The National Association of Licensed Paralegals is the leading professional body for Paralegals in England and Wales and in 2007 will be celebrating its 20th year.

Formed in 1987, as The Paralegal Association, its initial purpose was to provide qualifications and career development for paralegals and solicitor’s support staff and to ‘fill the gap’ that existed by the length of time that it took to qualify as a Legal Executive.
