This document defines and distinguishes between virtual law firm, virtual law office, and virtual legal services. A virtual law firm has no central office and attorneys work remotely using software for practice management. A virtual law office is a shared office rental that provides basic office services but attorneys primarily work remotely. Virtual legal services are services delivered exclusively online through software applications without in-person lawyer involvement.

Understanding the nuances of “virtual lawyering”
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.”

Understanding the nuances of “virtual lawyering”
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).

• Legal services executed and
delivered exclusively online

• Services performed by
attorneys and non-lawyer
online legal form companies.
• “Unbundled services”, client
performs some or all of the
services themselves with the
guidance of an app and the
lawyer intervenes on a
minimal basis, if at all.
