic sectors, and their importance is usually reflected in excellent remuneration and benefits. However, legal professionals also need to be able to deal with a great deal of pressure and situations that are sometimes emotionally draining.

The varied nature of jobs in the legal sector means that legal professionals can set themselves apart by becoming highly specialised in a particular field. Of course, this means that working as a legal professional can also be coupled with areas of personal interest.

By working in law, you’ll be helping people and companies navigate smoothly through some of the most stressful, exciting and beautiful moments of their lives.

Popular Legal Roles

Paralegal

As a paralegal, your main responsibilities will involve helping the senior members of the legal team to prepare documents for upcoming cases, mergers, trails and more. From contracts to correspondence, case files and meeting minutes, almost all the most important documentation in the legal department will land on your desk at some stage. For that reason, paralegals need to be highly organised, excellent researchers and constantly up to date with the latest legal developments in their area of expertise. Solid software skills are also vital for paralegals these days.

Legal Secretary

Among a legal secretary’s main responsibilities is ensuring the smooth running of the office and providing general administrative support to the senior legal team and paralegals. Legal secretaries are frequently the first point of contact for clients, and need to be friendly, patient and understanding in their interactions. Working as a legal secretary isn’t all admin though - legal secretaries may be expected to contribute to the drafting of certain legal documents such as wills.

Legal Assistant

Legal assistants are the engine that keep the legal office running. Depending on the speciality of the legal office you are working in, working as a legal assistant will see you preparing evidence for court cases, checking legal documents for standards and accuracy, keeping clients informed of the progress of their cases, and researching laws, regulations and precedent pertaining to ongoing proceedings. The nature of the legal assistant’s job means that these individual need to be well-rounded and tech savvy.

Solicitor

Solicitors are fully qualified experts who provide legal advice and guidance to companies, state-run institutions and private individuals. They will often also take action on behalf of their clients by representing them in meetings and writing and sending legal documents. Solicitors won’t necessarily represent clients in court -this would more often be done by a barrister or special advocate. Employers looking to add solicitors to their team frequently look for candidates with experience in the role, strong relationship-building skills, meticulous attention to detail, and excellent communication skills. One key function of solicitors is explaining complicated legal matters in language that unspecialised clients will be able to digest.
