NEW ARTICLES AND CAREER SEARCH TIPS EACH MONTH

Surviving The Economic Climate
J. Nick Augustine J.D. is the principal of ALR/PRA, Inc., a full service law practice management agency. Nick advises and assists attorneys in transition in public relations and marketing. Nick also shares recruiting and staffing experience and tips for legal job seekers. I often ask lawyers in my social networks what advice they want to hear. For some attorneys in transition, the advice is easily taken; in other situations advice can be more complicated. This week’s advice goes out to a solo practicing attorney in California. A native of Egypt, my friend likely anticipated a career in the Golden State here in the U.S. would be a “dream come true.” Today he is asking how to survive in the present economic climate? “Suddenly Solo” is being tossed around as a remedy for associates who have fallen from big firms or law school graduates who just passed their bar exam and are looking for employment. One of our leaders in law practice management, Ed Poll, recently appeared up on my Facebook wall with a link to a story about the risks of going solo versus riding out the storm. I tend to agree with the sentiment that if you don’t have to make a great change, you might be better off holding on to your hat and waiting a while longer. First, to those who want to leave a firm temporarily challenged by a dip in revenue: hold on a while longer. Take an assessment of your capital contributions and consider the amount of brand equity you have with your current line-up. Even though the cash may not be flowing this month, the contacts and connections you’ve made already will suit you well in the future. Many professionals have said that economic cleansing leaves behind the people who are best suited for their jobs. The lawyers who hold tight in their current positions are more likely to appear successful and maintain the respect of clients and colleagues. Second, to those solo practitioners who want to hang up their shingle: hold on a while longer. A few attorneys have mentioned that they terminated some associates last year when there was little work; now, instead of hiring new associates, principals are bringing some struggling solo’s into their firms instead of re-hiring associates. While this may be a temporary fix, this scenario could require you to hang up on the tremendous human capital and sweat equity you invested into your solo practice. If you are going to go this route, consider an of counsel relationship to another firm instead of closing the doors to your solo practice. I expect some to say: “Nick, how can you expect us to hold on where there is no money?” OK, fair question – there are always alternative incoming generators you can tap into while maintaining your status quo. When I started my business in 2005 things were good, then in 2007, the clients started drying up and I took an extra part-time job to keep cash flowing. Is it a shock to the ego to take a second job? Yes. Is it worth it in the long run to be able to ride out the storm? I think so. Taking a second job can be as simple as assuming some overflow cases as an of counsel attorney to another firm. Taking on contract work through an agency can be another secondary income source – you would be surprised how many solo practitioners are doing just that. To my colleague in California, I wish you well; to all the attorneys in transition: just hold on a while longer.

4—LEGAL EMPLOYMENT WEEKLY

Illinois Paralegal Association
BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP BY: Caren Mansfield, a member of the Illinois Paralegal Association It’s that time of year again. If you have not already renewed your dues to the Illinois Paralegal Association now is the time to get it done. If the question is why, let me elaborate. As a member of a profession that works under fairly strict guidelines (i.e. giving no legal advice, taking no clients, setting no fees, working under the supervision of an attorney) then it is imperative to always remain on top of current topics in the areas of ethics, regulations and rules, and continuing legal education. How do you do that? One way to keep informed of new trends, of seminars and other types of continuing education, and to network is to be a member of the Illinois Paralegal Association. The IPA offers many benefits to members including the Outlook, the tri-annual email publication, and Lookout, the monthly newsletter, which are emailed to all members. The IPA also offers other publications to members including the Code of Ethics, the Salary Survey and the Manual for Professional Paralegal. The IPA plans social functions for paralegals to meet and mingle to increase networking opportunities. These functions have included golf outings, boat cruises, nights at Ravinia, bowling, wine sampling and more. These social functions can be critical to career development by establishing a contact base for information, advice and support. An important part of IPA member benefits is the membership to the National Federation of Paralegal Associations. It’s a bonus. By being a member of the IPA, members are also automatically enrolled as members of NFPA. As a member of NFPA each IPA member receives The Paralegal Reporter which is the national publication on topics of interest to paralegals. NFPA also plans educational seminars for members and offers online CLE. As a paralegal you can be a member of the IPA. You can receive all the publications and you can attend meetings, social functions and seminars. You can also actively participate in the IPA by becoming a chairperson which means you might plan meetings or informative lunches for a geographic section or specialty section. You could act as a co-chair for a social function. Or you could just volunteer as an election judge at the Annual Meeting or as extra help at an Education Seminar. Because the Board of Directors of the IPA or its Executive Director is not always aware that you might be able to volunteer please ASK what you can do to be an active member of the IPA. Volunteers are always needed and the tasks are rewarding. I have not touched on all the benefits of the IPA. An important contact point the IPA offers is the website. Please visit the IPA website at www. ipaonline.org for more information or call 815-462-4620. Contact Caren Mansfield at cmbakerlaw@ aol.com.
