I have worked inside a law firm, not just alongside one.

    Before Rellatech I worked as a legal assistant at a boutique US firm handling investment adviser compliance and cross-border matters. I owned the document side: collecting what was needed, keeping it organized, and tracking what was due so the attorney had complete records well before any deadline.

    That covered preparation for regulatory filings and audits, business entity and visa paperwork, and trademark applications. I did not give legal advice or sign anything. My job was making sure nothing sat waiting on our side, and that the file was complete when the attorney picked it up.

    A deadline with a financial regulator does not move, and neither does the standard for getting the details right. That is the habit I bring to a legal practice, whatever the area of law.

    Built for attorneys who are still their own office manager.

    Most solo and small firms reach a point where the caseload is healthy but the lawyer is personally answering intake calls, tracking deadlines in a notebook, and replying to client emails between hearings. I take over that layer so legal work gets the attention it needs.

    • Solo attorneys and small firms of one to eight lawyers.
    • Firms running on Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, or Rocket Matter.
    • Practice areas with steady intake: family, estate, immigration, employment, business, IP.
    • Firms where the paralegal is doing legal work and admin has nowhere else to go.

    Where I start, and where I go from there.

    An inbox that never gets to zero

    Client emails, opposing counsel, court notices, and scheduling requests pile up in one inbox. I sort, flag, draft replies for your review, and make sure nothing with a deadline attached sits unread.

    A calendar with no gatekeeper

    Court dates, client calls, and consultations get booked without regard for prep time or travel. I manage the calendar so there's breathing room around hearings, not just gaps to fill.

    Intake that loses prospects

    A prospective client fills out a form and hears nothing for three days. By then they've called another firm. I set up intake so the first response goes out within hours, not days.

    Documents scattered across three systems

    Discovery files, signed retainers, and correspondence live in whatever folder was open at the time. I rebuild the filing structure inside Clio so anyone on the team can find a document in seconds.

    Billing that falls behind every month

    Time entries get reconstructed from memory at month-end and invoices go out late. I set up a steady rhythm for time capture, invoice review, and following up on outstanding balances.

    No one tracking conflict checks consistently

    New matters get opened without a documented conflict check because there's no time to do it properly. I build a repeatable checklist that runs automatically when intake starts.

    Software I already work in.

    I'm not a lawyer and I don't give legal advice. I handle the administrative and operational layer around the practice, using whatever case management system you already have in place.

    Recent legal admin and ops work.

    Solo family lawyer, intake overhaul

    Replaced a three-day response gap with a same-day intake process: form submission, conflict check, engagement letter sent, consult booked, without the lawyer touching a step.

    Boutique IP firm, document rebuild

    Reorganized the firm's Clio document library with consistent naming so paralegals could locate any filing from the past two years in under a minute.

    Immigration practice, client communication

    Set up a recurring status update so every active client hears from the firm every two weeks, cutting down the volume of unscheduled check-in calls.

    FAQ

    Common questions from law firms.

    Yes. I worked as a legal assistant at a boutique US firm on investment adviser compliance and cross-border matters, handling document collection, organization and deadline tracking for regulatory filings and audits. I am not a lawyer and I do not give legal advice. The work was administrative, which is exactly what I am offering here.

    No. I don't draft pleadings, conduct legal research, or handle anything substantive to a case. I manage the administrative and operational side of the practice: inbox, calendar, intake, billing follow-through, and document organization.

    Yes. I work under a signed NDA and my access is limited to what the work requires. Client data stays inside your existing systems such as Clio or NetDocuments, under your own security setup.

    I've managed billing cycles inside Clio and MyCase for small firms before. I won't interpret time entries related to case substance, but I will make sure they're captured, reviewed, invoiced, and followed up on schedule.

    Family, estate, immigration, employment, business, and intellectual property. The administrative work looks similar across practice areas, though litigation-heavy firms need a different calendar rhythm than transactional ones, and I adjust for that.

    Pricing is based on the scope of ongoing support your firm needs. Details are on the Ways to Work Together (/pricing) page, and I'll recommend a fit after learning more about your caseload.

    Usually within a week of our call. I spend the first stretch auditing your current systems before making any changes to something tied to a live matter.
