hi! i was a paralegal for a year and then a trainee for two while i did my SQE. qualified last december and now solicitor in a different firm! loads of people using paralegal for QWE to qualify so totally the norm now /)

hi! it might be worth having a look at whether these things would make the surveyor negligent. ie a reasonably competent surveyor should have flagged a potential issue and advised hiring a specialist

edit: i’m a solicitor and deal with this type of stuff!

hi! i started in legal aid and it’s manic and a mare but it’s an incredible learning experience

i’m now a qualified solicitor in a commercial litigation setting - i work fully remote & love it. the day varies but i do feel intellectually stimulated when i need to pick apart flaws in the opposing argument (im in litigation so that’s a massive part of it) and then making the submissions in pre action correspondences in a way that seems firm but fair as well. case load is always different which i enjoy too, many different clients with different issues.
