What do you like most about being an attorney?
Chances are it’s not because of your passion for pulling case files, scouring directories, preparing a packet for a hearing, or other admin tasks that take you away from the big-ticket items where you thrive.
Most firms provide legal assistants and/or paralegals to help absorb some of these smaller tasks so you are on point at all times and ready to do what you do best in the meeting or in the courtroom. Unfortunately, you may be missing out on that perk if you choose to operate independently.
Luckily, there’s a solution– Amata virtual legal assistants.
What can Amata do for me?
For local attorneys operating independently, you may be hard-pressed for the time between working on your current caseload, soliciting new business, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
When you’re reactive regarding the workload, it’s hard to be proactive towards scaling your operation and supplementing your success.
Unless you already happen to know a killer paralegal or legal assistant in the market for a new position, you’re tasked with vetting candidates and sifting through to find the perfect ones.
Amata already has you covered. By outsourcing your back-office functions to Amata, you get access to a wide network of support staff including paralegals, admin assistants, VAs, and other essential specialists that will help you stay on task and off of minutia.
What does a virtual legal assistant do?
Virtual legal assistants are able to help similarly to their in-person counterparts. They will assist in some legal duties but mostly focus on clerical responsibilities such as answering phones and emails, scheduling appointments, filing papers and documents, and other organizational functions.
Some may even transcribe attorney’s notes, helping a lawyer review with greater speed and accuracy. What’s more, is they can do all this while you work comfortably from home.
Your virtual legal assistant can do many things for you. Unfortunately, fetching coffee isn’t one of them.
On-Site Staff Too
If coffee’s the dealbreaker, you may be better suited for renting shared law office space at one of Amata’s locations.
