One of the biggest priorities for your practice is continued growth. But as a modern attorney, you have a lot to manage on a day-to-day basis, and you may not be giving growth the attention it deserves.

 

According to the 2019 Clio Legal Trends Report, 76% of attorneys say they’re overworked. By getting help from a virtual paralegal, you can free up a lot of your time so you’re not spending hours on administrative tasks like paperwork.

 

Here are considerations about how to stand out to new clients and why Paralegal as a Service can help you grow.

 

 

What clients look for in a lawyer

First, it’s important to think through what attracts new clients. The same report from Clio shows that 82% of clients care about timeliness and 81% want a response to all of their questions. This means you need to be putting client communication first. Meet your clients where they are with communication techniques like texting, so they can always stay in touch. Not all law firms offer texting, so doing so will help you stand out.

 

The report also found that 76% of clients want to have a clear sense of how much their legal issue will cost them. This is where you can be more transparent than your competitors. Showcase your fees and cost structure online so clients don’t have to guess what they will have to pay.

 

Clients also want their attorneys to be tech-savvy. Use an online platform like NextChapter that will help both you and your clients track the progress of the case and implement helpful case management tools like checklists and scheduling.
