Solving Your Law Firms Key Challenges How Outsourcing Can Help

Imagine your law firm bogged down by tried and tested practices that are no longer effective. Files pile up, usual tasks take longer than ever and your clients start to get impatient with it. You thought: ”Worst case, we lose our good reputation in them—but we could always onboard new clients, right?”. Unfortunately, these people have been searching online first, and you don’t exist there. So instead, your ‘trendy’ competitor is the first one they reach out to. You recognized these problems and decided to move processes to digital. But, it’s not a simple switch as you thought — you’ve heard stories of data breaches even in the world’s top law firms. If you migrate without solid data security, it won’t be long until your client’s sensitive data becomes a ticking time bomb. And your frustration with new legal software doesn’t end there. It’s supposed to make things easier, but your team struggles to adapt. You have the tools, but it requires intensive training. Not only does this lag you behind, but it hurts employee morale and productivity. So to save your team from this challenging transition, you’re looking to hire new staff already skilled in digital tools. This looks good on paper until the costs of recruiting and onboarding quickly add up. Worst, there’s no assurance that these new hires would mesh well with your firm’s culture or handle the workload effectively. You’re now back to square one: admin tasks still pile up, the team is overwhelmed, and competitors leave you behind. Reflecting on the time spent on non-legal and admin tasks, you realized: you’re taking your lawyers away from their dream: to win cases. You disabled the goose that lays golden eggs, and now your law firm is suffering. You’re in a deadlock. (This ain’t an overall good thing) but…you’re not alone. Many law firms are stuck with inefficient operations. Reports show that lawyers only spend about 2.3 hours of an 8-hour day on billable work. That’s less than 30% of their day on tasks that actually generate revenue. At the same time, the legal client base has been changing. At least 38% of legal service seekers start their search online. This digital dependency also aligns with their law firm expectations—69% of consumers prefer law firms that use modern client portals. So, most firms are now adopting new tech improvements (although it’s a struggle to get staff up to speed). Research showed that the learning curve is steep and law firms have less emphasis on adequate training. As an alternative to training employees, many firms consider outsourcing legal support services. However, a study found that hiring and managing remote staff on their own can be risky. A study found that companies with a bad hire reported $14,900 in lost income. Factors for these losses include turnovers, productivity dips, and legal compliance issues. Plus, data security has always been a big concern. Reports indicate that approximately 29% of law firms experienced some form of data breach last 2023. Some law firms don’t do something about it and they end up with: Frustration in slow, paper-heavy workflows. Clients flock to competitors’ digital services. Failing to adapt to new industry-standard tools. A data breach waiting to happen. Lawyers drowning in daily tasks, missing bigger wins. Sub: For those few who did not take any chances Main: They’re now living their law firm success stories. Insert graphics here to show (not only tell) the worst-case scenario of not doing something about these pains/problems. The graphics could be in a slider/carousel format and visualize these scenarios: Picture of a team overloaded with paper files/something that shows frustration in slow processes. Something that shows a lack of online presence in comparison to a competitor, wherein clients flock to them. Adding on tech upgrades but causing headaches because the team doesn’t fully know how to maximize them. It is not obvious, but in the background, is an always-present risk of data breach. (Waiting for the right time to bring everything down, until the management come up a solid security plan.) The boss could only hope it’s not anytime near. The boss is facing a group of applicants. But the applicants are wearing masks and then beneath it are the costs associated with hiring—recruitment, training, and the risk of poor cultural fit. The boss is unaware. A mountain of admin tasks. And then lawyers whose skills are used for legal battles are wasting time on this “daily quests” – then missing on the bigger wins.

The peg is like a “headline” in newspaper/TV or a Google Snippet layout. Basically, we want the audience to feel that if they “do the correct choice” then they’re going to be in these headlines, too.
