    As more and more law firms have been evolving since 2020
    into remote work collaborations, the “hype” on how to do it effectively has
    somewhat wound down. 
    For over 6 years, I have been working remotely with law firms across the nation
    in staffing their law firm for sustainable growth, leveraging specialized
    freelance paralegals and legal assistants.

    We shouldn’t stop talking about this. 

    Paralegals wanting to freelance, you have to become a master
    at remote collaboration. 

     

    Attorneys tapping into the amazing opportunity of working with
    skilled, specialized freelance paralegals OR running your in-house staff remotely, there’s a chance you haven’t heard some of my suggestions within this
    episode.
    After listening, tell me, what are your top tips that I haven’t mentioned?
