In this episode I am joined by Lotus Kimona co-founder of The Paralegal Network, a community for paralegals on their journey to qualifying as a solicitor. 

It's very common and normal for aspiring solicitors to work as a paralegal for many years before qualifying and with the implementation of the SQE more opportunities could open up for paralegals that have not been able to qualify sooner. We discuss how The Paralegal Network helps its members and some advice for aspiring solicitors on their journey from paralegal to trainee solicitor.
