"The New and the Old Unite"

NALP is very pleased to announce the alliance between the NALP (National Association of Licensed Paralegals) and the Fellowship of Professional Willwriters and Probate Practitioners (FPWPP).

Apart from the benefit of being, or indeed becoming, a member of the Fellowship, the only wills and probate membership body which is actively seeking regulation of the industry from the Government, it also means that as an Affiliate member of NALP, Fellowship members can access the benefits previously only enjoyed by NALP members.

NALP is a well respected and highly professional membership body that has, for the last 23 years, been responsible for the Education and Training of many thousands of paralegals across the UK.

This means an immediate and automatic membership for Fellowship members of the benefits of being an Affiliate member of NALP, the fastest growing membership body of its kind in the UK.

Leading QC, Cherie Booth, recently described the role of Paralegals as becoming, "more and more significant", and what it means to be associated with NALP.

Rita Leat, CEO and President of the Fellowship said, "We are extremely proud to be associated with the National Association of Licensed Paralegals, an organisation that commands great respect within the legal community. It means that members of both organisations can now have dual membership and, perhaps more importantly, dual benefits".

Amanda Hamilton, CEO of NALP said, "we are pleased to be working with the Fellowship of Professional Willwriters and Probate Practitioners, which like the NALP, insists on high standards and ethics for its members. We welcome Fellowship member of the FPWPP as Affiliate members of NALP and look forward to a long standing close working relationship in the future".

The National Association of Licensed Paralegals (NALP) Officially Accredited by OFQUAL

Wednesday 13th January 2010 12:53 PM

The National Association of Licensed Paralegals (NALP) is the first organization of its type to achieve accreditation from the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator (OFQUAL), the Government agency regulating qualifications in England.

With NALPs excellent track record, the accreditation enhances the professional body's standing within the UK and internationally.

Amanda Hamilton, Chief Executive of NALP, expressed her delight at the accreditation and commented on the unique nature of the courses. "What makes the NALP's qualifications special is that they have been specifically designed and are recognised by the profession. This means that students interested in working as a paralegal will have easier access to accredited courses and training'.

NALP is the leading professional body for paralegals in England and Wales and specialises in promoting the Paralegal Profession and paralegal training offering courses for school leavers, legal support staff, law graduates and career changers.

'The OFQUAL status award has enhanced our opportunity to service the increased demand from potential students', said Ms Hamilton. 'NALP has now extended access and are planning to encourage more colleges and universities to run their courses throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland'
