The candidate should have employment or internship experiences that may be relevant to the paralegal position. We also recruit college graduates with certificates from paralegal schools approved by the American Bar Association. The paralegals at Abbott Nicholson come from around the country and represent a variety of academic institutions. Several also hold graduate degrees. We offer equal employment opportunity to all qualified persons regardless of their race, religion, sex, age, national origin, marital status, veteran status, disability or sexual orientation.
Diversity is an important element of the Firm's character.
Within each practice area, assignments and work allocation are made according to client needs. New paralegals are assigned a mentor, an experienced attorney familiar with the firm's procedure and culture. The purpose of the mentor program is to ease paralegals integration into the firm. The paralegal's mentor is responsible for the administration of staff matters and serves as a resource to the paralegals. There are monthly paralegal meetings to discuss substantive practice area issues and administrative matters.
