Adding value to your solo law practice with a virtual paralegal

Adding value to your solo law practice or law firm through utilizing the services of a virtual paralegal is the topic of this blog post.

The legal profession is a constantly evolving practice. The increased work requires more and more of an attorney’s time. Virtual paralegals are one resource that a growing number of solo attorneys and law firms are utilizing. Paralegals working as virtual contractors are available for short or long-term projects depending on the needs of a client. Most virtual paralegals have a wide range of experience allowing them to assist attorneys on a variety of projects. For example I have worked in California and Federal litigation since 1995 in many diverse areas of the law and have collected unpaid California Court judgments since 1992.

Utilizing a virtual paralegal has several major benefits which I will list below.

NO training costs!

NO unemployment taxes!

NO Social Security taxes!

NO Worker’s Compensation Insurance!

NO sick time or vacation pay!

NO retirement or health plans!

NO more paying for idle time!

NO workspace issues!

NO overtime!

Because a virtual paralegal career covers a variety of different assignments, they aren’t necessarily restricted to specific work environments. Many paralegals prefer to work from home. Lawyers who work on their own or who have started new offices find the extra support offered by virtual paralegal employment quite helpful. It can be expensive to hire paralegal work, especially if there isn’t enough work to keep the paralegal busy all the time.

Even in a fully staffed office, there are times when unplanned employee absences result in a backlog of work. A virtual paralegal can provide the necessary coverage without a large commitment. The great thing about virtual paralegals is that they often have years of experience that can be a huge asset to any attorney or law office. With the use of modern technology a freelance paralegal does not even need to travel to a lawyer’s office as documents can be scanned and e-mailed to them, or can be uploaded to a file storage site or the increasingly popular “cloud” sites. This frees up billable time, makes good use of an attorney’s time and adds value to their practice.
