[QUOTE="LM, post: 49653, member: 9535"] Thanks, [USER=4662]@Danielle J[/USER]. Hopefully my responses below provide some help but please let me know if I can provide any additional detail: Question 1 - This is a question I often get asked and there is no one correct way of tackling this issue. However, honesty really is the best policy. I would often force the question back onto the colleague; by this I mean, I would disclose what work I had on, express an interest in assisting but ask for their opinion on whether they thought I had time to assist. I am actually talking about this in more detail on Thursday's webinar so please do tune in! Question 2 - There are huge similarities. The tasks that both a trainee and a paralegal can be involved in are pretty comparable. The tasks that come to mind include managing due diligence reports, communicating with other departments about their input, devising step plans, and managing signing / closing checklists. Some firms may only allow paralegals to do some of the tasks I have mentioned, while more experienced paralegals are often involved in all trainee tasks. [/QUOTE]
