Paralegal - the figurehead of law firms

The high expectations and demands placed on paralegals have led to renowned training centers now offering courses that prepare participants with a commercial background for the demanding work in the secretariat of a law firm. The courses provide a sound basic knowledge of the legal system and the administrative processes in law firms. The organizational structures of the court and the various procedural processes are also explained in detail to course participants. In addition, the forms of communication, etiquette and rules for contact with the court, authorities and clients play an important role - these are also covered in detail during the course, alongside attorney-client privilege and dealing with opposing parties. Legal secretaries have a comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of legal work and know the work processes inside out.

Paralegals should have a reliable, friendly, correct and professionally competent appearance and character, as they form an important focal point of the law firm and are considered its "figurehead". As the linchpin, they support the lawyers with administrative tasks, receive clients and represent the law firm externally when running errands and communicating with the court and authorities.
