When most people think of a law firm, they envision it full of lawyers who are skilled and ready to tackle the judicial system. However, your lawyer is only one part of the puzzle.

Paralegals are critical to your law firm’s profitability and success. Their high-value tasks can directly impact the outcomes of cases and court performance.

Task delegation and efficiency are directly correlated to a law firm’s profitability. If you have highly paid employees, such as paralegals, spending too much time working on low-value tasks, the quality of the cases they work on will suffer.

As your law firm grows, it can be harder to plan for the capacity of your employees. Paralegals can become overloaded, and cases are bottlenecked when the workload increases.

Has your law firm’s profitability remained flat despite adding cases and staff? Law practices sometimes face this issue when their workflows and processes are not optimized.
