Why am I seeing job postings where some paralegals are making more than associate attorneys?
Question by klav: Why am I seeing job postings where some paralegals are making more than associate attorneys?
When looking at legal job postings, I see a lot of posts for paralegals. Some of the salaries are more than associate attorneys I know are making. Some are even more than senior lawyers I know make at small law firms, and definitely more than a lot of solo attorney I know.
Why is this? Are paralegals becoming more valuable than attorneys to some companies? Do you think this profession will continue to grow and evolve? Will they become more valuable and make more money?
Also I am talking “real” paralegal positions here, not legal assistant jobs or legal secretaries.

that isnt surprising, as that could be a 30 yrs experienced paralegal vs a rookie associate attorney.
