Why I Love to Serve the Small Practice
Workplace communication differs by role, culture, and personality. Clear expectations from leadership or onboarding help prevent misunderstandings with coworkers and superiors.
Tariffs increase costs for law firms using imported tools or services, squeezing profit margins. To stay competitive, firms may need to raise prices or switch to domestic alternatives.
A 33% new hire turnover rate is high, as healthy rates typically fall between 10–20%. Improving retention requires clear expectations, strong onboarding, and better alignment from day one.
Entrepreneurial moms are often shamed for using childcare to make space for self-care, even though rest is essential to sustainable success. I started my business to challenge that mindset—because investing in support isn’t neglect, it’s a powerful move toward growth, well-being, and a thriving future.
To achieve a 100% ROI, attorneys should charge clients at least twice the paralegal’s hourly rate. This ensures strong margins, greater efficiency, and a cost-effective alternative to attorney time.
