Paralegals on Demand’s Post

TOMORROW'S WEBINAR It can sometimes seem, as a paralegal, that your solicitor colleagues are making a lot more money than you. But is this really the case? Join our two experts, Catherine Byers, Associate Director at Morgan LaRoche, and Amanda Hamilton, Patron of NALP, for NALP's webinar tomorrow at 1pm and find out what it really costs to become a solicitor and how much it costs to work as one (yes, it costs money to be a solicitor!). We’ll then compare this with the costs to become, and work as, a paralegal.

This just in from Law360 (the leading national legal periodical): AZA has once again made the list of the firms most feared as opposing counsel. It's remarkable that despite having offices in only one city, Houston, we've earned a spot on this prestigious list. The annual report by BTI reveals the top law firms that general counsel and legal leaders fear in litigation. While big names like Quinn Emanuel and Gibson Dunn dominate the list, AZA stands out as an awesome opponent among firms with nationwide presence. In a world where you can hire someone to take you golfing/lunch at the country club, why not hire a firm that the other side will fear? AZA proves its worth as a formidable opponent in the legal arena. Congratulations to the all the firms on this list for this well-deserved recognition! https://lnkd.in/gm-9psCa #LawFirms #Litigation #LegalLeaders #OpposingCounsel #BTIReport
