    About this ebook

    Are you a law student at the very start of your legal career but not sure where to start? Are you prepared to invest in your knowledge to kickstart your Paralegal career? Do you need a helping hand with reviewing a contract?

    This eBook is an essential guide for anyone and everyone wanting to commence on a Legal Assistant, Paralegal or Junior Lawyer role.

    This guide will walk you through all of the steps needed to conduct legal research, effectively review a contract, gives you an insight to hidden clauses and offers you legal cv tips that to secure legal roles offering over £60k.

    After completing my first degree I embarked on a Paralegal role and realised I had no idea how to review and mark up a contract. I didn’t know how to make amendments and had no clue on what I was actually looking for within a contract. After a few years of progressing through my legal career, I have been able to quickly develop my expertise in commercial contracts, drafting and asking the right legal questions for the right legal outcomes.

    With this guide you will have what you need to make a START and a great first impression.
