Lawyers can’t do everything themselves—and trying to may cost them time, focus, and growth. This episode explores how to delegate effectively, build trust with remote assistants, and focus on the work that matters most. In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Jaime Nacach discuss: Delegation and prioritization for lawyers Choosing tasks and roles for virtual assistants Training remote team members through shadowing Accountability, communication, and clear expectations Automation, global talent, and business growth Key Takeaways: Start by identifying the recurring work that consumes time but doesn’t need the lawyer’s expertise. Delegation works best when the responsibilities are clearly divided, rather than expecting one person to do everything. Invest time in training at the beginning; shadowing helps a remote assistant understand how you work. Measure progress by completed work and clear expectations—not only by hours logged. Don’t wait for everything to be perfect before launching; learn from feedback and improve as you go.
