This will depend entirely on the area in which you are working, and the structure within the organisation.
If the area in which you are working is a reserved legal activity (see section 12 and schedule 2 of the Legal Services Act 2007) then you should be authorised for that particular legal activity, or be able to undertake the work by virtue of the exemptions listed in schedule 3 of the 2007 Act.
Depending on the area in which you work, you can obtain additional practice rights so that you are an authorised person for the purposes of these reserved legal activities.
You can read more about obtaining additional practice rights on the following pages:
