Hello !
My name is Céline and I'm french. I would like to know if you need a degree to work as a legal secretary (french/english) in England ? Do they take people without experience in this field ? That would be nice if i could talk with somebody who he is doing this job. Thanks.

No, you don't need a degree. You do need good typing and English language. Your other language(s) might be more highly valued in finance firms or maybe law firms dealing with lots of language stuff. If you do have legal training, it might also be worth approaching legal recruitment firms regarding paralegal work.
I'm a legal secretary but in local government and it's years since I temped in private practice for Career Legal briefly.
If you have language skills another option might be to develop those with legal as a specialism.

Hello Luci !
Thank you for the information.
I don't have legal training but I did a bit of law when i was at school (french constitutional law, administrative law, labour law and company law).
Do you know some legal recruitment firms I can talk to ?
Thanks again for your help.
Céline
