Advantages Of Hiring A Legal Virtual Assistant: What You Need To Know

Should You Consider Hiring a Virtual Legal Assistant?

A law firm is a busy place and features a wide variety of tasks that must be completed each day to ensure you are providing the best services for your clients. Hiring a legal virtual assistant can help you accomplish both with ease. By using a virtual assistant for attorneys, you free up a significant amount of your time, allowing you to focus on critical legal proceedings while your virtual assistant handles clerical work and other day-to-day operations.

Virtual Legal Assistant Services

A law firm virtual assistant can help your firm to become more efficient, scale more rapidly, and provide your clients with a better overall experience. Virtual assistant services include completing routine administrative tasks and improving customer service by managing client-facing interactions as well as and coordinating important meetings and deadlines. This could also include scheduling appointments, conducting legal research, writing contracts, and even accounting.

In short, a legal virtual assistant is essentially an extension of yourself and your in-house staff when it comes to handling whatever tasks you choose. As a result, what and how much a virtual paralegal does depend on your specific needs. Some of the legal services that most often use virtual assistants include immigration attorneys, family lawyers, workers’ compensation lawyers, and personal injury lawyers. While these are most common, they are certainly not the only types of firms that can benefit from employing a virtual paralegal.

How to Find Success Using a Legal Marketplace: Stories From Attorneys

It’s no secret that many attorneys aren’t happy in the traditional law firm model. Long hours with stressful and inflexible schedules make attorney burnout common.

Additionally, many attorneys have been caught up in the recent whirlwind of tech company layoffs, finding themselves looking for ways to bridge a gap between roles and create new income streams.

Attorneys can look to a legal marketplace as a solution to grow their burgeoning practices. Legal marketplaces connect companies with outside legal services, which include solo practitioners and small or boutique law firms (in addition to larger law firms and alternative legal services providers).

So what does creating a new practice utilizing a legal marketplace look like? Attorneys from many different backgrounds with all types of skill sets find success on Priori Marketplace. Here are a few examples of ways attorneys have recently used Marketplace to bridge career gaps, secure new positions, work more flexibly and more.

ProSearch is excited to share our DSAR Response Services at Legalweek!

A Targeted Approach to DSAR Response

The California Privacy Rights Act is now in effect. In addition to DSAR requests from consumers, organizations should now expect an uptick in requests from employees and ex-employees. Is your organization ready?

Under CPRA you’re required to extend the same rights to employees as you do other consumers, including:

  • Notice: Employers must provide notice of the collection of PII to their employees, job applicants, and contractors.
  • Right to access: Employees have the right to access the PII you’ve collected.
  • Right to correct: Employees have the right to correct any of their PII they believe is incorrect.
  • Right to delete: Employees may request the deletion of any of their PII in your possession.

ProSearch works with legal, privacy, and HR teams to manage the DSAR response process. Our experienced DSAR project team uses tried-and-tested solutions to identify and process and assess likely responsive data across the organization. After identifying and redacting sensitive data, we deliver a tailored document production, enabling you to respond in a timely manner.
