Founder and Paralegal of DeJure Paralegal Services
WHY CHOOSE US
Within today's legal industry, a significant number of small firms and solo attorneys operate under constrained budgets and often lack adequate support personnel. Some lawyers fail to recognize that there is a juncture at which handling all responsibilities alone incurs greater costs than hiring a contract, freelance, or virtual paralegal (which I refer to interchangeably). Here are seven persuasive arguments for attorneys to consider the employment of a contract paralegal.
Prevent Burnout
​It is a reality rather than a myth. Numerous attorneys face burnout, yet it is preventable. One should strive to live for personal fulfillment, rather than solely for work. If this appears unattainable, consider implementing changes immediately. Assigning suitable tasks to a virtual paralegal can significantly reduce your workload, allowing for a more balanced life beyond legal practice. This approach may ultimately preserve both your mental well-being and your professional trajectory.
Scalability
Scalability provides the flexibility to adjust the hours of virtual paralegal assistance based on your demands. Workloads can fluctuate, especially for attorneys engaged in litigation, who often experience more significant changes in their workflow than those in other professions. This makes the option of utilizing a freelance paralegal especially suitable for litigation practices, as you are charged only for the time you actually use, and only when it is necessary.
Profitability
Freelance paralegals act as a financial advantage for law firms. As independent contractors, they are less costly than traditional employees, allowing firms to bypass expenses such as taxes, benefits, vacation time, sick leave, and other related costs. Typically, firms charge clients double the hourly rate they pay freelance paralegals, leading to immediate profit from this relationship.
Client Acquisition
When lawyers are overly focused on fulfilling deadlines and keeping existing clients happy, they may fail to engage in activities that attract new clients. Solo practitioners and small law firms often face the ongoing challenge of dividing their time between legal duties and business operations. Both elements are crucial for the long-term success of a firm. By delegating certain tasks to a contract paralegal, attorneys can find a more effective balance and prioritize their time towards the most valuable activities.
Team Support
Attorneys sometimes find it essential to have a team. Even the most capable and efficient attorneys may require additional support and collaboration at certain times. The preparation for a hearing, mediation, or trial can prove to be a formidable task for a solo attorney or one with limited backing. Often, the perspective of 'another pair of eyes and ears' is invaluable for feedback, proofreading, strategizing, and ensuring mental stability during demanding times.
Client Attention
They appreciate receiving timely phone call returns, email responses, and updates regarding their cases, even when there are no developments. This is vital for ensuring client satisfaction, obtaining referrals, and establishing a solid reputation. Yet, do you have the time to manage this alongside your other responsibilities? A freelance paralegal can take charge of this important, though often disregarded, component of running a successful practice.
Peace of Mind
When faced with a busy schedule, one often experiences a lingering worry about potentially missing important details; deadlines might be overlooked; crucial meetings could fail to appear on your calendar; or there may simply be inadequate hours in the day to achieve the quality of work you wish to provide for your clients. You might assume that operating with fewer staff members is a financial advantage, but if the quality of your work diminishes, you risk damaging your reputation and heightening the chances of a malpractice claim.
Freedom to be creative
You will have the opportunity to develop your own voice, build your own brand; become an expert in your field; expand your practice; practice in the areas that are meaningful to you; blog, write, present, teach, or whatever your passion may be.
Take control over your life and focus on what you love!
