Ever since we’ve had rules to govern society, we’ve needed people to stand up and ensure that those rules are applied fairly and justly to all that they protect. Given these facts, it’s no surprise that many in the legal profession take great pride in their place in society and place a high premium on tradition and legacy.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everyday life in an unprecedented way. With several places across the United States bearing lockdowns and/or shifting policies as new developments arise, most (if not all) industries were forced to change the way they operate.

Lawyers juggle numerous tasks to keep their cases moving forward. They meet with their clients, conduct research, draft legal documents, and accomplish many other things. One of the most crucial yet time-consuming parts of their work is obtaining records.

When your law firm is just starting out or operating when the economy is down (like during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis), you may be tempted to do everything in-house to save money. The problem with this approach is that your staff may spend too much time on tasks that are either mundane or beyond their skill set.
