Training for Paralegals

As a former paralegal and paralegal manager, I know the challenge of finding that “on-the-job” training in a paralegal’s early years, as well as the challenge of finding the time to provide that training as a busy paralegal manager.

As a busy paralegal, you don’t want to waste hours on paralegal training or courses that don’t add real value to your career. You want to walk away with a new skill that you can put into practice immediately.

And if you’re a paralegal manager like I was, you want to know that you are investing in team training that is adding real value and not just paper certificates stuffed in a file drawer.

Our Paralegal Performance System helps law firms reduce ramp-up time, minimize rework, and free attorneys from day-to-day training by installing a repeatable performance framework for legal support staff.

Let’s do this together,

Best paralegal training I’ve ever had!

Everything I learned in this boot camp I was able to apply to my job duties from Day 1 and I was able to build from each lesson to better perform my job. Anyone who was in a sink-or-swim position like I was should definitely invest in any of her courses.

Most law firms don’t have a paralegal training problem. They have a dependency problem.

Attorneys become the default trainers when:

  • New hires don’t know what “good” or “great” looks like because no one has the time to show them
  • Work stalls without step-by-step instructions 
  • Mistakes repeat because nothing is systematized
  • Paralegals wait for direction because they haven’t been shown what “owning the outcome” looks like

The result isn’t just frustration – it’s lost billable time, rework, and slowed growth.

A CLE webinar won’t fix this.

What fixes it is a performance system that teaches legal support staff how to:

  • Think like problem-solvers
  • Manage work like project managers
  • Own the outcomes, not just tasks
  • Anticipate needs instead of reacting
  • Work accurately and independently within firm standards

 

That’s what the Paralegal Performance System installs.

The Results You Can Expect

Within 90 days of starting the Paralegal Performance System, you see paralegals who:

✅ Bring solutions instead of questions

✅ Track progress without being changed

✅ Manage files proactively and consistently

✅ Reduce avoidable mistakes through systems

✅ Control their time and priorities

✅ Actively develop skills aligned with firm needs

Scalable training system

Life-changing knowledge!

This course is what every paralegal job induction week should look like. Incredible amounts of tips and advice and just overall useful knowledge. These videos prevent you from going in blind to a new job, which, for me, is such a relief because the only thing you’re thinking about when you’re the new guy at work is, “Oh god, I hope I don’t screw up something and lose the case and get fired.” The materials given in this course certainly help ease your mind about what you’re supposed to be doing at each stage of the case you’ve been assigned. Cannot recommend this enough.

Paralegal Training For Your Team

How it works

The Paralegal Performance System is a layered framework:

  • Foundation: A performance foundation that establishes ownership, initiativem and excellence
  • Reinforcement: Accountability and group coaching to turn principles into daily behaviors
  • Customization: Practice-specific and role-specific training deployed as needed
 

Paralegal Boot Camp is a proprietary training framework developed by Ann Pearson and PRM Group to serve as the foundation for the Paralegal Performance System used by law firms, corporate legal departments, and other organizations to onboard, develop, and elevate their legal support staff.

What’s the difference between this paralegal training and a paralegal CLE webinar?


Most CLE webinars check a compliance box. 

They rarely change how your paralegals work on Monday morning.

The Paralegal Performance System is designed to improve on-the-job execution, not generate certificates that get filed away and forgotten.

We focus on practical, repeatable skills your paralegals use every day:

  • how they manage files
  • anticipate issues
  • communicate with clients
  • protect deadlines
  • support profitability

 

The result isn’t just “trained” staff, it’s paralegals who think proactively, reduce friction, and make your practice run better.
