How to Run a Small Law Firm with Cloud-Based Software

April 12th, 2021

Cloud-based software is extremely useful when running a small law firm, but not all software is created equal.

You may think that because you run a small law firm, there is no need to use automated processes or cloud-based software. However, even though your practice may be fairly small, you still need to serve your clients in the best possible manner, and you and your staff will still need to bill clients, collect on payments, and perform other non-billable work. Cloud-based software can help manage all of these tasks regardless of the size of your firm.

Cloud-Based Software Can Help You Grow Your Client Base

There is a lot of work that goes into growing your client base. For every potential client, you have to engage with them and follow up with each inquiry to engage with the lead and grow your client base. Cloud-based software gives you the tools you need to not only streamline those processes, but to also help your law firm become more organized and market your services to an audience that has already shown interest.

Develop Your Brand

There is a reason many legal clients already know about the big names in your area. They have developed their brand and so, when people see their logo or hear their tag line, they know what to expect. Even though you are running a small law firm, you still need to develop your brand so clients recognize you in the same manner they recognize your larger competitors. Cloud-based software can help you do this by implementing consistent practices, including logos and other brand identifiers on every piece of communication, and more.

Prioritize Your Clients

Clients are the bread and butter of your business, and it is crucial that you prioritize them over everything else your firm does. Cloud-based software can help you do this by automating certain tasks so you do not have to perform them manually, and by freeing up certain processes so you can put your focus back on your clients.

Creating Procedures for Every Task

It is not uncommon for lawyers to leave a larger firm to start their own and soon become overwhelmed by the immense amount of trivial work that must be completed. Creating a system within cloud-based software for any task you perform more than once can make it easier to delegate and repeat when the task has to be performed again. This system will help ensure neither you nor your staff makes missteps and that everything remains consistent. Systems within cloud-based software can also help when onboarding new staff and cross-training staff within your practice.
