Understanding the nuances of “virtual lawyering”
Virtual Law Firm
•  No central office. The firm’s
attorneys work from wherever
they choose (most often their
home).
•  Use of SaaS apps to facilitate
nearly every aspect of practice,
including marketing, billing,
client communications and
document storage.
•  Also called a “virtual law
practice.”

Understanding the nuances of “virtual lawyering”
Virtual Law Office
•  An “unbundled” office rental
arrangement.
•  Firms get the business presence
and resources of a traditional
office (an address to receive mail,
a physical location to meet
clients, conference rooms,
receptionist and admin services,
and temporary office space).
•  Low monthly fee (<$100/month),
extra services paid for only when
needed.
•  Attorneys work primarily from
another location (home office or
office in another city).

Virtual Law Firm
Virtual Legal Services
• Legal services executed and
delivered exclusively online
using SaaS applications.
• Services performed by
attorneys and non-lawyer
online legal form companies.
• “Unbundled services”, client
performs some or all of the
services themselves with the
guidance of an app and the
lawyer intervenes on a
minimal basis, if at all.
