How a Virtual Law Firm benefits Clients and Lawyers

As the world continues to advance in all areas through technology, technology continues to become a part and parcel of each and every one of us. Our smartphones, tablets, laptops/desktops, etc. Usually have no rest in our hands because most things can be done over the internet. Ordering food, Making hotel reservations, business meetings, etc. And of course, the legal practice too, which is our focus here – Can all be done through the internet.

Legal practice has also advanced with the times and taken some, if not most of its activities online. Many law firms no longer operate from “bricks and mortar offices”; instead, they deliver their legal services through the internet, at a distance, to clients all over the world, as virtual law firms.

Accepting change is hard for everyone everywhere, even in the legal industry. While some might argue for the benefits of a virtual law firm, others might be resistant to the idea for many reasons – They fear that it may dent their productivity, efficiency, professional status, client confidentiality, and many other things. But before you decide to make a traditional law firm your preference over a virtual law firm, it’s important to understand the benefits of a virtual law firm.

Although a virtual law firm and a traditional law firm are set up and administered in the same way, there are certain benefits for clients and lawyers to enjoy from a virtual law firm.

• LOWER COST:

  Running a traditional physical law firm cost a lot of money. Renting space, buying furniture, office equipment, utilities, etc. This makes obtaining their legal services cost more money.

A virtual law firm has no need to rent out space for offices, and it definitely doesn’t need to spend a dime on furniture and office equipment. This makes their running cost lower, and in turn, their service cost. For a virtual law firm, not having to worry about office maintenance gives them more time, agility, and flexibility to focus mainly on their clients’ needs, and providing them high-quality services.

• IMPROVED CLIENT COMMUNICATION:

  For a legal practitioner, no matter how many languages you know, or how skilled and experienced you are, if you cannot communicate adequately and clearly with your clients, you won’t be able to meet their needs.

Virtual law firms have both the software, and the time to communicate with their clients whenever needed. Despite not having any space to host in-person meetings with their clients, they have the technology that allows them to communicate and stay up-to-date with their clients’ rapidly changing needs.

• EASIER COLLABORATION:

• A virtual law firm allows colleagues to collaborate faster, easier, and more efficiently with each other, even when they don’t share the same office. Virtual law firms use case management software to update clients’ case information in a shared virtual space (preferably on the cloud) that allows only the required colleagues to access, and work on it. Colleagues can also track their tasks, and deadlines with the case management software, making it easier for them to manage their work calendars, and automate their workflows.

This method guarantees clients’ confidentiality and ensures that you fulfill all of your obligations.

• WORLDWIDE ACCESS:

• This is one of the most important benefits of a virtual law firm. Being able to reach and attend to clients from places all over the world is a strong point for virtual law firms. Not just in communication – Anyone can communicate with people from the other side of the world, but virtual law firms do so much more than just communicate.

The primary objective of a virtual law firm is to provide legal services to clients all over the world. For clients, they get to enjoy high-quality services consisting of great customer support, communication, and solutions to their legal problems.

For lawyers, they get to experience smooth work processes, a great collaboration with colleagues, and the development of a large and strong client base.
