Outsource your Legal Administrative Tasks

If you’re a solo attorney working alone, you probably have a long list of legal administrative tasks you either have no time to complete or no interest in carrying out.

You may need assistance with managing those tasks from time to time, but do not have a need that justifies hiring a full or part-time employee. If this is the case, you should consider outsourcing your legal administrative tasks to a virtual legal assistant.

Advantages of Outsourcing to a Legal Virtual Assistant

There are many advantages to outsourcing your tasks to a virtual assistant with legal experience, including:

1. A legal VA is more cost-effective than a permanent or temporary employee.
You can save money by outsourcing the legal administrative grunt work. When you work with a legal VA, you are only billed for the time spent completing your legal work. You DO NOT pay for down time, social breaks around the water cooler, or time spent on social networking sites or checking personal emails.

2. With a legal VA, you can drastically lower your small firm’s overhead and operating costs.
Generally, when you hire an in-house employee you are not only responsible for his/her salary, but also for the office space, furniture, computers, training, software and office supplies they require. In many instances, you are also expected to provide health benefits, vacation pay, sick leave and annual bonuses. When it’s all said and done, the in-house legal assistant can end up costing the firm double their actual salary.

3. Legal virtual assistants do not require office space, furniture or equipment.
Legal virtual assistants are entrepreneurs. They work from their own offices and are fully-equipped with training, experience, office equipment and supplies. When you outsource to a legal VA, you won’t have a need for additional office space, furniture and equipment. You can continue to work from your home office as a solo attorney without having to increase your monthly overhead.
