A paralegal is a professional trained in legal matters who assists lawyers in their work. Paralegals perform a variety of tasks, such as conducting legal research, drafting documents, organizing files, and helping prepare cases for court. While they possess substantial legal knowledge and skills, paralegals are not licensed to practice law and cannot represent clients in legal proceedings. In the context of cybersecurity, paralegals may help with compliance, documentation, and understanding legal aspects of data breaches or cyber incidents, supporting attorneys in navigating complex legal frameworks related to information security.
