While paralegal schools provide basic legal knowledge and skills, there's a crucial aspect they often overlook – the path to rapid career growth in this dynamic profession. This discussion is relevant for those pursuing a freelance approach to earning six figures as a paralegal and those focusing on intentional holistic career development as an employee.

The paralegal industry has, for too long, adhered to a "become and be done" mentality. It's time to break free from the notion that being a paralegal is a static career. Paralegals possess a unique set of transferable skills and solution-based thinking that can significantly contribute to the growth of law firms.


In the dynamic field of law, the journey to six figures requires a combination of traditional education and proactive strategies. Whether freelancing or pursuing intentional career growth, taking ownership of your journey is the key to success. Embrace the uncharted, stay adaptable, and continuously evolve – because in the world of paralegals, the most rewarding strategies are often the ones they never taught you in school.

Ever wondered what successful freelance paralegals won't spill about their journey? It's not that they don't want to share; sometimes, they're just too busy managing their success. Let's debunk common myths together!Think it's tough? Think again. My journey started with doubts, from my location to outdated tech and even personal insecurities. But guess what? I landed gigs with law firms in Chicago, Atlanta, and even a Texas Supreme Court Candidate! They paid my rates, trusted me with their cases, and didn't care about my remote location.Now, I get it. You're worried about getting clients on your own, lacking marketing skills, and feeling like an imposter. I've been there. But here's the twist—what if I told you it's much easier than you assume?I cracked the code by publishing my first LinkedIn article, "The Future of Small Law Firms Feels Right at Home" (read it here: https://www.del-trust.com/blog/the-future-of-small-law-firms-feels-right-at-home). Did it have to be a masterpiece? No! It simply shared insights on building remote-ready law firms and the benefits of hiring a virtual freelance paralegal.Guess what? That article landed me my first client who needed a motion for compassionate release in California. No complex thesis required—just a clear message saying, "Here I am, here's a tip, and here's how I can benefit you."Sure, I've refined my content marketing over the years, but that one post gave me confidence, testimonials, and the push I needed to build a six-figure paralegal agency in three years.So, here's the untold truth: Building a successful freelance paralegal business is SO MUCH EASIER than you're assuming.

Scaling a freelance paralegal business to its first six-figure revenue year is truly not as difficult as some might make it out to be. To be honest, what I found to be the most vital for that first mile stone was consistency. Most paralegal businesses never see their first client because they give up before too long, as paralegals get in their own heads about if they’re actually capable of building such a business in the first place.

I have countless educational materials (blogs, webinars, podcast episodes) that guide you on the journey to start a freelance business that IS scaleable. However, I want to dedicate today’s blog on what to do once you’ve scaled it to six-figures and feel like you’re “stuck” there, wanting to hit multiple six-figures and beyond.

This topic is also wildly beneficial for someone that has not yet hit six figures with their freelance paralegal business. It is good to know the growth challenges and strategies that will take place in the upcoming phases of your business, so you structure and take action today in your current place that will prepare you for those moments.

I hope I have debunked the myth that freelancing as a paralegal lacks financial security. While the concern of losing a major client exists, strategic planning can mitigate risks and ensure a steady income. By diversifying clients, maintaining a waiting list, and establishing referral agreements, freelancing paralegals can safeguard against uncertainties. The notion of job security in traditional employment is also challenged, emphasizing that businesses, regardless of ownership, face risks. The thriving market demand for freelance paralegals, coupled with consistent effort and focus, can lead to financial abundance and personal freedom. Transitioning from a full-time employee to a full-time freelancer is a gradual process that, when executed with consistency, can result in a successful and lucrative freelance paralegal career.

In the competitive world of paralegal careers, the desire for a higher paying job with an amazing work-life balance is a common aspiration. While searching for new opportunities can be a daunting task, setting yourself up to be "poached" for such positions is a proactive approach that can yield fantastic results.

Typically, the best paralegal jobs out there have a very specific criteria of who they are looking to hire. An active applicant that might be applying for the position may be the absolute “purple unicorn” that the employer is seeking, but because they haven’t demonstrated this with their personal brand, the hiring manager isn’t able to identify this match-made-in-heaven on resume alone.

If you’re not actively applying for jobs, but are open to better opportunities that might come to you (which, most people are), having an established online brand and presence is what is going to make you findable by employers and legal recruiters.

In this blog, we'll explore how paralegals can make themselves irresistible to potential employers, focusing on the power of LinkedIn. We'll discuss how optimizing your LinkedIn account, connecting with the right people, building a personal brand, and consistently demonstrating it can open doors to better-paying, balanced positions.

