Managing a law firm is no easy task.

Between juggling caseloads, billing hours, and running the business side of things, it's tough for attorneys to stay on top of all the administrative/paralegal work required to keep the firm running smoothly.

Do these administrative/paralegal tasks keep you from focusing on high-value legal work?

Did you know that 65% of law firms are operating at or beyond full capacity? With the legal industry booming, attorneys are overwhelmed and overworked. (Clio's 2022 Legal Trends Report.)

You need support to keep up with demand while also providing excellent service to your clients… but how?

Virtual paralegals are changing the game for solos, small firms, and legal departments. If you aren’t yet leveraging these remote legal professionals, you could be missing out on major advantages.

This is where outsourcing to a virtual paralegal service like Knoxville Paralegal Services can help immensely.

What are virtual paralegals?

Virtual paralegals are legal professionals who work remotely, providing support to attorneys and law firms.

We perform key tasks such as:

Research
Document drafting
Case management
Document management
Discovery
Trial Preparation

AND we do so outside of a traditional law office setting!

Virtual paralegals provide more flexible and cost-effective services than in-house paralegals, which makes us an attractive option for small or solo law practices, here’s why ⬇️

What are the benefits of hiring a virtual paralegal vs. an in-house paralegal?

Many attorneys overlook the unique advantages of partnering with remote paralegals. Unlike hiring in-house staff, virtual paralegals offer flexibility, expertise, and cost-savings without the overhead.

Access To Skilled Paralegals, On-Demand

Virtual paralegal services (like KPS!) employ the best paralegals that are pre-vetted for their skills and experience. You gain instant access to top-notch talent whenever you need it, without the overhead of hiring. This level of experience means they can produce faster, higher-quality work.

Scale Up and Down Cost-Effectively

You simply pay a retainer rate, and you are guaranteed 10, 20, 30, or 40+ hours of paralegal work per month. This on-demand model allows you to cost-effectively scale up to meet project demands and down during slower periods. The burden of fixed overhead benefits and taxes disappears.

Focus Billable Resources on Complex Tasks

You can free your team to focus on substantive legal work while virtual paralegals handle administrative/paralegal tasks and document prep. This multiplier effect makes your whole firm more efficient and productive. Higher margins and realization rates follow!

Satisfy Clients with Consistent Support

Virtual paralegals can bridge time zone gaps and work hours outside of a 9 to 5. So you can deliver draft pleadings, research, and other support to clients on demand and at relatively any time. This responsiveness will leave a lasting impression on clients, building lasting relationships.

Gain Expertise in Specialized Practice Areas

Specialized virtual paralegal services offer targeted expertise tailored to your practice areas. Why train and manage these niche skills internally when you can access seasoned specialists on demand? It's a cost-effective way to scale expertise. Our paralegals have a variety of different niches, check out our team here for more specific information.

We're highly experienced, rigorously vetted, and cost a fraction of in-house staff. Don’t just take it from us, see what previous clients had to say here.
