As a professional, you want to constantly evaluate new developments in your field. One thing LNCs may overlook is that this field can expand and shift during extraordinary times, such as the current pandemic.Molly McGrath, who helps attorneys with their staffing issues, pays great attention to these shifts. She suggests that estate planning and elder are two rapidly growing areas where LNCs, both because of their training in compassion and attention to detail, can find lucrative employment.Some of these openings have occurred because the pandemic has made people aware that they need to plan for the future and for their heirs. Molly, however, points out that as early as 2008, many paralegals, seeing how much demand existed for their services, decided to exercise their power and work as independent contractors. Their scarcity also led to more openings for LNCs to work with lawyersShe also states that the traditional role of the paralegal as gatekeeper has virtually disappeared. Both paralegals and lawyers are swamped with work. They want to hear from LNCs.Molly also provides a detailed template for getting attorneys’ attention through LinkedIn.If you are looking for a way to increase or to change the focus of your LNC practice, you will find a treasure trove of advice and information in this podcast.What role can a staffing specialist play in an attorney’s office?Why is legal estate planning an ideal field for LNCs?Why is it a good time for LNCs to consider this area of law?How, in a legal environment where paralegals less frequently serve as gatekeepers for attorneys, can LNCs connect with prospective clients?Why does saying, “I’m not trying to sell you anything” have a boomerang effect?https://youtu.be/qjcfbow0aAELNC Success is a Livecast Virtual Conference 2-day event designed for legal nurse consultants just like you!Pat Iyer and Barbara Levin put together THE first Legal Nurse Consulting Virtual Conference in July 2020.They are back with their 7th all new conference based on what attendees said they’d find most valuable.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Molly McGrath discuss:The greatest employment tools you have as a business owner. Attracting players and keeping key employees. Reinventing the hiring process to catch the rockstar candidates. What lawyers want more than money and perks. Key Takeaways:It’s not just about the money. It is about the time, the attention, the resources, the communication, and the feedback with you and your employees. People are not job hunting. They are digging into coaching and self-discovery. You have to outsource hiring because you have to sell your firm, yourself, and your company.Investing in your people, invest in yourself, invest in your culture, invest in coaching. This will help to attract and retain employees. Lawyers want firms that are flexible and progressive in their thinking and business models.  "When you hire someone, it is a relationship and not a transaction. The greatest retention tool, the greatest hiring tool, even if you cannot compete with big firm salaries, if you can communicate and demonstrate that you are invested in the relationship with an employee and you give them consistent time, attention and feedback they'll take your job over anybody else's." —  Molly McGrath Connect with Molly McGrath:  Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/Books: https://hiringandempowering.com/business-development-books/Show: https://hiringandempowering.com/podcast/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/molly-hallmcgrath/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HireAndEmpowerFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering/ Thank you to our Sponsors!Legalese Marketing: https://legaleasemarketing.com/Moneypenny: https://www.moneypenny.com/us/ Connect with Steve Fretzin:LinkedIn: Steve FretzinTwitter: @stevefretzinFacebook: Fretzin, Inc.Website: Fretzin.comEmail: Steve@Fretzin.comBook: The Ambitious Attorney: Your Guide to Doubling or Even Tripling Your Book of Business and more!YouTube: Steve FretzinCall Steve directly at 847-602-6911 Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-SturkieAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
