Paralegals are not insured to give legal advice.

Paralegals are not accountable for their services, as there is no regulatory body to set or maintain standards of service. Paralegals are not required to follow a code of conduct. It is important to note that, unlike licensed lawyers, paralegals do not have professional liability insurance to cover the cost of any mistakes they may make.

Discussions and correspondence with a paralegal are not protected by confidentiality or privilege.
