Virtual workplaces are taking over in the post pandemic world, and law firms are no exception to the rule. Instead of lawyers coming into the office to get their case work done, more often firms are adopting the remote model to save on office space and rental fees.
Still, there is a need for an office, whether physical or virtual, to provide structure to the team. In addition, the firm needs to provide support to their lawyers, so they remain industry leaders and an excellent place for law professionals to work.
For this reason, it’s important for firm owners to offer a virtual law firm for their staff.
What does a virtual law firm provide?
Like a regular law firm, a virtual law firm provides support essentials. Staff may include:
- Live receptionists
- Legal assistants
- Virtual assistants
- Administrative assistants
- IT staff
- Paralegals
- And more
These professionals help manage the flow of the office, alleviate some of the time-consuming tedium that is imperative to creating a solid case, and keep the office moving forward in a productive fashion.
Just like the physical law firm, the virtual firm has staff at the ready to assist. In Chicago, the best virtual law firm options are all with Amata.
The Hybrid Model – Virtual Law Firm and Then Some
With Amata’s support staff, virtual law firms are able to operate without the need for rented physical space. That said, Amata offers flexibility in the form of day offices, amenities like conference rooms, and mail processing for your firm.
For firms that aren’t ready to fully embrace the remote structure and still need a place to convene on a semi-regular basis, options are available with Amata that allow for a mix of remote and in-person.
This is the hybrid option, and it’s an excellent way for traditional in-person firms and progressive, fiscally focused firms to split the difference and get features of both formats in one competitive offering.
Amata makes it possible to have your cake and eat it too.
Is a virtual law firm safe?
The biggest concern when it comes to taking things remote for legal professionals is how sensitive and confidential data is collected and shared. Hackers and opportunists abound on the Internet, and one breach of confidentiality could lead to disaster for a firm.
Amata provides a solution here as well. The virtual law office is hosted on secure servers that are maintained by IT professionals. With their staff overseeing the technological aspects of the operation, confidentiality is paramount, and your data is safe.
This should provide solace to both you and your clients with concerns about this very thing.
