This is good information. I've been thinking about it, but like the security of working for my current firm.

Did you open your own company, or you do it through upwork?

Check contract work. They pay really well, and some even offer insurance.

I’ve thought about doing this but have not followed through. What got you started on your path? Are your clients attorneys/law firms or what kind of work do you do?

If you do freelance litigation work as a paralegal, how do you calculate and calendar deadlines?

Currently a paralegal at a small start up financial services company been there for just a little over a year. I wear “multiple hats” but more recently I’ve done a lot of PM work and some BA work.

Paralegals: My firm is looking for a paralegal, and I see the job posting advertising the salary as $65-$75k, with benefits. Is this a good salary for a paralegal (Greater LA area)?

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like? Did you have to take a lower position to gain the experience or were you able to argue that your soft skills were transferable to in house? I’ve been in litigation for 15 years and I’m looking to make the switch. Ultimately, I’d like to get into Legal Ops, but feel getting some in house experience first would be beneficial.
