Your Own 'CREATIVE' Document Processing LDA service Business
"Expanding Your Market Area Potentials with Familiarity Focusingy"

by Jonathan Arnold, Esq. - Director
and Bob Schott


This article is a follow-up or Part II of our recent article titled Marketing Your Paralegal LDA Career. That article addresses directing your career to a position at a firm as well as toward your own LDA service business so it would be beneficial to read that article as well. This article focuses on starting your own 'Creative' Document Processing Business and Familiarity Focusing.

Your Paralegal with your bonus LDA (Legal Document Assistant) course gives some unique options. If you're currently enrolled in your Paralegal course awaiting your LDA certification or even if you missed the current enrollment deadline and awaiting your upcoming enrollment schedule, you now have the unique opportunity to plan your own Legal Document Processing (LDP) service. However, as with our unique advanced and creative articles and tips, we're not just talking about starting a standard or traditional LDP service but one of pursuing an industry you desire by and unique focusing on various aspects of it.

Now is the time to prepare your strategy and if you did miss the recent enrollment it would be wise to enroll in Advance to secure your seat for the next upcoming classes. This would secure your seat (your career) and also give you added time to outline your career strategy and provide you with the added ability to actually query your instructors on a few areas your focusing on when you do attend that may not normally be included in your classes, a bit of a side benefit if you will. Take advantage of these highly qualified instructors while you have them available to you.

To begin, there are of course the basic traditional services an LFP service would provide and these we'll call your Standard Services. By selecting an industry you would like to market your career in and focusing on that one, we'll call that your Specialized or Primary Services

By the way, a brief mention and reminder on a couple of important basics regarding Sentence Composition and Disclaimers. An often overlooked element of some legal document service providers is that of preparation of documents with written sentences. Combining Passive with Active sentences at random when composing statements or phrases including citings and regulations can be confusing and possibly misleading. Just remember, Active sentences require stated principle subjects, Passive sentences are thorough without them.

A good source for such clarity that can help tighten up your preparation can be found in the Federal Governments Archives for Drafting Legal Documents Principles. Source: Federal Register Archives

Traditional/Standard Marketing

Traditional Paralegal LDA marketing often involves suggesting marketing directly to a law firm's paralegal staff as most lawyers designate the handling of such review tasks to their in-house paralegals. Most have a hard time thinking creatively on this, plus it can be rather limiting. So let's explore some advanced and creative methods, as we have covered in some of our previous articles.

Paralegal Careers in the Entertainment Industry

But first, here are some basic Standard and Typical LDP services you might select to offer- examples:

* Articles of Incorporation
* Corporations - (LLC) Operating Agreement
* Partnership Agreement - Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
* Hold Harmless (Indemnity) Agreement
* Purchase Order - Sales Agreement
* Freelance Contract - Independent Contractor Agreement
* Family Law Matters - Estate Planning - Deed of Trust
* Probate - Deeds - Guardianships - Name Change
* Small Claims - Small Business Services
* Letters of Introduction - Privacy Policy Forms - Research
* Service of Process - Pick Ups and Deliveries
* Rush and Priority Service - Discounted Bulk Serves
* Court Filings - eFilings

Also state your area of service ability ie; the county you are licensed to provide services in.

Specialized/Primary Marketing

This is where you set yourself apart from all the rest who live inside the traditional LDA box with blinders on. For your Specialized Service Interest it would be beneficial for you to read some of our previous articles on unique niche and focused topics for PL/LDA's in the Entertainment, Maritime, AI, Robotic and Aerospace industries as they cover expanded unique areas of pential.

For the purpose of illustration let's use your Familiarity Bio or Specialized List as being focused on the Entertainment Industry marketing approach. (Be sure to read the article Start Your Own Paralegal LDA Business in MUSIC that focuses specifically on Indie Artists we'll be using here as an example).

By hand picking a few areas you find fascinating that are of interest to you specifically pertaining to the Entertainment Industry you can then build your 'Related Industry Knowledge' or Familiarity Bio that gives you an edge over the 'standard' LDP service providers.

Your Specialzed Focus

Using the Indie-Artist category as an illustration, here are a few examples of services commonly related to this field of entertainment that you can feature as specializing and 'expanding' in:

* Trademarks - Copyrights
* Letters of Introduction - Performance Stipulations
* Location * Agreements
* Booking Contracts and appropriate Forms
* Production Liability Insurance
* E&O Insurance (Errors and Omissions)
* Privacy Notices - Cease and Desist Letters
* DBA's - Name Change - LLC's
* Artist/Band Names with * Performing Rights Organizations
* Contract Agreements - Performance rights forms
* BMI - ASCAP Sign-ups/Filings
* Equipment Rental / Lease agreements

Include pertinent support information and Include any organizations, groups, sites or association memberships that are directly related to this (or your specific industry you choose) that add to your credibility.

