Description:
As an attorney or paralegal, you spend a large portion of your waking hours at the office. Shouldn’t those hours be pleasant? Here are ten everyday issues that we have experienced that have put a damper on the working relationship between paralegals and attorneys.
The effect of these types of issues is that they tend to create animosity within the lawyer and paralegal team, which creates resentment and ultimately turnover, which can be expensive to a firm. This programs helps you to better understand the nature of these issues and gives practical advice from both sides of the fence on how to work through them in order to not only create a profitable team, but a happier team.
