Why Use a Virtual Paralegal?
Oftentimes, especially in today’s economy, sole practitioners and law firms of all sizes find themselves facing unpredictable workloads. Either there is an overabundance of work with countless deadlines to reach or a sluggish, sporadic workload. Whether you need to outsource work occasionally or require ongoing assistance, a virtual paralegal support team is an invaluable asset that will come to the rescue and help overburdened attorneys or understaffed firms manage their caseloads and maximize their billable hours. In addition to being a simple, efficient and convenient way to get the job done, utilizing the services of a virtual paralegal can increase firm profitability while also cutting costs. Because a contract paralegal is not a traditional employee, the firm has no responsibility to provide the paralegal with insurance, benefits, training, office space or office equipment. Your firm does not pay the virtual paralegal for idle time during slow periods or overtime during periods of heavy volumes of work. Your virtual paralegal comes with the knowledge and expertise to get the job done right, the first time, and you only pay for precisely that. As with a traditional employee, all work performed by the virtual paralegal is billable to your client at your agreed upon rate, thereby generating a significant profit for your firm.
