The most common misconception among lawyers, especially small firms or those who are just starting out is: they feel the need to do everything themselves. Getting over this misconception by learning the art of delegating tasks is the first step to understanding how a Legal Virtual Assistant can make a bigger impact to your legal business. It’s not always easy to imagine how their support can transform your practice.

The typical mindset is that it will take longer to teach someone what to do than just do it themselves. What most lawyers don’t realize is the amount of time they’re cramming to get things done in a day is far much longer than training a Legal Virtual Assistant on tasks and areas of their business.

It’s time to stop multitasking and start delegating. Here are some tangible examples of the many ways legal virtual assistants can make a lawyer’s life easier.

Social Media Management

Many lawyers have adapted their practices with the new normal. Everything’s online. Legal VAs can assist with social media marketing along with graphic design and content planning.

With someone engaging regularly on social media, your accounts will grow and your firm’s brand recognition will increase substantially.

File Organization

A legal VA can take over this, too. Simply give them the details on how you like your files organized or give them the freedom to create a system that works better for you. You’ll be surprised by how creative they can get.

If you’re concerned about confidentiality, be sure to ask your virtual business services provider questions about how they plan to protect the privacy of your firm and its clients. Providers like VELP Staffing Solutions take confidentiality seriously. Of course, to be extra cautious you can always ask your legal VA to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Appointment Scheduling & Confirmation

This is an example of what seems to be a quick and easy task that you can most probably do yourself but eats into your time drastically. Let a legal VA take over to keep your appointments manageable.

Basic Legal Research

VAs being your superheroes, they can do anything even without a legal degree. These professionals are able to easily conduct a simple research before a project is launched to you.

If you think about it, anything that an in-office legal assistant can do on a computer (and phone), Velp Legal Virtual Assistants can do, too!

Phone Answering

The most common task there is. Answering calls after calls can obstruct your work flow and take away valuable time from important cases at hand.

If you aren’t available, your mind is at ease knowing that someone is going to receive your clients’ calls with an excellent customer service.

See, you can do all these things yourself. But what about the extra 5-10 hours you can divert into things that actually matters? Major legal responsibilities or even your personal life. Stop carrying everything on your back. Start delegating today with VELP Staffing Solutions.
