Business Outlook
Pros
Interaction with paralegals, legal secretaries and younger associates. Depending on the practice group, one may be travelling to client sites and assist on document collection. Project Assistants are treated as employees of the firm, unlike other large law firms who treat theirs as independent contractors.
Cons
The work can be monotonous, since the litigation involves voluminous amounts of paper and quality checking of copies. Partners are so busy that they do not have time to mentor project assistants.
