    your personal brand

    Most legal staff likely know the importance of attorneys networking and building their book of business, but did you know that it’s just as important for paralegals and legal assistants to do the same? For those who wish to expand their knowledge base, take the next step in their career, or prepare to take on a new role, building their personal brand can make the difference when trying to stand out in the crowd. In this webinar, Nathan M. Ciulla, a senior legal assistant at SATC|Law and the Director of Marketing for the Chicago Paralegal Association, will walk through what personal branding is, why it’s important, and how you can grow it. You’ll also learn the importance of finding your professional voice and how to use it on professional social media networks. Your story, experience, and lessons learned are accessible tools that will set you apart if you know how, when, and where to share them.

    Please note that this event is not hosted by Chicago Paralegal Association. It is being presented by Nathan Ciulla, CPA Director of Marketing for NALA-The Paralegal Association.

    Time: 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

    Location: Webinar - at your desk!

    Cost: Free for members, $10.00 for non-members***


    Love it or hate it, you probably know that billing is an important part of what we do. While you may feel pressured to bill more hours, how you track and bill your time is equally as important as how much you bill. In this webinar, Nathan Ciulla will cover the basics of billing, discussing our ethical obligations, tips on how to track your time, and writing descriptions that depict what you actually do. Join us to find out why billing no longer has to be your biggest administrative headache.


    We offer many other webinars designed to help you in your day-to-day work. Members can watch them in the Resource Center here!
