Legal administrators can cost upwards of $100,000 per year. Executive directors (another title for legal administrator) at large firms command a $250,000 annual salary. Small firms need an experienced administrator but can’t afford big law administrators. For a fraction of the cost, you can hire a seasoned administrator for your firm.

We hear this a lot from law firm managing partners, but we have helped many firms transition to a remote workforce. A fractional legal administrator can provide full-time service, without the full expense. This saves you money on space, equipment, insurance and payroll dollars!
