The Top 4 Skills Attorneys Should Look for When Hiring a Paralegal: 1. Effective communication. Paralegals communicate with individuals on a daily basis while on the job. Whether they are speaking with their attorney, clients, fellow coworkers, opposing counsel, prospective clients, etc., a paralegal is expected to be able to effectively communicate with each of these individuals and more! Being able to effectively communicate both verbally and written is extremely important and one of the top skills attorneys should look for when hiring a paralegal. 2. Independence. We all know paralegals must work under the supervision of an attorney, but no attorney has time to oversee every single step a paralegal takes when performing a task. Attorneys need to be able to trust their paralegal knows and will perform the necessary steps they must take to get a certain result. Obviously if you are hiring a newer paralegal that does not have the work experience to meet this expectation, this will not be your reality, but that does not mean they are not worthy of the position. Going back to number one, if they are great at communicating then you can guarantee they will ask the necessary questions to complete each task accordingly until they gain that experience to be able to work independently. 3. Insane organization. Paralegals are expected to manage a vast number of clients, files, documents, tasks, you name it! They must have incredible organizational skills to be able to handle this. They need to be able to effectively organize not only physical files, but also electronic files as more and more companies and firms are working remotely. These skills directly affect the productivity of the attorney and the firm. Having this skill is invaluable. 4. Patience. No matter what area of law you work in, it is very important your paralegal has a lot of patience. In addition to handling many different personalities (see number one), there is also always a chance something may change at the last minute. Using a family law case I previously worked on as an example, I was prepping upwards of one hundred exhibits for an upcoming hearing when the client and opposing party decided they wanted to work things out and dismiss their complaint. A seemingly positive outcome for the parties, but a frustrating moment for me as the paralegal after putting in so much effort into preparing for the hearing. As frustrating as it may be, a patient paralegal will proceed with drafting the necessary pleadings to dismiss the complaint and move on to the next file. #hiringparalagels #paralegals #attorneysupport #attorneys #familylaw #familylawsupport #effectivecommunication #independent #organizationalmaster #patienceisavirtue #remoteparalegals #freelanceparalegals #contractparalegals
