WHAT IS A PARALEGAL?
As an independent qualified paralegal, I often get asked is ‘what is a paralegal?’ The National Association of Licensed Paralegals offer the following definition:
‘A person qualified through education and training to perform substantive legal work that requires knowledge of the law and procedures but who is not a qualified solicitor, …’
There are many specialist areas in law. It’s the same in paralegal services. My expertise is in the field of commercial law. I deal with most aspects of business law and will help you develop
- a robust contract tailored to your requirements
- bespoke terms and conditions that will stand up to legal challenges
- other legal documents, like your shareholders’ agreement.
I can also start the ball rolling if you have a customer who wont pay.
As you can see, I don’t deal with boilerplate business forms and documents. Your business is your livelihood. You can’t afford it to be weak and only find out after a legally challenge. You need business documents and processes designed to work for you.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PARALEGAL AND A SOLICITOR?
Happily for you, one of the main differences between a paralegal and a solicitor is that whilst I’m still a legal expert in commercial law, I’m not as expensive as a solicitor.
