How to Run A Profitable HomeBased Law Office
1. Get a professional address â—? A cheap and easy solution to this would be to sign up for a virtual office. When renting a virtual office from a provider who offers reception services as part of the package, your clients can go to the suite to drop off packages, and the law firm can receive service of process, mail and hand deliveries, whether the attorney is physically present in the office or not.
2. Consider a Virtual Office in an executive suite as second work location ● Your home office may be perfectly adequate to roll up your sleeves and do the “dirty work” of a legal practice (drafting, legal research, telephone negotiations), but meeting clients, employees or adversaries in your home may not be practical.
3. Set a schedule and share it ● Interruptions are productivity killers. When you work from home, your family and friends can be the most frequent sources of interruption. ● Explain when you’ll be working. Describe how you work best: Whether that’s “You’re free to check in with me from time to time”
4. Eliminate distractions â—? If you want to work from home while also being productive, then you will have to eliminate as many distractions as possible. â—? If you really need to focus, try using a conference room or workspace at Law Firm Suites and turn off my phone and internet.
5. Don’t meet clients at a coffee shop ● Temporary meeting room rentals offer home-based law firms a low-cost alternative to meeting in an unprofessional and potentially unethical location such as a coffee shop. ● This allows the law firm to make the best impression with the lowest financial outlay. And more importantly, will help you to close more deals!
6. Get Dressed ● Whenever you work from home, one of the first things you should do it change out of those pajamas and put on some work clothes. ● Even if you don’t have a client yet. There are plenty of things that need to be done each day. Getting in the right mindset will help you tackle them.
7. Get the right equipment ● On the digital side, make sure you’re using a good practice management software, CRM and online marketing tools. These will all help your practice to grow and run smoothly. ● When it comes to physical items, no matter what else you do, invest in a good computer, a good phone, and a comfortable and ergonomically correct chair.
