According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Projection Central Paralegal and Legal Assistant employment outlook is going up by 12% -15%, much faster than the average. If you are a lawyer, this should result in an increase in business. If you are a paralegal that means more responsibility and not necessarily more help.
In order for a law firm or a company to justify hiring another paralegal or a combination paralegal / legal assistant, there has to be enough on-going projects for the expertise. I took some time to ask, “When do we get referrals from lenders, law firms, paralegals and business owners?”
There are 3 top reasons for ACAS referrals:
1. Manage expenses. Everyone wants to accomplish more and maintain a profit. They hire the expertise of ACAS when they need it. (We’ll talk about on-demand paralegal support services in a minute)
2. Changes in Staff. Many lawyers and companies try to determine the level of expertise necessary. “Do I really need a highly experienced person?” “Do I need more support for the team of paralegals already in place?” “Can I just hire the expertise (like ACAS) when I need it?”
3. Every time a person decides to leave, the law firm or company re-examines their staffing. “Do we really need another full-time person?” “Can we use a service like ACAS to supplement the time-consuming tasks?”

On-Demand Paralegal Support Services
