legal assistants

Legal assistants, also known as paralegals, are trained professionals who support lawyers by performing tasks such as conducting legal research, preparing documents, organizing case files, and assisting with client communications. They do not provide legal advice but play a crucial role in ensuring legal procedures are efficient and organized. Legal assistants help streamline case management, enabling lawyers to focus on the legal aspects of a case. They are knowledgeable about legal processes and terminology, and typically work under the supervision of attorneys to support the legal team's overall effectiveness.
