Calling All Law Graduates
LLB • LLM • LPC • BVC/BPTC • SQE • GDL
You’ve worked hard, invested in your future, and now you’re ready for real legal experience.
But the industry keeps telling you the same thing:
“You need experience to get a job — but you need a job to get experience.”
That’s exactly where NextGen Legal comes in.
We help you get the experience that opens doors
We work with a wide network of in-house legal teams and law firms across Yorkshire and the Northern Powerhouse who regularly need motivated, reliable paralegals.
Whether you’re aiming for QWE, building your CV, or looking for your first legal role, we can help you bridge the gap.
We offer graduates
Paralegal placements (short-term or long-term)
Gain real experience in respected legal departments — the kind that transforms your CV and accelerates your pathway to qualification.
Access to our legal network
We partner with organisations across commercial, litigation, regulatory, compliance and corporate work.
CV review & professional rewriting
We help shortlisted candidates present their strengths clearly and professionally.
Interview preparation & coaching
Confidence-building, practical guidance, and mock interview support.
One-to-one mentoring
Every candidate placed through NextGen Legal is assigned a mentor — an experienced member of the NextGen team who provides weekly catch-ups, guidance and career support.
Support toward your legal qualification
We help you gain Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) where applicable, and advise on structured routes to becoming a solicitor.
We believe talent should determine your future — not background, postcode, or connections.
