P&P has a good reputation but it's recruitment procedures are unfair and opaque. The firm offers training contracts to external candidates but in reality almost all trainees are recruited internally (from the pool of paralegals). External candidates are not informed of this and the steps required to secure a TC. This leads to an unfair recruitment process which differs significantly from the procedure advertised on their website. Secondly, the policy of only hiring internally discriminates against candidates from poorer backgrounds.
All paralegals at the firm must have completed the LPC from their own pocket (the fees exceed 10,000). Candidates from poorer backgrounds cannot afford this and rely on law firms to sponsor the LPC. Therefore, the firm's hiring policies discriminate against candidates who cannot afford to complete the LPC at their own expense. The firm should review its HR and recruitment policies to address these issues.
