As virtual work environments are becoming the new normal, take advantage of the many benefits that a remote staff brings to your law firm. Save money on expenses like office space and commuting, and hire flexible virtual assistants who can give you an extra hand on an as-needed basis. You can then focus more on scaling your practice or taking much-needed time off.

Two essential virtual tools to incorporate into your law firm are Ruby’s virtual receptionists and Paralegals as a Service from NextChapter.

Virtual Receptionists with Ruby

Ruby is a growing company that provides small businesses with remote customer support via their live virtual receptionist offering. The receptionists answer phone calls and chat messages so businesses can focus on other important tasks. Their team is available to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Businesses can personalize the greeting each receptionist uses when answering calls, and they can then forward calls to you, take a message, or send the call to voicemail.

When you receive a message from a customer, you’ll be notified via text message, email, or app notification, whichever method you prefer. You can customize your plan based on whether you need help full-time or just on-demand. Ruby’s virtual receptionists are friendly and knowledgeable, so you know your business will be well represented.

Adding a live virtual receptionist function will ensure that your customers are always satisfied and get the answers they’re looking for, 24/7.

You can pay on a case-by-case basis or hourly to save money and still get the extra help you need to focus on other aspects of your practice. Working with a virtual paralegal will give you the flexibility you need to grow your business and create a more efficient practice.
