OBJECTIVES

To gain the ability to perform a broad variety of practical functions to create complete job readiness.

To provide a good basic understanding of the fundamental legal system and the role of a Legal Secretary within the modern commercial environment.

BACKGROUND and CONTEXT

The commercial legal market is presently very dynamic. Souters has provided legal training continuously since 1988. Since the downturn in the economic cycle and changes within the legal industry, the training for legal secretaries across the market had become outdated. Since mid 2010 we have been actively working in conjunction with a major City firm to gain feedback on what is actually needed in the modern context. This unit (amongst others) is the product of that research.

A RECENT GRADUATE SAID

I would like to share some great news with you and to say a huge thank you for putting me forward to FFW. I have had the most amazing time doing my work experience, everyone on the team has been very helpful and friendly and Caroline was the best mentor I could ever ask for. Also Beverly has coached me every step of the way and has been incredibly supportive.

I am happy to say that I have now been offered a full-time position within their IP Protection department.

So even though it has been intense few months for me having to jugle internship and another job, it has paid off tremendosly.

Once again a big thank you to everyone at Souters and best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to come.

With kindest regards

Tania
