Law Firm Layoffs Galore: LawCrossing Aspires to Help More and More Attorneys Get Jobs

LawCrossing, the world’s leading legal job board, expressed deep concern over the loss of jobs throughout the year and announced a renewed drive to post more and more legal jobs in its database in the new year.

Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) December 31, 2008 — LawCrossing, the world’s leading legal job board, expressed deep concern over the loss of jobs throughout the year and announced a renewed drive to post more and more legal jobs in its database in the new year.

"These are hard times for legal professionals; the competition is cut-throat for the positions that are active," says A. Harrison Barnes, Esq., the founder and CEO of LawCrossing. "The legal job market is deeply affected by the recession, and law firms are finding it hard to keep their footing in the shaky economy."

Dozens of law firms have cut lawyers and staff in the past year, mainly in structured finance and real estate, while four large law firms were closed down. It is interesting to note that as recently as 2004, Heller Ehrman, the 118-year old firm, was ranked second on The American Lawyer magazine’s "A-list," which ranks law firms on the basis of profitability, pro bono representation, associate satisfaction, and diversity ratings. The San Francisco-based law firm, which withstood both the 1906 earthquake and the Great Depression, could not endure the pressures of the present crumbling economy and was shut down.

Thacher Proffitt, a 160-year old firm, also announced that it will close down operations next year after its planning committee failed to reach a merger agreement with an unidentified firm, and the subprime crisis slashed demand for its structured-finance practice. New York-based Dreier also filed for bankruptcy protection after its founder was jailed and accused of cheating hedge funds out of more than $100 million. Thelen, a San Francisco firm, like Thacher, focused on structured finance, also got shut down earlier this year.

"Many law firms could not hold its ground in the face of increasing competition," says Barnes. "This might happen to any law firm today, irrespective of its position in the industry. Now, the real problem is that many legal professionals find it hard to search for active legal jobs. What is important, according to my experience as an attorney, is that one should look for jobs in the right places."

LawCrossing scours legal job openings from virtually every law firm, government agency, employer career webpage, and legal job board in America. It is a pioneer in introducing new search features for finding legal jobs, and is the largest legal job board in the world. The site provides resources for law students, attorneys, and legal staff alike with active jobs totaling 140,000-plus legal jobs. LawCrossing constantly tracks the hiring needs of over 250,000 employers every day. It also reviews more than 10,000 websites per day in search of new legal job openings.

Barnes adds, "LawCrossing seeks to add every job opening possible from literally every source of jobs. We want to find them all."

The RealSource Multifamily Stimulus Package Delivers "Safe Haven" for Cash, IRA and Equity Investors

December 29th, 2008 @ PRWeb

The RealSource Multifamily Stimulus Package Delivers "Safe Haven" for Cash, IRA and Equity Investors

Americans can invest in commercial real estate. Whether it is IRA moneys, liquid savings accounts or home equity, the money is there to start the process," explained Michael Anderson, Principal Broker of RealSource.net, a leader in multifamily and apartment investments. "It is the decision to move forward that escapes many would-be successful real estate investors."

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) December 29, 2008 — More than one expert in the news media said this is the ‘worst’ of times’ for real estate companies and investors. And it was, for some, but not for RealSource. Charles Dickens aptly wrote, "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness…" And that summarizes the situation today. It may be a difficult time for many investments, but it’s a great time for multifamily real estate investors.

"Multifamily has traditionally been considerably more recession proof than any other form of real estate investment simply because people always need a place to live. In a recession, housing affordability is taken off the table. If people cannot afford to get into that starter home or to stay in their current home, they look to rental property as the solution for those living needs," said Michael Anderson, RealSource Founder and co-owner. "Today, we are probably seeing the very best of times as far as an increase in rental demand, the predecessor of pushing income and thus the value of multifamily real estate."

A recent study by two prestigious organizations backs up Anderson’s claims. A key finding of the Fourth Quarter 2008 Real Estate Research Corporation /CCIM Investment Trends Quarterly, found that the apartment sector, the only safe haven for investor dollars, earned the highest investment conditions rating at 6.2. Since the first economic salvos hit the economy in 2007, Third Quarter of 2007, apartments have led all property types in this category. Apartments also led the other key property types in two other categories: return versus risk, where it scored a 6.1 rating, and value versus price, where apartments scored 5.0. The value versus price analysis indicates survey respondents maintain the value of apartment properties are equal to the price paid.

