Solving Your Law Firms Key Challenges How Outsourcing Can HelpImagine 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.
