For many legal businesses, automation may feel like a harder-said-than-done proposition. Automating many repetitive tasks with rules is a great idea. This lets lawyers concentrate more on client-facing tasks and strategic activities that generate revenues.
Legal practice automation comes with many benefits. It lets attorneys focus on what they are trained to do, improves customer service and reduces the risk of human errors. However, what might not be so evident is the savings in costs that can also be achieved.
In a world of the high cost of staffing and other expenses automation of a process may help you avoid having to hire additional legal staff members. This can help a solo or small firm stay competitive on the same budget as larger competitors.
Document automation is an excellent example. Legal teams can create templates for recurring documents such as NDAs, employment papers, or privacy compliance documents. Instead of spending a lot of time in meetings, and emailing documents back and forth, they can create and save templates. Once a template has been established, the team can then use their own self-service and create the document without the need for a lawyer to be involved, resulting in faster turnaround times for clients and less work for legal teams.
Automating a legal workflow can give legal professionals the tools needed to be successful and increase efficiency. If you’re not sure where to begin, you can keep an account of your daily activities for a week. This will aid in identifying tasks that can be automated. Then, search for tools to help you automate these tasks. Start slowly so that they don’t disrupt your work routine.
