"Per my previous email..."

How many times have your paralegals received an email starting with that phrase because the CC list for a specific case hadn't been updated correctly?

To your client, it's a simple request. To your paralegal, it's yet another small detail to track among the hundreds or thousands of active cases they deal with.

Paradocket eliminates those embarrassing moments, automatically tracking CC requests and providing your paralegals with up-to-date contact lists for each and every case. All they need to do is copy and paste.

But what about billable hours?

Paralegals are a profit center, so why would you want to reduce the amount of work they do or even reduce the number of paralegals you employ?

Enter service-level billing.

It's not about the time spent on a project. It's about the result. Paradocket reduces the time a paralegal needs to do the same work, which allows them to work on more projects. Instead of billing by the hour, you can bill out "project management" at a fixed rate. Thanks to the increased productivity, your cost decreases, and your profitbability increases.

[FOR AMANDA] - Do law firms mark up their hourly rate for expedited requests like e.g. PwC did?]

Example:

The average paralegal spends x hours per patent application.

The average paralegal has a margin of x%. 

x hours @ $x/hr billing rate

Our plan isn't to replace. It's to enhance.

Our system is designed to work with you paralegals, not preplace them. Paradocket is here to enhance their capabilities and allow your firm to do more with less while increasing quality.

But could I replace paralegals with Paradocket?

Obviously, if you automate enough of a paralegal's tasks, you can reduce the number of paralegals in your firm. Then again, since you are increasing their productivity, you can add more tasks without needing to hire additional paralegals. Either way, it's a win. 

More to come!

We're just getting started. Our CC tool is the start to automating more of the mundane paralegal tasks. In the coming months we plan on rolling out integrations with leading docketing software providers and add the ability to automatically save emails to it and even draft replies.
