How To Make Your Law Firm Practice Run Faster And More Efficiently

These may seem like somewhat basic tips but surprisingly they can affect the speed at which small businesses such as law firms operate. In today's firm, lawyers must be extremely fast- it's expected by the client who is looking for the most efficient handling of his case.


Top 4 tips to increase speed and efficiency

  • Cloud Storage: Storing data in the cloud greatly reduces the amount of storage space required on company PCs and physical space such as file cabinets and desks. Storing case files and documents in the cloud means that a firm can use smaller offices, thus cutting back on rental fees, utility fees, and other storage costs.
  • Embrace BYOD: Attorney coworkers, secretaries, clients, investigators, and other sources must be inconstant contact. Many times they all need to access the same files, which is why Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) can be an important factor. By utilizing this method, those who need access to case files, documents, photographs, and other important data, can access it all on their own device- whether it's a laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
  • Upgrade: Perhaps your firm won't embrace the BYOD movement. But if you're still using older, slow computers and laptops for your practice, this can greatly affect the speed at which work gets done. If buying new computers isn't in the current budget, try upgrading current computer hardware such as memory (RAM), hard drives, storage drives, and the network.
  • Replace Flash Drives and Email File Transfers With Cloud Services: By using cloud services for storing, creating, and transferring files, work can be accomplished much faster and more efficiently. Who has time to copy files to flash drives and physically give them to the people who need them when the same could be accomplished in seconds through Dropbox or Google Drive? Email is okay until you need to transfer large files or collaborate on files with multiple clients/coworkers/sources. Cloud services are the answer- for instance, Google Drive allows up to 50 people to view and edit files simultaneously.
