Question for subrogation attorneys: is your job also half legal work, half claims management? I started at a subro firm recently and it’s been an adjustment since I was at a traditional law firm before. Any tips for managing the high volume of tasks that come with claims management while also dealing with litigation deadlines?

Hi new here. Idk what my value is and if I’m getting paid an amount that reflects my hard work. I am a paralegal for a small law firm (family and immigration) w only 1 attorney.

I don’t see how that resolved the conflict…and he’s fully pressuring me to meet. How to respond?
