For many legal businesses, automation may feel like a harder-said-than-done proposition. But, a lot of repetitive, rules-based jobs are perfect for automation and freeing attorneys to focus on client facing tasks and strategic actions that generate revenue.
Legal practice automation offers a variety of benefits. It lets attorneys concentrate on what they are trained to do, enhances customer service and reduces the risk of human mistakes. But what may not be so evident is the savings in costs that can be realized.
In a world of the high cost of staffing and other costs, automating a process can mean that you don’t need to add more lawyers. This can allow small or solo firms to remain competitive on the same budget as larger competitors.
A good example is document automation. Instead of wasting time in meetings or emailing documents back and forth, legal teams can create and store templates for regular documents such as NDAs employment documents or privacy compliance documentation. Once a template is created, employees can then use their own self-service and create the document without the necessity for a lawyer to be involved, resulting in quicker turnaround times for clients and less effort for legal teams to rework.
Automating a legal workflow could give legal professionals the tools they require to succeed and increase efficiency. If you’re unsure of where to begin, you can keep an account of your daily activities for a week. This will aid in identifying tasks that could be automated. Then, look for technology tools that will allow you to automate these tasks. Introduce them slowly so that they don’t disrupt your daily work.
