Virtual Law Firm •  No central office. The firm’s

attorneys work from wherever they choose (most often their home).

•  Use of SaaS apps to facilitate nearly every aspect of practice, including marketing, billing, client communications and document storage.

•  Also called a “virtual law practice.”

Virtual Law Office •  An “unbundled” office rental

arrangement. •  Firms get the business presence

and resources of a traditional office (an address to receive mail, a physical location to meet clients, conference rooms, receptionist and admin services, and temporary office space).

•  Low monthly fee (<$100/month), extra services paid for only when needed.

•  Attorneys work primarily from another location (home office or office in another city).