"Investments in multifamily properties are solid and stable opportunities when they are made in the right properties, in the right markets, and at the right times," Anderson added. "We provide investors with an economic staff and research that tracks 363 MSAs nationwide, and tools and technology to keep them connected to their properties as if they were able to manage them directly themselves."

The RealSource niche, since 1989, is multifamily investments. RealSource presents income-producing opportunities to clients and pays affiliate brokers the commissions and referral fees they deserve - again and again.

Based in Chicago, the CCIM Institute confers the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation to commercial real estate professionals through an extensive curriculum of 200 classroom hours, in additional to professional experiential requirements. Currently, there are 9,500 CCIMs in 1,000 markets worldwide. An additional 9,500 practitioners are pursuing the designation.

Real Estate Research Corporation (RERC) was one of the first and continues to be one of the most recognized commercial real estate research, valuation, and consulting firms in the nation. RERC research, publications, market studies, property valuations, investment criteria, and trends analysis have offered sound insight for the industry for 75 years.

To schedule interviews with Mr. Anderson, contact Peter L. Mosca at 732.841.4778 or go to www.realsource.net/bestoftimes.

Nashville Church Posts Former Building on eBay®

Nashville Church Posts Former Building on eBay®

After more than 45 years in its former location, Otter Creek Church employs online auction site eBay® to sell the property, sanctuary, and school.

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) December 29, 2008 — The Otter Creek Church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee, has decided to list its former building on eBay®. Hoping to gain attention for the property in the midst of an economic downturn and real estate turmoil, the church has turned to the online international auction and shopping site.

The church’s property, located at 5253 Granny White Pike in Nashville, is comprised of 9.65 acres totaling 31,210 sq. ft. which includes a sanctuary, two-story educational wing, and large parking lot.

Having outgrown their Granny White location, the Otter Creek Church purchased a building in Brentwood from the Living Word Church in early 2006. The former building is currently being leased to a church. The Otter Creek Kindergarten and Preschool are also continuing to occupy the space while the school is trying to relocate to the new Brentwood location as well.

Phil Gibbs, Otter Creek’s Director of Ministries says, "The move of the Otter Creek church family to our new location has certainly been a blessing, but it was done with very mixed feelings since so many of us have had our children raised and baptized at the Granny White location. While we feel sure that our move was directed by God, we would be most gratified to see the Granny White property be used as a church facility playing an important role in the Forest Hills community."

The property is located in the Forest Hills neighborhood — one of the most affluent in Nashville. The property is zoned institutional, making the property most ideal for a church or school.

"Having spent my career in the commercial real estate market in Nashville," says Otter Creek elder Wayne Tomlinson, "I can say with great confidence that this may be one of the top locations for a medium size church looking to make an impact in the Nashville community. The feel of the building and the access to the southern portions of Metro Nashville makes this a very attractive opportunity for the right church."

Associate Minister Doug Sanders adds, "For a growing church that has a heart for Nashville, I can think of no better place to locate. In the days of ostentatious buildings meant to showcase a group of people to the community, this property quietly reaches out and invites the neighborhoods to come in and get to know Jesus."

Interested parties may contact Otter Creek at (615) 373-1782 or www.5253grannywhite.com for more information.

LawCrossing Adds More Jobs for Paralegals and Legal Support Staff in This Downturn

LawCrossing Adds More Jobs for Paralegals and Legal Support Staff in This Downturn

Despite daily reports of law firms cutting staff, LawCrossing added over 12,000 legal jobs in the last week, and the site now lists 12,318 jobs for legal staff professionals.

Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) December 27, 2008 — Despite daily reports of law firms cutting staff, LawCrossing added over 12,000 legal jobs in the last week, and the site now lists 12,318 jobs for legal staff professionals.

"Paralegals, legal assistants, and legal secretaries play an extremely important role in a law firm, and LawCrossing aims to provide every available job opening for these professionals," says Harrison Barnes, CEO of LawCrossing.

