PARACHUTE PARALEGALS: Yesterday Colin Levy posted about Paralegals. Saying they are "the most tech-savvy, the most innovative, and the most collaborative individuals within a legal organization." And it started me thinking... Why are most Paralegals tech-savvy, innovative, and collaborative? I narrowed it down to "necessity." Let's face it... most law firms do not have basic Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in place—forcing Paralegals to innovate or work in a constant state of chaos. As a former Paralegal, I've created many systems to get my job done—systems I still use today. Now as a Legal Op's Director, the best part of my job is creating detailed, step-by-step instructions that help guide employees how to perform specific tasks while ensuring quality and compliance. So today I'd like to give a BIG "Thank You" to ALL the disorganized law firms and legal dept's across the world for forcing innovation and contributing to a new breed of Paralegals who know how to parachute in and save the day/dept/project from chaos by creating healthy systems. Beyond Paralegals was also created out of necessity and has an amazing team of Parachute Paralegals™ with Legal Op's experience who are not only known for creating healthy systems, but for our knack of "Parachuting In" late in the litigation process to quickly prepare a case for trial. Then as fast as we parachute in we leave until our services are needed again! Colin Levy (a former Paralegal now General Counsel for Malbek) thank you for always recognizing just how amazing Paralegals are and their contribution to driving efficiency. *** Since 2006, law firms and fortune 500 companies have hired our team to access specialized expertise, gain outside perspective, streamline processes, and provide extra support during periods of transition or growth. #wearebeyondparalegals

WE HAD TO DO IT: We registered our Paralegal Life™ brand with the USPTO. Why? People (we won't mention any names) were counterfeiting and profiting from our designs. Our Paralegal Life™ collection was born during Covid. We wanted our team to sport cool swag during the pandemic so we commissioned a local street artist from Austin, TX to create cool designs for our team. Today our Paralegal Life™ brand is popular with paralegals and paralegal associations across the country. Since COVID we have broadened our Paralegal Life™ brand to include: 👉 The Paralegal Life Podcast, 👉 The Paralegal Life Newsletter, and 👉 Dear Paralegal Life news column. As Paralegals, we thought it was wise to protect THE PARALEGAL LIFE™ brand so we registered it with the USPTO. #wearebeyondparalegals #paralegallife
