Many law firms now offer a range of services that include picking up and delivering dry cleaning and mail or packages, gift-wrapping, making vacation plans, and buying movie tickets. Firms even offer on-site child care as well, which eliminates the panic or worry parents face about picking up children on time after work. This also allows parents to check in with their children during the work day so that they are assured that their children are safe. 491ef963c5ac9a9136f60c8cb2188636 Wed, 24 Jan 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50072&cat=75 Are Lawyers And Law Firm Staff Members Part Of The Creative Class?<br><br>In The Rise of the Creative Class: And How It's Transforming Work, Leisure, Community and Everyday Life, author Richard Florida identifies a growing population of today's working professionals who work smart, work creatively, and who want€"and get€"a creative lifestyle that goes beyond work. 0a3cb8d6a1d544b17d920ff2d36b8c18 Wed, 24 Jan 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50073&cat=75 Stress is the "wear and tear" our bodies experience as we adjust to our continually changing environment. The physical and emotional effects that stress can have on us can be either positive or negative. As a positive influence, stress can help compel us to take actions that can result in a new awareness or an exciting new perspective. As a negative influence, excessive stress can cause us to develop feelings of distrust, rejection, anger, and depression, which in turn can lead to health problems. c20168038c0e10c441f2c118ac418ee7 Wed, 24 Jan 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50021&cat=75 <b>1. What are the educational requirements for a legal secretary starting position.</b><br>a. A high school education or equivalent is usually all that is required to become a start a legal secretary career. There's really nothing to stop you starting work in a law firm right after school if you fulfill the criteria I've mentioned below. There are secretarial schools that offer diplomas or certifications. These can be helpful as they focus on some of the specific tasks that you can expect to undertake when you start to work. The course content varies between schools and of course, prices vary too. Do some homework on the courses that are available in your area before you commit to a course. 81b993dae9d5735b0714c325c526aee5 Fri, 11 Aug 2006 00:00:00 CDT http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50001&cat=75 <b>Yes,</b> <i>if you want a recruitment consultancy that's focused and instinctively knows the appropriate steps to take while conducting your job search.</i> Our staffing consultants are usually able to promptly locate excellent opportunities that produce the types of offers our candidates want to receive. However, when a candidate is looking for a somewhat unusual position, we are prepared to work with that individual for much longer periods. Rest assured that we do not simply scatter your resume all over the country, blindly hoping that we can find you a job in that manner. Our goal is to help you find the job you want no matter how long it takes. Most of our candidates really do find jobs or receive attractive offers. 334146de1b9346272cb013adf1a35aea Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50002&cat=75 <b>You need to remember that the largest</b>, most prestigious and highest-paying law firms (with few exceptions), generally look for staff members who reflect the image they have of themselves - hardworking, bright, and driven by client service. The most important initial indicator of your hiring appeal to a firm is the organization with which you currently work. As a rule of thumb, firms want employees who have received training at least as good as their own. However, this is not to say that our candidates cannot move up to a job offering greater pay and benefits than their current firm. Quite the contrary - - it happens every day, because our candidates are not average. f67fe69d3660b4d35a731817b538b21d Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50003&cat=75 There are numerous reasons to use a search consultant. In choosing a professional search consultant it is extremely important that you know what to look for. Where attorneys are concerned, good legal staffing consultants are firmly established as some of the most valuable fixtures in the legal community. Similarly, law firms turn constantly to quality staffing consultants like Law Firm Staff in order to help fill their staffing requirements. We have chosen to specialize in the law firm staff market because of the special requirements of firms with regard to these critical personnel and our belief that attention to corporate staff recruitment would distract our focus. Through aggressive research, instinct, and knowledge of the job market among legal employers, a good staffing consultant affects the lives of the persons he or she places, the lives of their families and friends, and the success of entire law firms and corporations. A good legal staffing consultant can also make the difference between your career stalling and having it take off. With so much effort put into you becoming a legal professional, it is of utmost importance that you choose a staffing consultancy that takes your career as seriously as you do. 0cce9d48eb96fdf93fbae8640d547b8e Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50004&cat=75 <b>I. Introduction</b><br>A good resume is an extremely important tool in the job search process. Because firms are inundated with resumes, your resume must be able to get the attention of the human resources manager and create a good, strong impression at a brief glance. Your resume is your sales pitch to the employer. It is not merely a recitation of your life's chronology. You need to make your value to the employer clear and, since your resume will likely only get about thirty seconds of the employer representative's time, you need your value to be emphasized and evident from a quick scan and cursory examination. 