What Paralegals Do (and What Lawyers Shouldn't Do?) - One of the most significant factors inflating legal costs is the use of people with seniority (and billing rates) higher than is necessary. Clients have every right to insist that law firms permit paralegal tasks to be performed only by paralegals. People, however, may differ as to which tasks can be appropriately assigned to paralegals. To assist clients and managers of outside counsel, this page lists tasks that are performed by paralegals.
