Law Firm Management is a complex process. Each firm is a different entity: in size, in hierarchy, in focus. One common element in each efficient and effective firm, however, is standards of practice or standard operating procedures (SOPs). Whether part of a new employee manual, integrated into your daily task system, or preserved in some other manner, SOPs provide numerous benefits to your firm. They ensure employees are performing work in the same manner. They provide benchmarks by which to rate employee performance. They help avoid pitfalls in file management which lead to claims of malpractice and poor client experiences. These SOPs can apply to each stage of your case from intake through file closure and apply to each level of employee in the firm, from legal assistant to paralegal to partner. Please contact us should you have any questions regarding drafting or implementing SOPs.

Student loan forgiveness is finally a reality, but not without controversy. Biden failed to achieve his campaign goal, and many borrowers will see no relief.

Please contact us if you need additional information.

President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced historic new steps to address student loan debt, which includes forgiving up to $20,000 for millions of borrowers and extending the payment freeze one final time until the end of the year.
