15 Hilarious Videos About Ankara boşanma avukatı

[Mae Kierstead]

When I started my law firm I was confronted with many choices. What kind of law will I practice? Where will I practice? Who do I want for clients? What kind of fees will I charge? It wasn't until I actually got into the planning stages of the law firm that I began to see these questions as more big picture, firm philosophy type of questions. These type of questions may never be fully answered because they are not static.

One big picture question that is static and that can have a profound effect on the success of your firm is its name. What's in a name? A lot if you think about it. Think about your own name for starters. What if you had been named something different? What if you were a boy and had been given a girls name? What if you were born in a particular religion and were given a name not associated with that religion? Have you ever been to a place where for some reason your name was looked down upon? These same types of feelings can be encountered with your law firm name.

The great thing about starting a law firm is that you get to think about this and plan ahead. If you are starting a law firm and are reading this article, you are probably either fairly young, fairly technologically proficient, or both. If you are, then you can probably see that the face and structure of the practice of law are shifting gradually beneath everyone's feet. Competition is fierce, and image is everything. And guess what, one of the first things people will learn about you, something they will probably use to form an opinion about you before they even meet you, is your firm name.

When naming your law firm there are some things you should think about to make sure you are maximizing that first impression. First, don't use your name. Second, it should be easy to remember. And finally, it should make people feel and think the way you want them to feel and think about your law firm. Although this may seem easy, when you actually try to do it, I think you'll find it is a pretty tough exercise.

Some you are probably thinking, "why not use your name? Everyone else does." That is precisely why. Although people have different goals, if you are starting a law firm, one of those goals is probably to make money practicing law. You make money by having people sign up for your services. People sign up for your services when they know who you are. Why blend in with everyone else when you can set yourself apart? Not only does not using your name allow you to present an image in prospective client's minds, it allows you to build the brand you want. A great example of this is Valorem Law Group. If you look at their website a central theme is discarding the billable hour to provide clients value for what they are being paid. If you don't already know, valorem is latin for value (loosely). Do you see the jump start you can get on the competition with a good name?

Second, easy to remember. This is practical for obvious reasons. If people refer your services to friends or colleagues, what is easier to remember, Valorem Law Group or Smith, Sands, Zaremba, Charles, Flippy and Jagermeister? Make your name easy to remember and you make it easier to get business - a key when starting a law firm.

Finally, the brand. When you start your own law firm you start out as the brand. At all times you are promoting your practice, you are what your practice stands for. But before anyone knows what you are all about, you can start them down the right track Ankara boşanma avukatı with a great name that represents the firm philosophy. A strong, powerful, confident name can make the difference in someone choosing to call you. It can also mask your size. "The law firm of Joe Shmoe" implies that you are a small firm. Like it or not many people associate small firm size with poor performance or cheap services. Look bigger than you are immediately by having a firm name that connotes structure, organization, and numbers.

It can be the best of both worlds - a challenging, rewarding career and being a parent. Just look in any law office mom cubicle or office, and see the framed pictures proudly displayed. Those pictures bring a little bit of home to the office for moms. When at home, dressing up in the mornings and back down again in late afternoon signifies the dual hat these employees must wear.

Paralegals are professionals. They have standards to maintain - completing their work assignments accurately and within deadlines, being a picture themselves...a cool, calm and collected picture...and representing their firm in a very positive way.

But what happens when baby is sick and that work deadline is still unmet?

What happens when mom has to work late, her son is at day care, and day care closes at 6:00?

Which gets the best of mom - her job or her children?

It's definitely a juggling act. For an overworked, overstressed mom, sometimes just keeping the balls in the air is more important than how high they go.

It is my personal opinion that parent issues should be addressed before final acceptance of a new position. If the job preceded the new addition to the family, come to agreements with your employer well before maternity leave begins.

What possible good can come from actually bringing up such issues in advance? That's an easy one. Employers tend to be more agreeable to issues before they crop up as an immediate problem! In addition, everyone knows what to expect out of situations. Bad feelings on either side are circumvented by adhering to what was agreed. We're talkin' about law firms here, folks. The experts of contracts, agreements, organizational documents. Attorney bosses automatically have a grasp of what it means to agree to terms. Of course, they also know how to stall, amend and re-notice as well, but we'll ignore that while we concentrate on tackling the potential problems at hand.

If baby is sick, some options to consider are: 1) ask the co-parent to take off a half day too and stagger nursing care; 2) pre-arrange in instances like this to take assignments home with you; 3) see if another employee can cover; or 4) if approved, return after hours or on the weekend to make up the time and work.

Working late can get really tricky as the day care clock ticks. You may have been able to negotiate which your boss prefers - you simply must leave in time to pick up your child, or your boss agrees to pay the day care's late charges. There are other options that can be tossed in there too, like a relative or friend picks up the child, or you pick up the child yourself and either return with child, or return as soon as you have suitable care in place.

As for the question of which gets the best of mom...the answer is her children. And yet, the wise paralegal knows how to make her boss feel respectfully considered too.
