A paralegal mainly carries out legal preparatory and administrative work, often in collaboration with a lawyer. A paralegal differs from an ordinary administrative employee through his legal training. The current generation of paralegals usually holds a bachelor's degree in business management, specializing in legal practice.
Where paralegals in the past mainly worked in the traditional legal sectors (notaries and bailiffs), the paralegal today works in almost all sectors under a variety of job titles.
