Outside General Counsel for Law Firms | Ethics Advice, Legal Malpractice Defense & Holistic Law Firm Risk Management | I cram legal ethics into memes and movies for the People!
Friday Law Firm Risk Management Tip!!! - your admin backbone Invest in your nonlawyer staff. Administrative errors and client relations are the source of around 1/3 of all legal malpractice claims. Law firm owners are lawyers and generally they're going to be the most experienced lawyers on the team. Some are great administrators, some are terrible, and most of us are somewhere in between on that spectrum but law firm admin is not a DIY hobby. Run your law firm like a good business. Get the right people for the job. Those roles include: - Office Managers: Overseeing the daily operations of the firm, including administrative staff management, facilities maintenance, and office supplies. - Paralegals: Assisting lawyers by conducting research, preparing legal documents, and maintaining client files. - Legal Secretaries/Assistants: Providing administrative support to attorneys, such as managing schedules, drafting correspondence, and organizing files. - Receptionists: Managing the front desk, greets clients, answers phone calls, and handles mail. - Billing: Handling client billing, processes invoices, and manages accounts receivable. - HR: Managing hiring, training, employee benefits, and compliance with labor laws. - IT: Managing the firm’s technology infrastructure, including software, hardware, and network security. - Marketing/PR: Implementing marketing strategies, manages social media, and handles public relations. - Managing Clerk: Maintaining physical and electronic records and files. - Accountant: Managing financial records, budgeting, payroll, and financial reporting. - Client Intake Specialist: Managing new client inquiries, schedules consultations, and processes initial paperwork. - Project Manager: Overseeing specific projects, ensuring they are completed on time and within budget. - Facilities Manager: Managing the firm's workspace, including maintenance, security, and office layout. - Security: Protecting the firm's physical and cyber space from internal and external threats. The reality is that journeymen lawyers are a dime a dozen (ok, maybe $2.5 million a dozen), good administrators are simply NOT. As cost centers, law firm administration is often given a back seat to the billable attorneys but that approach must be inverted. #law #attorneys —— Want to know more?

To maximize profitability in law firms, proper management of assigned timekeepers is crucial. Balancing workloads and enhancing production efficiency are significant challenges for lawyers with extensive client portfolios. As attorneys scale their practice, delegating timekeeper management is essential. Effective credit sharing is vital, with timekeeper oversight potentially worth up to 20% of the reward system's credit. A lawyer handling client relationships and timekeepers could earn up to 40% of the system's credit. If no timekeepers assist on a case, all credit remains with the originator. Law firms often rely on individual partners to oversee timekeeper management, hindering uniform standards. However, centralizing timekeeper management is essential for maintaining profitability and ensuring fair compensation, especially with the increase in remote work and legal complexity. If you're looking to improve your law firm's compensation strategy, PerformLaw can help: https://hubs.li/Q02HQ5ps0.
