The Pros and Cons of Virtual Law Firms

In this episode, I share the pros and cons of running a virtual law firm based on my own experience with this style of practice.

When I first started my firm in 2008, I wanted the flexibility to work wherever and whenever I needed to, so I didn't invest in a fancy office space. All I needed was my laptop and an internet connection. As my solo-practice became a small team that continued to grow over the years, I still maintained my virtual roots. After 11 years, I now run a quasi-virtual law firm, with attorneys working remotely and support staff in a small office.

Here are the pros and cons of virtual law firms that I learned over a decade of running and growing my practice.

Pros of Virtual Law Firms:
1. Physical location is flexible
2. Lack of commute
3. Flexible schedule
4. Keeps you tech savvy
5. Access to world-wide talent

Cons of Virtual Law Firms:
1. Emotional disconnect
2. Lack of team unity
3. Support staff management
