Lawyers work hard. It’s simply the nature of the business. Practicing law is a demanding job that often requires long hours. Your schedule tends to be at the mercy of the court and the unexpected service of opposing counsel’s reply papers on a Friday afternoon can completely derail your weekend plans.
So it’s no wonder that many solo and small firm lawyers can become stressed out and depressed. Practicing law is, in and of itself, time consuming. When you add to that the additional time required to manage a law practice, it can be downright overwhelming.
That’s why it’s so important to run your law firm as efficiently as possible. Efficiency will save you both time and money, ultimately reducing your stress levels and allowing you to focus on what you do best–representing your clients. That’s also one of the many ways to becoming the happy lawyer you were meant to be. Streamlining your law firm’s workflow is undoubtedly one of the keys to a successful, thriving, enjoyable law practice.
