Legal support staff

Support staff are key to the success of every law firm so the quality of their training should match the high standards expected by fee earners. However, the range of support staff in law firms varies enormously – and so do their training needs.
As the UK’s leading provider of legal education and training, we have consulted leading law firms to design programmes specifically for support staff and legal secretaries.

Our Legal Support Skills programme provides high-quality, user-friendly and effective in-house training for legal secretaries.

For secretarial staff, para-legals and conveyancing staff with no formal legal training, The College of Law, in partnership with the Land Registry, offers the Certificate in Land Registration Law & Practice.
