You are answering for about 60+ different law firms on any given day. This means each call is unique. One second you might be answering for a criminal attorney that has a potential new client on the line. The next call might be opposing counsel on a case wishing to speak with the attorney.

Your first hire should be a virtual assistant if you're a solo attorney. That was not my first hire. I got incredibly lucky and my first hire is a wonderful woman who is smarter than me and has an opposite skill set. It's a long story of how we found each other and it was unconventional circumstances. Back to the point. Lawyers suck at business. I sucked at business. I'm trying to get better at business, and I am slowly but surely. Hiring a virtual assistant teaches you skills that you don't learn in law school and usually do not learn at a firm. It teaches you how to delegate and what to delegate. If you're doing $10/hr tasks like bates stamping documents, mailing envelopes, sending calendar invites, going back and forth with clients about times to talk, and even answering spam emails, you are stealing money from your company. My time is worth at least $300. That means that every time I'm spending an hour doing a $10/hr task, I'm stealing $290 from The Lacy Employment Law Firm.

Man, I miss Ted Lasso. When I was a lawyer, I never used LinkedIn. In fact, I started this recruiting thing with only 400 LinkedIn #connections.   In a little over two years, though, I have grown that amount to over 6000 #connections.   That's over 6000 opportunities for me to connect with someone that wants to #change their life. LinkedIn is a great way for an attorney, paralegal, or legal secretary to find a new opportunity through me (or my #connections - I often repost law firm job postings and occasionally even other recruiting agency's job posts). So build your #linkedinprofile.   Make #connections and accept invitations.    The bigger your #network, the more #opportunities for you and your #businessdevelopment.   #work #tedlasso #becurious #recruiting #askmeaboutyourmarket #linkedin #amlaw200 #amlaw100 #boutiquelitigation #insurancedefense #insurancecoverage #dallas #austin #houston #atlanta #nyc #worklifebalance
