In this episode we have 4 powerhouse paralegals join us to talk about the role of the paralegal in a law firm and what makes for a successful paralegal/lawyer relationship. Joining are Melissa Lekan from my firm – The J. Stein Law Firm, Erin Harris from The Law Offices of Andrew Goldner, LLC and Melissa Hands and Shannon Redd from Steelhorse Law. We discuss the characteristics to look for in a successful paralegal, the paralegals role in a law firm and how paralegals can train attorneys to get better outcomes for their clients and run cases in a smooth and efficient way. We discuss the paralegals role in marketing and the crazy Tic Toc law firm videos that are popping up everywhere. We swap funny and interesting stories from their collective 50+ years of experience and get insight into what is most important in a corporate culture that incentives employees to do well and stay for a long time.

If you work in a law firm this is such a great discussion to pick up tips on what has made these ladies (and their firms) so successful. If don’t work in a law firm, you will still find the management principles very helpful and applicable to your workplace. Finally, we even invited Andy Goldner and Brian Caron back on the show at the end to give their perspective on how they set up their firms and their relationships with their paralegals. Andy and Brian were guests on Episode 2 so we thought it appropriate to have their paralegals join to fact check what we learned from them on running their firms.
