Which firm was that? I know people who got interviews with Irwin Mitchell without having the LPC or relevant experience.

Are they paralegals? I've never had much contact with them but seemed like a fairly good firm.

Hello! I also have completed the LPC, following a 2.1 at university, but still no luck in finding a training contract or even a paralegal position!

It seems most firms do want experience even for paralegal position, so I've started looking into some more voluntary work. You good give that a try?
