Employment opportunities have increased significantly in the last few years due to legislation changes, positive economic growth and positions vacated by those who are retiring. Independent paralegals may choose to specialize in one legal area when representing clients or find work in law firms, government ministries, professional associations, private corporations or trade unions.
