While you know that the legal services you provide for clients generate great volumes paperwork and involve countless administrative tasks, you might be surprised to learn the average small firm lawyer can spend up to 12 hours per week on administrative tasks alone.
Unfortunately, small firms typically struggle with inefficiency due largely to a lack of resources. A limited staff can only accomplish so much in a day, but what if you could do more with less?
A Firm’s Success is Tied to the Software It Uses
Harnessing modern technology is undeniably the most efficient way for small law firms to create lasting positive change and the best type of technology is practice management software. However, not all software is equally efficient. To achieve the best results, software must be an all-in-one solution. Your firm’s success is inextricably tied to the software that you use.
A mishmash of different programs is an efficiency killer for your firm. Information spread over multiple databases is not only inefficient and costly, but also leads to inaccuracies and frustration for you, your staff and clients.
The best software to deliver maximum efficiency for managing your practice will handle all your critical daily tasks including:
- Matter management
- Workflow control
- Automated forms & templates
- Document management
- Time recording & billing
- Trust accounting
Small law firms that flourish and increase profits are those that use intuitive, integrated software that:
- Drives efficiency so that the firm spends less time on unbillable, administrative tasks, allowing staff to focus on billable work.
- Reduces Overhead – Remember, several cheap software programs can quickly add up to one expensive mess.
- Provides a competitive advantage – A firm that uses antiquated, clunky software cannot compete with firms using streamlined technology. Great software empowers the firm to provide clients with a higher level of service.
- Attracts the best talent – Inability to adapt and use modern technology could hurt your firm’s chances of attracting the best lawyers and staff.
