Did you know up to 40% of the time in a small law firm is spent on administrative work? And, according to the 2016 State of U.S. Small Law Firms Study 69% of small law firms report spending too much time on administrative tasks. What is even more surprising from the same study is that only 19% of small firms have implemented a change to address their administrative time burdens. That means a majority of firms are living with the pain.

Many firms are not addressing the issue because they either 1) don’t have time (because of all the time they spend on administrative tasks!) or 2) don’t know how or where to start making improvements.

If a large number of small firms aren’t addressing this issue, think of the competitive advantage your firm could gain by putting some improvements in place to address your administrative time challenges. How much more time could you have to focus on your clients, build new business or spend on activities other than being in the office all the time?

Do you need to reign in the time you spend on admin tasks? If so, a good place to start is by streamlining your matter management. Chances are your matters have many hidden administrative tasks that can be streamlined: client intake and document management, to name a few. This free matter management checklist helps you reconstruct and in some cases automate or even eliminate the actual tasks that take up your day.

Brief but bursting with good advice, this free checklist discusses best practices across nine essential areas of practice management and links to software and services that can help.
