How much billable time is lost in your firm just chasing down basic client information? For many small law firms in Gaborone, the client intake process is a collection of ad-hoc, manual steps. A prospective client's details might start on a Post-it note, get transferred to a generic Word document, or worse, exist only in the receptionist's memory. This approach feels manageable at first, but the hidden costs are significant. Inconsistent data leads to embarrassing follow-up calls for forgotten contact details or misspelled names. It creates information silos and makes it impossible to track leads effectively. Ultimately, it pulls lawyers away from high-value legal work and into low-value administrative tasks. What if your intake process was your first step towards efficiency, not your first bottleneck? It's time to build systems that serve you.

In my experience, both the local partner candidates and the firm opening an office must have a meeting of the minds on how rates will increase Day 1 and 1, 2, and 3 years out from Day 1. The local partners need a granular year by year understanding of how their standard rate will increase and a willingness to sacrifice certain clients relationships, for the benefit of the opportunity as a whole. The firm opening an office needs a granular year by year understanding of what the partner's effective rate will likely be, i.e. what rate increases will the individual clients actually bear.

😟 Does this sound familiar? Checking emails, coordinating schedules, preparing documents, following up with clients... necessary tasks, but ones that consume the most valuable thing you have: your time. ⌚ #VirtualAssistants #BusinessProductivity #LegalTech #BusinessManagement #DelegateToGrow #DigitalTransformation #YourTimeIsValuable #BusinessGrowth #EnlaZe
