Paragon Legal Group Response
11yThank you for sharing your experience at Paragon, and for being part of our team! Just a note that any of our attorneys working in the city of San Francisco do receive notable sick leave, and we will be looking at sick leave for all attorneys for 2015. As you said (thanks!), we try to focus on maximum salary for our attorneys, since this seems to be what most people focus on when evaluating comp, and we know that hour-for-hour, we do better than most comparable law firm or in-house jobs. Between immense flexibility, salary, paid time off, contributions to benefits, bar dues, MCLEs, access to tickets to great events (including the Giants play-offs) and other social outings for our attorneys and their families (farm visits, chocolate tastings, and more!), we hope we're not only providing very competitive comp, but also building a unique community that our attorneys can be a part of for many years to come. In terms of job security, the majority of our attorneys have been at Paragon for multiple years, and continuously on project with little or few gaps. We actually feel that given the behavior of the current permanent job market, Paragon in some ways offers a more secure job environment than standard law-firm or in-house jobs. Of course, this is project-based work and we are customizing projects for the location and schedule that each attorney specifies, so unfortunately we cannot guarantee that there will not be gaps. But if you do good work and are in a core practice area, chances are you will have as much work as you need.
