Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Legal secretaries and assistants anchor the bottom of the band, paralegals the middle and CILEX-qualified executives the top; City and in-house paralegals pay most. Many paralegal roles are a route to a training contract or the SQE.
