News

 

Ian Partington, CEO of Simply Law Jobs is set to join the National Association of Licensed Paralegal’s (NALP) governing board this year, to provide expertise in legal recruitment.

Ian's participation on the governing board will be to suggest strategies and objectives surrounding recruitment in the interest of NALP's members. 

NALP was established in 1987, to reinforce its position as the leading professional organisation catering for the ‘Career Paralegal’ not only within the legal profession, but also within commerce, industry and the private and public sectors. Its aim is to encourage, promote and develop the role and practice of the Paralegal and represent the best interests of its Members. The board currently meets at least three times a year. 

Ian said: "This is a great opportunity to rub shoulders with experts in the Paralegal sector. I'm looking forward to hearing more about the association and its work so far at my first meeting, and I'm eager to share best practice on legal recruitment to help benefit their members."

NALP is proud to announce that the Chief Executive of Simply Law Jobs, Ian Partington, has accepted a role on the NALP Governing Board. 

 

Amanda Hamilton, CEO of NALP, said: “I am so happy that Ian has agreed to be part of the Governing Board. His insight into the role and recruitment of paralegals will be of great benefit to our members and to NALP, and will be helpful in spreading the word about our bespoke qualifications to the broader legal services sector.”
