I have been a litigation paralegal for over 20 years, but I also have extensive experience in process improvement, sops, and project management. I've been trying to find more search terms that encompass these skills as they are something I truly enjoy. I've tried legal ops, but a lot of those roles come back with SEC filings and Board assistance, which is not something I have experience in. Any other suggestions on search terms that might be good for to try?

Project coordinator roles might be another title to consider. Some of these positions hire more entry-level employees, giving you a chance to work your way up. Best of luck to you!

Thank you!

It may be what you used to do was updated. I’ve 30 years exp and have found many of the work I used to do was mostly updated and automated. Luckily my software skills are up to snuff which is key to our success at our age. 😘

Thank you, but I have used lots of different software, including managing backend work on some, so that's not an issue.

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.
