THE MOBILE ATTORNEY LIFESTYLE
In addition to the virtual law firm’s business advantages, you also enjoy lifestyle improvements. The ability to practice from literally anywhere with an Internet connection means that, for certain practice areas, you can do your job exclusively from a home-based law office, if you choose. It also is easier for you to access online legal research outside of your core area of expertise, which makes you more useful to clients.
The downside is that you are always available, and carving out nonworking hours to recharge can be a challenge. The virtual law firm attorney can have just as difficult a time balancing work, family, and interests as the lawyer who commutes to an office.
