Finished school or looking to switch to a truly satisfying career? You might think Law is out of the question without going to uni.
Well, our Paralegal Apprenticeship will change that. It’ll give you the skills you need to start your career in one of the most rewarding sectors to work in and set you up in a Paralegal role here at the biggest food and drink company in the world. And all of that without a penny in student debt.
“Working in the legal team at Nestlé has allowed me to immerse myself into a business and gain a broad commercial understanding of an in-house legal team's role in evaluating risk and providing informed solutions.”

You’ll spend two years on the legal team that ensures compliance in areas including advertising, competition and employment law. You’ll help review advertising material, handle brand name queries and produce training and how-to guides on things like data protection and marketing to drive a compliance culture at Nestlé. You’ll have the support of an Academy Champion (a qualified lawyer) as well as the wider legal team, with whom you’ll build close connections.
“Outside of my day-to-day role I engage in career fairs and talks with others at the Academy. This experience is extremely rewarding and enables me to not only share my experiences with others, but also network with new people I wouldn’t necessarily meet in my day job.”

Career Progression
From starting work in Nestlé as a Personal Assistant, I was given the opportunity to become a Marketing Paralegal. I had the chance to go and work at one of our external law firms to obtain an understanding of advertising law.
The role involves ensuring all consumer facing advertising is compliant with the law and our own internal policies.
I now lead ways of working for all expert approvers, ensure alignment on live matters and build compliance understanding with the Marketing team. It’s very busy but varied, which is interesting!
