Law Firm Business Systems

Law Firm Business Systems are the policies, processes and procedures you use to run your business.

Such systems range from a Client Intake Form to ongoing communication after the matter has settled and everything in between. Your practice management software is part of the system, but the software alone won’t ensure you run a profitable, more manageable business.

People work better, more efficiently when following proven systems. Yet the majority of lawyers allow systems  to be personality-centric rather than position specific. “Oh well that persons always do it that way, I know it’s not great but they won’t change.

If you catch yourself saying this or here other people in your business using similar phrases then you’re guaranteed to be costing yourself money. Not to mention a level of frustration and the potential impact on your clients.

All Law Firms have a cost of inefficiency that robs profit from your pocket. Hours are wasted through poor communication, incorrect action, overlap and missed steps.

A one partner firm with one employed solicitor, one support person and an administration person will rattle up over $80,000 in inefficiency very quickly. What’s it costing your business?

It doesn’t have to be this way! Relying on and managing through better systems will empower your team and generate profit.