Specialized and Secondary Service Combo

Now, add that to your Secondary Services list and you'll see that you are now offering services most others don't, haven't thought of and aren't familiar with. In case you wonder about that, go ahead and research it and find out how many other LDP Service businesses list all of those. Your Maxium-Impact Advantage that you can apply to any category of special interest you want a career in.

Your 2 basic marketing materials

1 Cover Intro letter
2 One-Sheet AD
Always add a strong Call to Action in both, on the Cover make it a 'subtle' one, on the Ad Sheet make it a 'strong' one. Also, you'll obviously need a great website, a multi-media featured site in today's business world.

Be sure to draft each letter individually and are direct but upfront about your qualifications and experience.

Your Intro Letter

Keep in mind that you probably will not use the exact same letter for any two individuals and in reality should not, just make adjustments to a template that is completely and easily editable.

One way to form your introduction would be something like this example:

"We are approaching you because we are not the average Legal Document Processing Service. Our firm has familiarity with your specific industry category and can apply our services directly to your specific needs as well as covering the standard services you may require from time to time. It is our Familiarity specialty interests that will serve you above and beyond what you can expect from the traditional Processing Service."

Your Marketing Promo (Ad) One-Sheet

As in your introductory letter that can be easily modified for each specific client, your One-Sheet Flyer should be designed to include your Familiarity Specifics with the Specific Designated Business you are targeting.

Your opening statement or line in your Promotion would Immediately and Boldly state what sets you apart from the rest. Here is where you would Feature your Specialized service focus as we discussed earlier.

Before you begin reaching out to prospective businesses, consider what your direct Ad message delivery should include, (think of a normal TV commercial as an illustration) and draft your Ad that way. You can also include such things as a Discount for new customers, ie; Introductory Offer(s) for example. This will all depend on exactly what your Specialized category is and the services you offer of course. Presenting yourself (your services) as knowing the industry you'll be marketing to is your big plus or as we say...Your Maximum-Impact advantage!

While your business marketing approach would include posting your service online on classified ads, social networking, high-traffic websites, email lists, mailers, etc., 'What' your message delivery says is just as important and even more so as 'Where' your delivering your message.

Now just in case you're wondering how much potential for business you might be able to target with the M&E industry we used as an illustration in this article, here is a statistic that will give you a decent idea.

- The U.S. media and entertainment (M&E) industry is the largest in the world. At $735 billion, it represents a third of the global M&E industry, and it includes motion pictures, television programs and commercials, streaming content, music and audio recordings, broadcast, radio, book publishing, video games, and ancillary services and products. The U.S. industry is expected to reach more than $830 billion by 2022, according to the latest Entertainment & Media Outlook by PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
*Source: Select USA / US Department of Commerce -

Can you dissect the above categories into some of the numerous sub-categories within the M&E industry? Music and Audio Recordings for example, don't you think that the Indie Music category would be a great place to target your services due to the fact that the startup Indie musicians, songwriters, singers, performers, etc. don't have the large budgets of the majors to hire a staff of attorneys? What about the independent film producers and documentarians out there? These startups don't have those huge budgets either. We've also discussed this is come recent articles you may want to check out as well.

Here's where your Familiarity research ahead of time can pay off. By researching some of the History of each of these sub-categories you find interesting such as some of the court cases on piracy, plagiarism, copyright and trademark infringement cases for example, can show you are both interested and familiar with the industry you are targeting your service to. This can provide a great introductory 'ice-breaker' for you when contacting these production companies and indie artists. Your Familiarity Bio should consist of several hand-picked topics of the specific industry you find of interest. You may just want to select 3-4 to start and research the history and some legal cases involving each one and how they were resolved and highlight each one in short synopsis form or even one-liner listings on your separate Familiarity Bio sheet.

By marketing to these industry categories you can draft a message delivery pitch that legitimately adds two strong calls of action for your service.

One that you're saving them hundreds to thousands in processing fees by cutting out the middleman ie; the law firm that simply does the same tasks, The second is your familiarity of the industry you choose to market to. The Indie Artists for example do not have the budget to hire a full time legal staff so you would be saving them considerable money to perform the same services.

Two very good selling points if you draft your Ad Delivery strong enough. Those whom don't have the time and knowledge to do it themselves or the resources to hire a law firm, make you an excellent selection as you are offering a money saving credible alternative as a legal document preparer and service provider.

Just remember two things, this article is not etched in 'stone', it's meant to get you thinking creatively, and one of the most successful tactics in Advertising and Promoting, 'Sell Yourself and You Sell Your Business!'
