Finding "the one"....

When I set up my business, it was apparent to me that I should stick with what I know, working with legal professionals. Formatting, presenting and the terminology of the legal world comes as second nature to me, using the “tramlines” on court documentation I don’t even think about and italicising certain references too, also standard for me.

But recently, I have seen others in my position offering to work and support Solicitors and Barristers with no previous experience or knowledge within the legal industry.

It makes no sense, why get a plumber to do an electricians work?

All Virtual Assistant’s have their own expertise which they excel in, mine is the legal stuff.

I just hope that any legal professional using someone without a certain level of experience has the time to train them in everything I already know. Surely this defeats the purpose?!

Choosing the ‘right’ VA is imperative, as we’re a team member, a ‘right’ hand man so to speak. Talk to them, meet them if you can or have a skype so you can get a better idea of how they tackle their work or meet deadlines. Please just don’t select a VA as they were the first one you have come across or because they were the cheapest. Like most things in life, pay peanuts and you end up having monkeys do the work.

Communication is key regardless of the work being provided on a remote basis.

Just a few pointers and my thoughts on choosing a VA!
