01
Admin eats into billable hours
Answering intake calls, scheduling depositions, filing documents, and chasing down opposing counsel, the operational load pulls you away from the work clients are actually paying you for.
Fractional talent · Legal
Your caseload is growing. Your back office shouldn't hold you back
Solo attorneys and small firms lose billable hours to admin work every week: client intake, court scheduling, filing follow-up, and document management. Nacho's US-based fractional talent handles the operational side so you can focus on practicing law.
What does a Virtual Assistant do for lawyers and law firms?
Nacho matches lawyers and law firms with vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistants and Specialists who own the recurring work week after week, not one-off tasks. You start with a $300 Delegation Strategy Plan, set a monthly Talent Budget from $1,000, and we match you in about a week.

The challenge
Common challenges for lawyers and law firms
02
Client intake is inconsistent
When intake depends on whoever answers the phone, potential clients fall through the cracks. A structured intake process means more consultations booked and fewer leads lost.
03
Court deadlines don't forgive missed details
Statute of limitations, filing deadlines, and court appearances require airtight calendar management. One missed date can mean malpractice exposure.
04
You can't afford a full-time hire yet
A paralegal costs $45K-65K+ per year before benefits. Fractional support gives you the help you need at a fraction of the cost, with the flexibility to scale as your practice grows.
How it works
How Nacho supports lawyers and law firms
Nacho pairs you with fractional talent who understand legal workflows. Your onboarding starts with a Delegation Strategy Plan where your Client Success Manager maps out exactly which tasks to hand off first: typically intake, scheduling, and email management. Your EA or Specialist integrates with your existing tools (Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther) and handles day-to-day operations while you focus on client work and courtroom preparation.

SharePoint What we've learned
What we've learned working with lawyers and law firms
Running a law practice means juggling two businesses: the legal work itself and the business of running a firm. Most attorneys went to law school to practice law, not to manage calendars, chase down filings, or post on LinkedIn. The firms that grow efficiently are the ones that delegate early, not when they're drowning, but before. Whether you're a solo practitioner handling immigration cases or a boutique firm managing personal injury, the operational needs are similar: reliable intake, organized files, timely communication, and consistent follow-up.
We've worked with lawyers and law firms including Advantage Evans, La Firma Inmigrantes Primero, Rupal Law.

Good questions
Frequently asked questions
Can a fractional EA handle confidential legal work?
Nacho's US-based professionals understand the importance of client confidentiality and can sign NDAs. They support legal workflows including case file organization, client intake, and scheduling. For tasks requiring legal expertise, your team knows when to escalate to the attorney.
What legal software does Nacho work with?
Our team has experience with Clio Manage, MyCase, PracticePanther, PACER, and standard tools like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. We adapt to your existing stack rather than asking you to change.
How does Nacho compare to hiring a paralegal?
A full-time paralegal costs $45,000-$65,000+ per year plus benefits and overhead. Nacho starts at $1,000/month with no benefits to manage and the flexibility to scale hours up or down. You also get access to Specialists for marketing and technology needs a single hire can't cover.
How quickly can an EA start handling my legal admin?
After your Delegation Strategy Plan is complete (typically within the first week), your EA begins taking on tasks immediately. Most legal clients see meaningful time savings within the first two weeks as intake, scheduling, and email processes are handed off.
