Some time ago, I visited the post bar and saw a paralegal complaining that the boss was so cold-blooded and stingy that thousands of dollars were not enough. This reminds me of this problem again. After all these years, I began to bring my own assistant. What I want to say about this issue is that those who complain that the monthly salary of paralegals is too low may not be worth it.
1. Why can paralegals only get 2000 yuan?
1, slow down.
Most paralegals are Xiao Bai who just graduated from law school. Their characteristics are inexperience, inexperience and poor price. Entering the bank, through template training, you can master the business process in a short time and complete the work independently. However, the work of lawyers, especially litigation lawyers, is to deal with people directly, which requires proper communication, what to say and what not to say. In this case, it can be said that in that case, it cannot be said that this communication skill needs to be accumulated and summarized all the year round, and there is no fixed template to apply. It is difficult for graduated Xiaobai to enter the state through the template and cooperate with the lawyer.
2. The nature of results-oriented work.
The nature of work can be divided into process orientation and result orientation. For example, the staff at the bank counter are process-oriented. You just need to complete the work step by step according to the process, and give the work to you and others, and the effect will not be too bad. Lawyers are typically result-oriented. They also talk about 1 hour customers. Others can sign the bill, but you can't. Someone offered 1 buy 1, and someone offered 3000 to buy 1. In this 1 hour, you didn't sign the bill, resulting in a value of 0. Similarly, paralegals are result-oriented. I have enough time to help you write a proxy word. What is your value?
3. The risk cannot be judged.
It is precisely because of the lack of experience in handling cases that assistants are often thoughtless in handling affairs, and may even make serious mistakes. In this case, the assistant often needs a lawyer to wipe his ass. Therefore, although many lawyers bring assistants, they dare not let them contact their clients. It is possible that a single "business" will be ruined because of the assistant's words.
Second, how do paralegals get a raise?
1, quickly familiar with the workflow.
Although it is difficult to model the lawyer's experience, the lawyer's workflow is almost regular. For example, litigation lawyers, the general process is to receive consultation, accept cases, specify plans, sue or reply, prepare evidence, prepare opinions of agents, appear in court and file a case. Familiar with each process and the corresponding work content, you can keep up with the pace of lawyers and start working.
2. Assist to improve the efficiency of lawyers.
Without enough experience, it may be unrealistic for you to write a statement of agency that can take you to court, but what can be achieved is that you can save lawyers' time through your work. For example, lawyers mail various documents to the court and the parties every week. Lawyers should always pay attention to the receipt of documents. As assistants, they can check the progress of receipt in time and give feedback when lawyers ask, which greatly saves lawyers' time. Helping to improve the efficiency of lawyers is the value of assistants.
3. establish irreplaceability.
In the same case, some lawyers charge hundreds of thousands, while others charge thousands. Why? Because the former is irreplaceable, even if the quotation is high, I only recognize you as a lawyer, and those alternative lawyers can only choose price tactics and continuously obtain the source of the case by lowering the quotation. Lawyers are like this, so are paralegals. When the assistant cooperates with the lawyer to achieve the effect of tacit cooperation, empathy and coordinated operations, the lawyer will naturally be inseparable from you, and the salary increase will not be a problem.
