Value of Training and Cost Savings for Attorneys

Paralegal training can save attorneys significant time and resources. A full-time paralegal in Florida, costs approximatly $78,000 annually (salary of $60,000 plus $18,000 in benefits and taxes).

If a new paralegal bills at $175/hour to clients, they need 446 billable hours per year to break even on their cost. Effective training ensures they reach this threshold faster by reducing onboarding time and errors.

For example, a 10-hour training program at $150/hour costs an attorney $1,500 but can accelerate a paralegal’s productivity, potentially saving weeks of inefficient work—worth thousands in lost billable hours.
