A Staff Away From the
Office Virtual assistants gain popularity among attorneys.
By Tina Dhamija
The term “virtual assistant” might be a new concept for the
legal world, but as technology continues to streamline remote
collaboration, the field is gaining a reputation as a new method
for solos and small firms to handle fluctuating volumes of work
in a quick and cost-effective way. LegalTypist Inc., a virtual
assistant service based in Long Island, N.Y., is just one of an
emerging group of virtual assistant agencies. Founded by Andrea Cannavina, a 15-year veteran legal assistant, now with Rivkin
Radler, LegalTypist began in 2001 and continues to grow as more
attorneys send work for completion outside their firms.
“Financially speaking, attorneys that outsource benefit because
they don’t have to pay for a full-time secretary when they don’t
have a consistent workload, nor do they pay employee taxes or
provide office space, equipment, software licenses or training
when they send work to LegalTypist,” Cannavina said. “Attorneys
also don’t have to worry about pay for holidays, vacation or
sick time, provide medical benefits, provide retirement or other
incentive benefits, factor in overtime pay or create and manage
an in-house word processing department.”

Services opened in 1989 with an idea that office support could
be offered off-site, thereby saving businesses time and money.
In 1989, it was not fashionable to work off-site ... today it is
commonplace, and it is called "virtual assistance".
I would
welcome the opportunity to become your "virtual" legal
team. Virtual assistance is the way of the future and the
success rate of virtual assistant (VA) teams is outstanding. If you have never worked with a VA, give
me the opportunity to
work on a small project for you. You will be very
satisfied.
In
keeping with Creative's business philosophy that all businesses
will
absolutely need a strong, efficient and professional virtual team,
the following are virtual businesses worth checking out.
