Would not recommend (Networks department) - werkgeversreview Paralegal bij Geldards LLP

1. Work life balance 2. Team is great 3. Lot of training and support

1. Salary and lack of progression

A lot of the reviews of the Networks role here are quite out-of-date, and written by people with axes to grind; please take them with a pinch of salt. Pros: 1. Good experience - you will be managing own caseload, and doing stuff like title review, drafting etc. which many other paralegals wouldn't be trusted with 2. Nice office (again, many of the other reviews here are from the old office at the Arc). Free beer on tap, free barista-made coffee, good city centre location 3. Large team of other young people. so good opportunity to make new friends

Cons: 1. Large workload - you will be given a large caseload, which will feel difficult to manage at times, but at the end of the day, law is a stressful profession, so if you can't hack that, maybe you can't hack a legal career 2. Lack of progression - the Networks role is NOT a route to a TC at the firm (I think most of their TCs are in Cardiff anyway) However, a lot of people in Networks do use their experience to get TCs and paralegal roles at other (often better) firms, so in some way, this isn't even that much of a con 3. Training can be fairly ad-hoc, so the quality may depend on which sub-team you land up in 4. Salary isn't the greatest, although used to be much worse from what I've heard
