The Top 5 Tasks
Every Lawyer Should Delegate to a Virtual Paralegal
Time is a lawyer’s most valuable asset, but between client meetings, court appearances, and case prep, it’s easy to get buried under time-consuming, administrative work. The solution? Delegation.
Virtual paralegals are highly skilled professionals who provide remote support, handling the tasks that slow you down so you can focus on high-level legal work and client advocacy. If you’re constantly overwhelmed, stretched thin, or drowning in paperwork, it’s time to start delegating smarter.
Here are the top five tasks every lawyer should hand off to a virtual paralegal to work more efficiently, reduce stress, and increase profitability.
Document Drafting and Review
Legal documents are the backbone of every case, but drafting and reviewing them? That’s a serious time drain. Contracts, pleadings, discovery responses—these documents require precision and legal accuracy, but they don’t need to be prepared by you.
A skilled virtual paralegal can:
- Draft and format legal documents, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
- Review and proofread for errors, inconsistencies, or missing information.
- Save hours of work by handling routine filings, contracts, and legal correspondence.
Instead of spending late nights finalizing a motion or double-checking an agreement, let a virtual paralegal handle it so you can focus on strategy and case preparation.
How ACD Legal Support Helps: Our experienced virtual paralegals draft and review documents to match your firm’s standards, style, and compliance requirements.
Legal Research
Legal research is critical but time-consuming. Whether you’re analyzing case law, searching for relevant statutes, or reviewing regulatory guidelines, research takes hours—often cutting into billable time. A virtual paralegal can handle this legwork so you don’t have to.
A virtual paralegal can:
- Conduct case law research using tools like Westlaw and LexisNexis.
- Prepare detailed legal summaries tailored to your case strategy.
- Identify relevant statutes, regulations, and precedents without wasting your valuable time.
How ACD Legal Support Helps: Our team of skilled researchers finds the most relevant, up-to-date legal information so you can build strong legal arguments—without getting lost in the details.
Client Communication and Follow-Ups
Keeping clients informed is non-negotiable, but responding to emails, scheduling meetings, and providing case updates shouldn’t take up half your day. Virtual paralegals ensure clients receive the communication they need—without pulling you away from pressing legal work.
A virtual paralegal can:
- Respond to routine client inquiries and status update requests.
- Schedule consultations, court appearances, and depositions.
- Follow up with clients to ensure they’ve completed necessary paperwork.
How ACD Legal Support Helps: We handle professional, timely client communication so your clients feel supported—without overwhelming your schedule.
Case Management and Organization
Case deadlines, filings, discovery schedules—managing it all without a system in place is a recipe for disaster. Virtual paralegals keep your cases organized, ensuring you never miss a deadline, lose a document, or scramble before a court appearance.
A virtual paralegal can:
- Set up and maintain well-organized digital case files.
- Track critical deadlines and send reminders so filings are on time.
- Manage case checklists and keep discovery materials organized.
How ACD Legal Support Helps: Our paralegals ensure seamless case management so you can focus on building strong legal strategies instead of chasing paperwork.
E-Discovery and Document Review
With legal cases producing more electronic documents than ever, e-discovery is no longer optional—it’s essential. Sorting through emails, contracts, and digital files takes serious time, but a virtual paralegal can sift through the data for you.
A virtual paralegal can:
- Identify, sort, and categorize large volumes of electronic documents.
- Flag key documents for review and case preparation.
- Streamline e-discovery workflows, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
How ACD Legal Support Helps: Our paralegals handle data-heavy document review, helping you focus on analyzing the key findings instead of sifting through endless files.
