Questions

What does a law firm virtual assistant do?

Administrative and client-service work: intake, scheduling, billing support, document admin and client communication. Substantive legal work goes to paralegals and attorneys.

Is it confidential?

Ask for confidentiality agreements, role-based access to your practice-management software and clear data policies.

Virtual assistant or virtual paralegal?

A VA covers admin and client service; a paralegal does substantive legal support. Many firms use both.
