seeks work in the legal profession.
My daughter has LLB (with French) and has also achieved a commended pass in her legal practice certificate.
Can anyone offer her a training contract or interim paralegal work, preferably in Kent? Her preferred area of law is Commercial Property.

My husband is in this field. The only way he managed to get a training contract was to be a Paralegal for a bit. He started through an agency (UK Project Support). When after a while internal openings cam up, he applied - et voila. Lots of people appear to have taken this route in his firm. I don't thinkt he old boy's network is quite what it was.
As for working for a regional firm it's sometimes better to start off at a big firm and then once qualified scale down. It's almost impossible to do it the other way around so I gather. This of course presumes you've got a 2.1 degree and a distinction in the LPC.