171ab172efb24344684eca5b04abffca Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50005&cat=75 A: accelerated accomplished achieved acquired acted activated actuated adapted administered adopted advanced advised advocated aided allocated altered amended amplified analyzed approved arbitrated arranged ascertained assembled assigned assumed assessed assisted attained attracted audited augmented authored authorized automated awarded e7beb1dcf073b1d1e700fb02eccaf064 Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50006&cat=75 We have seen the same scenario repeated over and over again. We send a highly qualified candidate out on an interview, only to later learn that a job offer was never extended. What went wrong? The reasons for unproductive interviews vary from one candidate to another. Furthermore, interviews are often handled differently, depending on whether the interviewee is a paralegal, legal secretary, IT Administrator, or CFO candidate. Hiring organizations also pose questions about certain topics at different stages of the interviewing process. However, candidates need to be ready to answer every question, whether it's posed to them during the initial screening interview, the 2432fc2efe99899b0ecff8ade0211e7d Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50007&cat=75 With law firms becoming more dynamic and embracing new technology, the videoconference interview is becoming increasingly popular. Law firms recognize that the videoconference interview displays a cutting-edge technological aspect that is appealing to many candidates and saves the firm time and money. While we have not seen videoconference interviews used for lower level administrative staff, it is not uncommon for senior administrators and IT personnel being recruited from out of town to be asked to undergo a video interview. 1cc41f4ab8528178818a29b9ef5fabbb Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50008&cat=75 You have decided that, to make the next move a success, you should take a temporary position that will permit you to get a good look at the new firm. Finally, success - you get the perfect job offer at what you think may be the firm of your dreams. Congratulations, time to take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the change to the next stage of your career. But you can't get too comfortable yet; you still have a lot of important challenges ahead of you if you are going to make this new job a long term success and prepare for your next position. 79c3489e2392afd26733d285dee3abd0 Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50009&cat=75 We believe that any legal professional's happiness and success in a legal organization have more to do with a particular law firm culture (which is sometimes also referred to as the f0547ecd4e64a31e247c34b64547f812 Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50010&cat=75 In a lot of respects, the path paralegals, legal secretaries and others take to joining a particular practice area is nothing short of insane. For example, many paralegals interview for positions directly out of college or a paralegal program, take the best they can get, and then end up practicing in a certain practice area throughout their career. Given that people spend a significant amount of their lifetime at work, enjoying the work they do is especially vital, and the process legal professionals undertake to choose a practice area seems nonsensical in a lot of respects. It is not surprising then that many legal professionals call our offices on a daily basis seeking to switch practice areas. 3e53ae683f8e8c84221db763b30fe907 Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50011&cat=75 <b>LAW FIRM STAFF, INC. Guide to Relocation</b><br>There is nothing more exciting than leaving one area of the country and going to a new area to start a new career and life. One of the advantages of having chosen a career in the fluid legal industry is that you do have the option of living in other parts of the United States or even the World. We have moved legal professionals from one city to another. Indeed, as a law firm staffing firm that places attorneys throughout the United States, we believe that we have made a positive difference in the quality of many lives through our relocation efforts. For excellent legal personnel, we are the relocation experts. fbbbadb6d1a15c0c924c73b0b0a4b7cb Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50012&cat=75 Legal professionals call us on a daily basis asking us to find them the 'perfect' in-house