  • Legal Executive
    Legal Executive Introduction Legal Executives work within the legal system of England and Wales. The work of a Legal Executive is very similar to that of a Solicitor. The main difference is that Legal Executives tend to specialise in only one or two areas of the law. Also known as Lawyer, Legal Executive Work Activities As a Legal Executive, you will have specialist knowledge of one or two areas of the law. The most common areas you might specialise in are civil litigation, conveyancing, family law, criminal law and probate. If you specialise in probate work, you will be responsible for drawing up wills and advising clients on how best to provide for relatives. You'll work out the amount of money that people named in a will are entitled to receive, and may trace named relatives who have left the country. In conveyancing, you will help to arrange the transfer of property rights and ownership. You may also advise couples on matrimonial law or draw up documents to help in the formation of a company. In a criminal law case, you may be present when the police interview the client. You'll help clients to prepare for court cases. This will involve interviewing them and carrying out research to gather the details of the case. Not all cases go to court, but when a court hearing is unavoidable, you must help to prepare the client's advocate (such as a Barrister, Solicitor or Legal Executive Advocate). You may prepare a 'brief' for the Barrister, which outlines the case, gives details of the evidence and the names of witnesses who will appear in court.
