If you’re wondering how to manage a small law firm effectively, you’re not alone. Managing a small firm poses unique challenges to legal professionals compared to Big Law, where admin staff performs many of the day-to-day tasks. In most smaller firms, those admin tasks fall on the shoulders of the attorneys and paralegals. This takes time away from billable and direct client work to be the “chief, cook, and bottle washer.”