Identifying the type of client your freelance paralegal business aims to serve so you can tailor your products, services, and marketing efforts to meet their specific needs and preferences.

If you try to serve everyone, you will serve no one. Sometimes, we as business owners get “shiny object syndrome,” thinking if we just tap this market or that market, we will make millions a lot quicker. In reality, the opposite is true.

The more you stay focused on your north star client, the more your business will thrive because it is supporting the people it was designed to support.

2020 when the pandemic came and shook up our world, law firms were forced to figure out how to continue to operate with their people at home. 

Although freelance paralegals existed over a decade before 2020, the pandemic truly “blew up” the freelance paralegal industry.

 

Now, paralegals have immense opportunity to hang up their employee hat, open up a business, and start commanding $60 per hour + rates as independent contractors, set their own schedules, and become an established and known expert within the industry.

 

Since then (and even before then), many paralegals or other legal and non-legal entrepreneurs have gone on to open staffing agencies, offering freelance paralegals, legal assistants, and general virtual assistant services to attorneys across the United States.  In fact, I merged my own freelancing business into an agency in late 2020.

 

With that comes the question: Is freelancing as a paralegal independently or joining an agency better? 

 

Let’s dive in and evaluate the pros and cons between independently freelancing as a paralegal or joining a paralegal agency.

A raise is a common request by paralegals for career advancement. As paralegals, we often aren’t able to look outside of the paralegal title, failing to recognize the plethora of career advancement opportunities that are waiting for us.

While I certainly understand that a request for a raise is typically a well justified and desperately needed one (in this economy, especially). Paralegals should be looking at other ways their law firms can prepare them for career elevation.

The requests outlined below will have a long-term impact on your career progression, increase job satisfaction, and set the stage for higher-paying opportunities within or outside of your current firm. So let's explore several strategies that paralegals can employ to propel their careers forward.

While traditional cold pitching often yields negative reactions and minimal success rates, there are alternative approaches to cold outreach that can be highly effective, particularly within the freelance paralegal profession. By prioritizing genuine connections and providing value, freelance paralegals can successfully engage attorneys and establish meaningful relationships. The key lies in segmenting the audience, identifying potential needs, and reaching out with humility and authenticity.

A personal brand for a paralegal is the unique and distinctive identity that an individual cultivates and presents to the world. It encompasses a person's values, beliefs, skills, personality, and reputation. In essence, it's how one is perceived by others and the impression they leave behind. Much like a brand for a product or a business, a personal brand is a deliberate and curated representation of who you are and what you stand for.
A personal brand is the essence of who you are and what you represent. It's a dynamic and evolving identity that shapes your relationships, your career, and your impact on the world. It's a promise you make to yourself and to others, a commitment to being the best version of yourself, and leaving a lasting impression that reflects your authenticity and values. Your personal brand is a valuable asset that can open doors, create opportunities, and shape your path to success and fulfillment.

There are so many mixed opinions about setting “New Year Resolutions.”  Some laugh at the idea, others publicly laugh at the idea and then set them anyway in the privacy of their own minds.  There’s a chance there’s a few people in between, but probably not. 
What is a resolution?  A resolution is a “firm decision to do or not do something.”  Read that again:  a “FIRM decision to do or not do something.”
That’s what makes them so intense and downright intimidating.  That firmness, leaving a sense of “do it entirely or not at all.”
So, people go on diets, restricting all of their favorite foods and living on chicken broccoli and rice.  People sign up for gym memberships, and commit two hours per day to use them between the commute, workout and everything in between.
Come March, they’re burnt out.  Maybe even before then.
Why?  Because they attacked the big picture without breaking it down into achievable, sustainable, bite sized steps. 
It’s a whole YEAR resolution, so why do we attack it with everything we have on day one?
PARALEGALS MAKING RESOLUTIONS TO START A FREELANCE BUSINESS OR GROW THEIR CAREER
Maybe you’ve never made a resolution to start a business or grow you career.  Maybe the latter is just a given… aren’t we all trying to grow?
While we might want to abandon the term “resolution,” as paralegals we should recognize the incredible position we are in for financial and personal excellence.  As the backbone to any successful law firm, all you desire is certainly waiting for you to find it and align with it.
Without some sort of vision for your life, the likelihood of realizing your true potential is low. 
So, make that goal. 
Decide: 2024 is the year I am going to start my freelance paralegal business and achieve amazing flexibility and financial success.
Decide: 2024 is the year I am going to start specializing in my career and climbing that ladder to six figures.
What have you decided for 2024? Whatever it is, here are the reasons why you won’t achieve it:
