1.      Day-to-day staffing needs may be reduced.  There is no need to hire an associate to handle temporarily increased workloads. 

2.      You gain the insight of someone with twenty years of broad-based legal experience without the expense of associating or hiring a similarly qualified attorney.  Calls to “bounce ideas” are common and are most welcome.

3.      Profits increase.  Substantial authority indicates that your firm should bill these services as part of your professional fees and may include a margin of profit, as long as the total charges are reasonable and the practitioner maintains responsibility for the work. 

4.      Difficult deadlines are more easily met.  A primary complaint of clients is the failure of an attorney to promptly handle legal matters.  Outsourcing permits an attorney to focus on pressing individual needs of each client while still providing top quality motions, briefs, and memoranda in matters being litigated.

5.      You pay only for work performed with no overhead or continuing commitments.

6.      You may find that you no longer need expensive computerized legal databases.
