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 lawyers

She 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?

An LNC who wants to expand her business will very likely get involved in supplying expert witnesses. Kathleen Isenhart, an LNC who currently works primarily with defense attorneys, has extensive experience with the hiring and coaching process.

One of the biggest challenges in this process is finding an expert who is a match for the kind of case involved. These qualifications can vary from state to state, but the hiring LNC in any states needs to find as close a match as possible, not only because it produces a more convincing expert but because the LNC wants to hire someone who won’t be challenged by the opposing attorney.

Kathleen goes into valuable detail about other qualifications for expert witnesses. She looks for someone who speaks well, appears confident, has an impressive CV, and, ideally, has a good amount of experience. She also wants someone whose fee schedule she thinks her attorney will accept.

She also speaks at length about how Zoom depositions and trials have altered the atmosphere of these proceedings. In general, one finds more informality. A recorded deposition may also capture the behavior of a bullying attorney, an aspect that didn’t get captured in the past.

If you have a practice that includes referring expert witnesses, you will have the opportunity to fine-tune your procedures. If you are considering adding this service, you will learn some invaluable strategies for success in this field.

Have you ever considered working in-house as an LNC in a law firm? Chelsea Harris, who made the shift from clinical nursing to in-housework, provides a detailed description of what this involves.

She is the only in-house LNC in her firm, with three other LNCs working remotely. While she works on her own cases, she also organizes the work done by the other LNCs. She is, in addition, actively involved in trial prep work, finding expert witnesses, and interacting directly with clients. Now that live trials are beginning again, she looks forward to attending some.

Although Chelsea wondered how she would adjust to the huge differences in environment between a clinical setting and a law office, she finds the quiet atmosphere refreshing. She’d worried about the lack of activity and the increased necessity to focus; she has adjusted well. And she doesn’t miss the 12-hour shifts.

For Chelsea, working in-house has many other positive aspects. She likes knowing how each of the attorneys in the firm want their reports to be written. She is also able to, on a weekly basis, make everyone in the firm of the responsibilities she has to accomplish. This means that they can see how their needs fit into her schedule of pre-existing work.

For those who would like to work in an in-house environment, she acknowledges that these situations, being highly desirable, get filled very quickly. She suggests that if you want this kind of work, you need to persist, as she did. And she’s never regretted it.

Beth Zorn is one of the pioneers in the LNC field, having worked as a legal nurse consultant for 35 years. She has extensive experience both as an in-house LNC, both for defense and plaintiff firms. Her information and advice will be invaluable for anyone considering in-house LNC work.

One primary distinction between plaintiff and defense work is that in the defense situation, cases may have been prescreened by the insurance company. In a plaintiff environment, paralegals often do the initial screening work. LNCs will evaluate cases that have some promise.

Beth takes us through the various stages of a case’s evolution, which is similar in both defense and plaintiff situations.

She emphasizes that the atmosphere of a law firm can vary greatly. In general, the size of a firm will determine the degree of mutual support and opportunity for LNCs to learn more about the legal aspects of their work. She feels strongly that in-house work gives LNCs a much greater opportunity to learn than the independent LNC gets.

One of the most valuable pieces of this podcast is Beth’s advice on how to successfully interview for an in-house position. She recommends coming with a host of questions targeted at discerning the work ethic, the company culture, and to determine how great the learning opportunities will be.

Be prepared for a priceless introduction to the world of in-house LNC work.
