One of the greatest challenges facing many law firms today is finding and retaining qualified employees . In order to meet this challenge , more and more law firms are embracing offshore hiring options . Other firms are reluctant to do so , wondering if the culture and language barriers are too steep , or the potential management challenges too difficult . Whether and how to hire offshore workers has become a hot topic for law firm owners across the country and remains a subject of much discussion in PILMMA Mastermind meetings . But here is the good news : Many law firm owners are successfully hiring offshore employees and experiencing increased profits and productivity as a direct result of this hiring pivot .
In fact , several of my most successful Mastermind members are cutting employee costs up to 50 % simply by hiring offshore , and they are doing so without compromising quality or client service .
Law Firm Owners across the country are discovering that they can fill a host of needed positions with offshore contractors , or employees , in areas such as : Intakes , Medical Records Retrieval , Preparation of Medical Chronologies , Demand Letters , and Litigation Discovery , Video Editing , Graphics , Websites , SEO and more .
