Legal Assistant Outsourcing for Small Law Firms
Small firms lose billable hours to admin. A dedicated remote legal assistant can take it over. Here is how.
Legal assistant outsourcing helps small law firms reclaim billable hours by delegating calendaring, client intake, file management, billing support and document formatting to a dedicated remote assistant who works in your practice management system under attorney oversight.
Tasks to delegate
- Calendaring and deadline tracking.
- Client intake forms and conflict-check preparation.
- File organisation in your document system.
- Time-entry review and invoice preparation.
- Formatting pleadings and contracts.
- Transcribing dictation.
Setup steps
- Grant access to Clio, MyCase or your practice software.
- Share templates and court formatting rules.
- Define deadline and escalation rules.
- Start with low-risk tasks, then expand.
