Our full-service legal practice offers a comprehensive range of expert corporate, property, and private legal services. Our philosophy is simple; we put our clients at the centre of everything we do and bring clarity to the most complex problems.

We have fantastic people at Field Seymour Parkes and know that every single one of them is key to our success. Our Family FSP ethos ensures that there are opportunities for all. In the same way that we build lasting relationships to support our clients through their personal and business lives, we aim to do the same for our employees.

We have exceptional opportunities for aspiring or experienced Paralegals across multiple teams. Previous legal experience is not essential for this role.

As a paralegal you will support lawyers with a wide variety of tasks, giving you plenty of interesting experience across a varied caseload. This is an opportunity with real development potential so while initially you may have a lot of administrative work to do, as you grow in experience you will take on increasing amounts of responsibility and client contact – how far you can go depends on your talent and ability.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

We think it’s a great starting point to build a quality legal career. We expect you to have a strong academic record, including ideally a qualifying law degree, together with excellent communication skills, initiative, drive, perseverance, and a ‘can do’ attitude. Those qualities are more important to us than relevant paralegal experience, but some experience would be considered an advantage. If these attributes shine out from your CV and covering letter, we would like to hear from you.
