Are there any entry-level roles or graduate schemes to enter law firms without necessarily working as a lawyer, but doing operations, e.g. marketing, strategy, business development, PR, analysis (financial/economic), etc.?

Was wondering how they do it, especially in the big ones. I doubt they outsource everything?!?

Even in a legal case involving financial analysis, how do they do?
Call Goldman Sachs?

No graduate schemes but there are certainly entry level roles in marketing, business development and HR available. Opportunities I have seen (not that I was looking) came up on legal recruitment websites and general city recruitment websites.

No idea what you mean by your second question. If you are talking about financing a law firm I think this is mainly achieved through partner contributions and a combination of medium / short term credit lines. I know Dewey and DLA have previously issued bonds as well. There are management consultancy and financial advisory practices that specialise I'm advising law firms.

No, no.
I mean if they need to do a financial analysis as part of a specific legal case, as part of the material or evidence for the case, e.g. to determine whether there has been some financial damage etc. - whom do they ask?

They will usually outsource to whoever is qualified and authorised to do it e.g. accountants and actuaries