opportunity. As we explore further, it seems that many of the legal professionals who are looking to go in-house want to do so because they assume that an in-house position means more interesting work, shorter hours, and even lucrative stock options. Although these are all admirable goals, we believe that it is impossible to generalize that all in-house positions offer the utopian work environment we've described. In many area of the country, as the economy continues to sour and entire corporations are being shut down, law firm life is suddenly becoming more attractive to some. More and more, in-house legal professionals call us wanting desperately to return to, or enter, private practice. Since this trend is at odds with the constant requests for in-house opportunities, we have decided to dispel the myths about private practice. In the end, it is not accurate, nor productive, to assume that law firms are somehow the lesser of employment options for legal professionals in the legal market. Below, we have outlined a few of the considerations for legal professionals considering leaving their private law firm. 9ba86c2987b9321a45b4dbf1eff6bb4a Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50013&cat=75 You have just landed a job, and you are experiencing the elation of finally achieving your goal to get the perfect position at an exciting firm. Suddenly, you feel the onset of anxiety upon realizing that you face new challenges, excitement and uncertainty. The one immediate challenge is that you still have to tell your present employer that you are leaving. You may feel guilty, deceitful and disloyal. You may feel like a spouse who cheats, like a trusted confidant who reveals secrets, like a dependable accountant who doctors the books, or like a faithful deacon who dips his hands into the Sunday donation basket. Enough already! You have been concentrating on getting the position you were seeking so much that you have postponed planning your exit. Get past the guilt and strategize as to whom, how and when you will give notice that you are leaving. 8ec41a3e649625a55ceafc35f6fa45e8 Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50014&cat=75 Being a professional search consultant at its very highest level is serious business.

We'll also assume that you're not satisfied with your current position because it simply isn't providing you with a number of important opportunities.

These relocations have been principally to London and Hong Kong. While many American attorneys may not consider an overseas assignment when they get out of law school, it is worthwhile to note that a legal career overseas may be a viable option for many American attorneys. Because Law Firm Staff has American attorneys interviewing on an ongoing basis in London and Hong Kong, we believe that the international demand for American attorneys merits discussion. cf50b28ef624912ff106c57ca9be41dc Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50100&cat=76 There is time for high-brow intellectual discourse; but most times, honest simplicity is best. The majority of students do not plan to study law and endure the rigors thereof in pursuit of a career as a contract attorney. Even those among us who started law school with €~a plan€ , still had no clue about this sub-section of the legal industry. Nevertheless, the annual revenue generated by contract Attorneys stretches far into the millions of dollars. Some of us consider that kind of money €" opportunity.

American and foreign law firms have grown by marketing to the public, acquiring lateral partners with portable practices, merging with other firms and starting branch offices.

Virtually every U.S. law firm of any size asks search consultants to help them with their hiring needs from time to time. When clients require large amounts of work to be done in short order and offer that work to a law firm that does not currently have the staff to complete the work, the firm has two choices: it can pass on the opportunity to do the work and give up the client to another firm or it can call a staffing service. At Law Firm Staff, Inc., solving situations such as this for our clients is our bread and butter. We know the market from both the employer side and the candidate side, because we live it every day. Where temporary attorney and paralegal placement is concerned, all firms have a need for these services on occasion. 16d37a42180158171d57e1cc8122b415 Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.lawfirmstaff.com/articles/index.php?id=50025&cat=77 One of the largest changes that has taken place in the legal profession over the past quarter of a century is the lateral movement of partners and practice groups and the acquisition of entire firms by larger law firms. Twenty-five years ago it was somewhat unheard of for partners to switch law firms. Today, it is almost commonplace. Partners who are interested in finding a new law firm, however, may not have yet been able to articulate their specific reasons for such a move. Moreover, as a partner considers whether to leave their current firm, he or she may not yet understand how a legal recruiter can work with them to identify suitable opportunities. a4eacdf08e8fda83c7784c8fd21f7811 Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST
