You understand that you could use some help. You’ve been working later, spending less time at home, and generally struggling to take on new clients because of the extra work. And you’ve considered getting some help from an International Licensed Attorney (ILA).
But there’s one thing that’s puzzling you and holding you back: What, exactly, would you have the ILA even do? That’s a valid question, and many lawyers struggle to imagine what work they could reasonably hand off.
That’s exactly why DocketWorks partners with you at every step to make that decision painless, simple, and intuitive. Here’s how.
Many of the attorneys we talk to like the idea of attorney-level help, but aren’t entirely sure how they’d use their ILA. This is especially true for lawyers who are used to handling everything themselves. When you’ve been doing everything alone for years, it can be difficult to separate administrative tasks from the heart of your legal advocacy work. It all feels the same.
That’s where our Customer Support Representative will step in. They’ll break down your practice, daily and weekly tasks, and schedule to help you decide where to use your ILA, what work to delegate, and how to hit the ground running with your support.
Because breaking down how you work and what you do can just feel overwhelming, we handle all of that for you. We’ll step in, take a look at what you’re already handling, and return with a comprehensive breakdown of tasks that you can hand off on day one, the time you can save, and the benefits to your growing firm.
Once, when I needed to create a chart detailing how I spend my time for a project, I had no idea where to start. I just… work. Like, almost every day. How do I break down the information into colorful squares or pie charts? For me, many work days are a blur of writing, editing, coffee, occasional trips to the backyard to recharge, and research. I had no idea how to pick apart or categorize any of it.
Maybe your work schedule feels the same way. You simply… work until you head home. You love your work, but have no idea how to categorize it. But the good news is that we have a team of specialists who’ve worked with attorneys for years, helping them identify satellite tasks (those tasks that aren’t client representation), pinpoint bottlenecks they didn’t realize were there, and see the benefits of an ILA in black and white.
Here’s how to think of it: you need your law degree for a few key things.
Everything else? You can delegate to someone who knows how to handle the tasks, is familiar with the law, is ethical and principled, and will take each project seriously. When you do this, work becomes simpler, and you finally have the bandwidth to flourish both professionally and financially.
I have yet to meet an attorney who doesn’t want to earn more and enjoy the work they do more deeply. And when you’re saving 10-20 hours per week (or more), your schedule becomes yours again.
Now, you’ve got the time for higher-value work, taking on more clients, and even branching out into new areas of law. You’re working competitively, efficiently, and with far more energy, too. Those are all wins.
Your ILA will come fully trained in your area of law, and because they’re fellow lawyers, they innately understand how serious these tasks are and how to accomplish them well. They’ve handled legal administrative work, represented clients, and gone to trial. That means you can freely delegate…
Schedule for less or more time as needed, anywhere from 10 to 40 hours per week. And if a specific ILA isn’t working well for your needs, we’ll replace them. You gain back time, mental energy, and the freedom to grow on your terms.
You’ll also be able to reach Customer Support 24 hours a day, get daily to weekly Customer Support meetings, and have access to a Business Consultant for added support with regard to scaling and growing, if interested.
It can be tough to break down the individual tasks that eat into your time. That’s why DocketWorks provides attorneys like you with comprehensive support to help you understand what to delegate, then partners you with an accredited, English-fluent fellow lawyer to help you win back time and scale more efficiently.
Winning back time, resources, and energy levels can be as simple as a phone call. To learn more? Reach out to Parke Parker for a no-pressure Discovery Call today.
