Start Your Journey as a Paralegal

As part of the Bowcock & Pursaill Graduate Scheme, you’ll begin your career as a paralegal, a vital role that provides the foundation for future qualification as a solicitor.  

Paralegals play a key part in the legal process, supporting solicitors with tasks such as legal research, preparing documents, liaising with clients, and managing case files. It’s a hands-on, immersive introduction to the legal profession where you’ll learn by doing, gaining practical skills, building your legal knowledge, and making a meaningful contribution to our clients and teams from day one. 

This is more than just work experience, it’s the first step on your professional journey in a firm that’s committed to your growth.
