By Bryssa Helton, Marketing & Communications Director for IndyBar

Paralegals play a crucial role on any legal team and are often referred to as the “heart” of a law firm. Ask any seasoned lawyer or law firm administrator and they will tell you the most successful practices are anchored by an exceptional team. But how can you invest in them and illustrate just how important they are to the success of your practice? To help answer this question, ask yourself:

“Am I considering the professional development of my paraprofessionals in the same manner as associates?”

“Am I supporting their continuing education, professional networking, and wellness?”

“Am I identifying steps I can take to attract and retain committed, energetic, and talented paralegals to sustain and grow my practice?”

“Have I asked the paralegal in my life what I can do to help advance their career?”

If your answers to these questions leave you wanting to improve the investment you’re making into your paralegal, you have opportunities with IndyBar! Connect them through an IndyBar paralegal membership. Our paralegal membership is designed to complement careers, provide education and a variety of professional and social networking experiences, as well as a mix of products, publications, and services. Every paraprofessional benefits from being connected to IndyBar membership. When your paraprofessionals succeed, so does your practice. IndyBar paralegal membership can be obtained by visiting www.indybar.org/join.

Even more, if you’re looking to illustrate to your paralegal just how integral they have been to your success, nominate them for the 2024 Paralegal of the Year Award and plan now to attend the June Appreciation Luncheon with them! Take advantage of this opportunity to shine a light on your paralegal and the exceptional work they do. Nominations can be submitted by scanning the QR code and are open through April 4, 2024. The recipient of this award will be honored at the annual Paralegal Appreciation Luncheon on June 5, 2024. You can register to attend at www.indybar.org/PAL.
