When you think of a lawyer you instantly of someone with a high IQ who has done very well at all levels of education and while this may be true you do not often think of a lawyer having a very high emotional intelligence or as someone who can identify and relate to the various emotions that people can go through. However, recently, there has been a move away from purely IQ and law skills and a shift towards identifying, with the help of emotional intelligence (EQ) services, those who do possess quite a high EQ.

Why is this beneficial to a law firm? Well it can help ‘personalize’ a lawyer to an extent in that they will be much more able to identify their clients’ emotions and how they will react to certain situations and decide on an appropriate course of action. Indeed, much of emotional intelligence is based on your own emotions and controlling them and a lawyer does need to have a clear head at all times and not let their feelings get the better of them. EI is changing many businesses in the 21st century and it looks as if the law profession is just one of them. ]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2012 12:10:00 +0000 https://www.paralegalsblog.com/guides/legal-firms-ei/ https://www.paralegalsblog.com/guides/legal-firms-ei/
Courts of law are not discriminating on their denials of disability claims as all forms of claims are being targeted including Social Security disability, life insurance, and even veteran's disability claims! What many law firms are discovering is that in many cases a disability claim will be denied simply because that is the standard procedure for the court to follow. However, disability lawyers are combating the issue at the source and they fully realize and understand a citizen's right to have their disability claim researched and proceeded over in a timely and legal fashion. Many citizens with legitimate disability claims will quickly lose faith and abandon their disability claim but it is recommended to stick with the case through the appeal process. When a just court of law realizes that someone is acceptably owed disability services then their claim has a much higher chance of succeeding. ]]> Fri, 25 May 2012 07:58:33 +0000 https://www.paralegalsblog.com/guides/disability-denials-on-the-rise/ https://www.paralegalsblog.com/guides/disability-denials-on-the-rise/
Instead of coming to an end and closing up shop forever, the government offers guidance to companies so they can continue to exist even though they may not currently be solvent or profitable. In the eyes of financial law, companies that choose this option are reclassified as a Phoenix company, which is a company which persists after a previous company has become totally insolvent. The resulting phoenix company typically offers the same (or similar) products and services as the original company but their practices may be watch guarded by a ruling administration or panel to ensure they become profitable so they avoid the same mistakes as the previous company and remain solvent. Undertaking this course of action comes with many financial laws and management so it is highly recommended to consult a proper source before following this avenue. ]]> Sat, 28 Apr 2012 07:04:31 +0000 https://www.paralegalsblog.com/guides/out-of-the-ashes-of-liquidation/ https://www.paralegalsblog.com/guides/out-of-the-ashes-of-liquidation/ Childhood sexual abuse lawyers can be easily found and it is just a matter of finding one that you are comfortable with talking to and pursing your case; after all, this is a very sensitive subject.

However, what is a PPI and what is defined as being mis-sold. Well, basically a payment protection insurance is a policy that is taken out when you get a loan or get something on finance; essentially it is there to help you make repayments if you have lost your job or cannot make the payments anymore on a regular basis however many people were mis-sold these policies. For a start you need to be employed to get one however they were being given out to students and retired people; furthermore there are certain health issues around PPI’s and some people were given this policy when they were not eligible. In fact, there is a great number of people who were paying into one of these schemes and not even knowing that they were in the first place.
