PROFFESIONAL training

At Family First Lawyers, we are committed to supporting the academic and professional growth of our junior paralegals who are currently studying for their LLB. Our senior leadership team is highly experienced and offers personalised, one on one tuition style support, ensuring that every paralegal receives the guidance they need to succeed.

Through this hands on approach, we provide valuable insights into the daily life of a solicitor, including shadowing opportunities and real world exposure to legal practice. This experience not only enhances their studies but also helps our junior paralegals make informed decisions about their future career paths whether that’s qualifying as a solicitor, pursuing a career as a barrister, or exploring other exciting roles such as the civil service.

With Family First Lawyers, you’ll gain the knowledge, confidence, and practical experience to shape your legal career in the way that suits you best.

At Family First Lawyers, we pride ourselves on our one of a kind, innovative training team dedicated to nurturing the next generation of legal professionals. Our Head of Training, Aminah Karim, is an accomplished lecturer with extensive experience and currently leads our LLB Cohort.

We are excited to announce that we will soon be offering in-house SQE (Solicitors Qualifying Examination) preparation exclusively for our paralegals who successfully complete their probation period. This unique initiative not only provides high-quality SQE teaching but also ensures that the practical work our paralegals undertake with us counts towards their qualifying work experience (QWE).

With our tailored support, expert guidance, and commitment to professional development, Family First Lawyers is the ideal place to launch and advance your legal career. Join us and take the next step towards qualifying as a solicitor with confidence and real-world experience.