Legal secretaries and paralegals provide valuable assistance to attorneys preparing for trials, hearings, or contract negotiations. "The concept of legal assistant was born in the late 1960s when law firms and individual practitioners were seeking ways to improve the efficiency and cost effective delivery of legal services," adds Harrison Barnes.

In recent times, several law firms have laid off legal support staff in view of the downsizing economy. Dechert LLP, an international law firm, laid off 72 of its 570 staff across 11 US offices. Last month, New York-based White & Case gave pink slips to around 90 legal staff members, while San Francisco-based Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe laid off 35 members of its support staff. Another international law firm Brown Rudnick LLP laid off almost 10% of its global workforce, which included 20 lawyers, three paralegals, and 20 members of support staff.

"These are tough times for paralegals, legal secretaries, assistants, and other legal support staff, but there are thousands of jobs if one knows where to locate them. LawCrossing has hundreds of researchers who do nothing but find every available legal job for these professionals," says Harrison Barnes, who founded LawCrossing in 2003.

During the dot-com bubble, when thousands of legal professionals were laid off, Harrison Barnes realized that there was an urgent need for a source that provided legal professionals access to hidden jobs too. He conceptualized LawCrossing, a place that provided legal professionals access to each and every legal job on this planet.

Best Selling Author And Star Of The Hit Movie "The Secret" Praises The Productivity Epiphany

December 26th, 2008 @ PRWeb

Best Selling Author And Star Of The Hit Movie "The Secret" Praises The Productivity Epiphany

International Speaker and Body Language Expert, Vincent Harris, has released his new book: The Productivity Epiphany. For those who are wanting to make a few changes, or even transform their life in 2009, this book offers new insights that many will find helpful.

Kansas City, Missouri (PRWEB) December 26, 2008 - International Speaker, Vincent Harris, has released his new book, The Productivity Epiphany: Leading Edge Ideas on Time Management, Self-Management, Communication and Becoming More Productive in Any Area of Life

Vincent Harris wanted to write a different kind of book. While his personal library is loaded with many good books on increasing your productivity, Harris say’s "They all promote some variation of a "one size fits all" formula, and while many of them are excellent books, my experience has been that human beings are far too unique, to hope that a single formula will work for something as multi-faceted as increasing your personal effectiveness and productivity." Harris also felt that a book for increasing productivity in areas of life other than business was important. "There isn’t one aspect of our lives that doesn’t influence all of the others; there are interconnected. The fact that we have tried so hard to compartmentalize our lives, erroneously thinking that we can work on "just one" area has caused a great deal of confusion."

Harris has always enjoyed the experience of being fully engaged in some activity, and then suddenly having what he calls a "productivity epiphany." "It’s in these golden moments that we truly find the answer; we own it because it came forth from our own mind. All that was required was to give it (our mind) an ample amount of quality information to work with. That’s the book I wanted to write, a book that would provide the reader with many thought provoking insights to work with, and that’s exactly what I wrote."

The proof is in the pudding with books though. It’s not what the author "meant" to write that matters. In the end, what really counts is whether those that have read the book liked it, and would then recommend it to others. Dr. Joe Vitale, the author of "The Attractor Factor" and co-star of the world wide movie success "The Secret" had this to say of Vince’s new book: "This book belongs in your personal development library!" Eric Knowles, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of Arkansas, Chief Scientist, Omega Change Consulting Group, and author of "Resistance and Persuasion" was equally impressed: "I was absorbed and expanded by this book. You will profit from owning, reading, and re-reading this book."

If you are looking for rock soild ideas on time management, persuasion and influence, peak performance and communication, you’ll find it all in The Productivity Epiphany.

While Harris is best known for his captivating presentations and workshops on body language and communication, he quietly works "behind the scenes" consulting for high level executives, athletes, and men and women simply wanting a competitive edge in life. "The Productivity Epiphany" is full of the insights that Harris has used so successfully with both his clients and himself over the last decade. Vince’s book was published by Beckworth Publications and is now available on Amazon.com or can be accessed through his website at www.vinceharris.com
