The longest running professional paralegal body in the UK
Join us and become part of the longest running professional paralegal community in the UK. NALP members come from a diverse range of backgrounds but are joined together by their skills and love of the law.
As the only paralegal membership body that is recognised by Ofqual, a NALP qualification means national recognition and certification, as well as being an affordable alternative to university tuition costs.
We can help you enhance your career within an existing practice or organisation, or provide you with a licence to practise (subject to eligibility criteria) if you wish to start your own paralegal business.
“NALP is a community I can lean on from time to time, for support, to answer questions or just someone to talk to. It’s massively important”
NALP offers bespoke paralegal qualifications through its accredited centres. These qualifications cover all you need in order to secure work in the legal services sector, public or private sectors or to start your own practice (subject to eligibility criteria).
We help drive the expanding role of paralegals forward in the legal sector in England & Wales. As one of the most vocal advocates of the profession, NALP seeks to promote the entire sector, as well as our members.
We treat everyone who contacts NALP with courtesy and respect and expect the same in return. We ask that you treat ALL NALP Staff courteously and have a zero tolerance approach to any abuse or harassment directed towards them.
Any behaviour which causes staff to feel uncomfortable, embarrassed or threatened is totally unacceptable.
The Zero Tolerance policy includes aggression or threats made over the telephone or in a written communication. The NALP considers the following behaviours to be unacceptable:
Any instance of unacceptable behaviours may be reported to the police. The offender will also be removed from NALP and will be refused any form of service for life. NALP will also seek to block all forms of contact from individuals who have been deemed to have displayed such unacceptable behaviours.
