Working as a legal assistant in France
The job is not regulated. Employers recruit with a BTS Support à l'action managériale, a licence professionnelle in legal careers (métiers du droit, activités juridiques) or an uncompleted law degree; law firms also value the ENADEP programme designed for lawyers' staff. Procedural work happens in French and through French systems such as the RPVA and the Guichet unique, so fluent written French is essential. Search for 'assistant juridique', 'secrétaire juridique', 'assistant juridique droit des sociétés', 'assistant contentieux' and, in notary offices, 'assistant notarial'.
