Paralegals Can Become Attorneys. There are paralegals who have become attorneys, and you can tooâ¦if youâre willing to commit yourself to a few more years of hard work. The major benefit to advancing from a paralegal to an attorney is that itâs not that big of a career stretch. You are already doing most of the work of an attorney right now.
A paralegal, like a lawyer, can be employed by a law office or work freelance at a company or law office. Paralegals are not allowed to offer legal services directly to the public on their own and must perform their legal work under an attorney or law firm (except in Ontario Canada). From the Paralegal Society of Ontario: A paralegal is an individual qualified through education or experience licensed to provide legal services to the general public in areas authorized by the Law Society of Upper Canada.
