What Happens When Your Firm Hires More Than 2 VAs?

April 10, 2024

Your law firm owner’s odyssey should never be like the legendary Odysseus (also known as Ulysses) who could never control his journey. While being extremely witty and resourceful, Odysseus had to face many challenges by himself, without any assistance.

We’ve all heard the famous proverb “two heads are better than one” and it’s no secret why that phrase has kept its relevancy for more than 500 years, the reason is because it’s true. But let’s take a step further, what if there were three, four, or even five heads? (Without imagining yourself as a hydra, of course) the answer is – the more the merrier.

Now, let’s take a step back from history and mythology and focus on the subject at hand, law firm growth. Every business that has succeeded in the past usually follows a simple formula: a great leader + a great team = success. With this formula in mind, let me help you break down the reasons why larger teams are usually driving constant success and growth.

Building a more Efficient, Productive, and Powerful Firm

As a law firm owner, the formula you need to build the practice of your dreams applies just the same. You might be the best lawyer on the planet and the one with the vision to break the mold and stand out amongst the competition, BUT without a team to rely on, that pretty much amounts to nothing.

A notable feature of robust teams is how they facilitate streamlining many, if not all, of your operations, ensuring each task is handled by a dedicated professional. Quality speaks volumes, and with a capable team, you’ll be able to enable faster turnaround times and dramatically boost your law firm’s efficiency, productivity, and most importantly, profitability.

Maximized Work-Life Balance

According to numerous studies, the average solo lawyer bills less than two hours per day and collects closer to 1.2 hours of billable work per day. That’s only 15 percent of an eight-hour day. You just can’t spend your valuable time being a part of the administrative staff.

You can reclaim your valuable time and achieve a healthier work-life balance. Just imagine your firm and the productivity boost it would suffer after adding extra muscle to your operations… that certainly paints a pretty picture, right?

Embracing and Reaping Multiplied Benefits

Let’s say you have an in-house assistant, who is great at his job and helps you tremendously, but lately, you’ve noticed how the one who is close to burnout is actually your assistant. If a process works, it does not mean there is no room for improvement. Helping your team delegate is the next step to dominate every workflow in your firm. Your assistant can work as a liaison between newly recruited offshore talent. They don’t need to be in the office to learn all the processes needed to have functional and effective practice.

Furthermore, and most importantly, this allows you to scale your operations without breaking the bank.

You get a VA, and you get a VA, and you get a VA!

The heat is on, and virtual staffing keeps gaining relevance and more and more lawyers are starting to embrace the offshore model. In fact, did you know that the virtual assistant industry is projected to reach $10.8 billion by 2027?

Talk about a booming industry. Law firms’ growth nowadays is propelled by the increasing demand for remote work and the need for businesses to optimize their operations.

Now you know, the secret to accelerated and smart growth for law firms hides in the form of robust teams. With one VA you can expect good results, with more than two, you can expect GREAT results.

If you’re looking to fast-track your firm’s growth, consider the power of multiple VAs. Unlock a world of possibilities for your law firm and pave the way for sustainable growth and success.
