Legal Talent: How to Attract and Keep the Best Staff
October 26, 2021
Ask any successful attorney what makes their firm great, and every single one of them will tell you that it’s their team of highly trained associates, legal assistants, and support staff.

June 9, 2021
Restaurants have reopened, concerts are back, businesses are bidding employees return to the office and, if you’re like most, you’re feeling mixed emotions at best about the whole thing. After more than a year of dutifully wearing a mask and maintaining social distance, it is hard to relax into the easing of these restrictions and what’s worse, doing so only represents the tip of the anxiety iceberg that accompanies the return to normalcy.
Paralegal Job Training: Key Traits for Law Firm Growth
March 25, 2021
The paralegal profession is evolving at breakneck speed. Only influencers, SEO writers, and a short list of other hyper-modern occupations outpace paralegals in the way the scope of their required skills has grown.
