7 Key Litigation Support Tasks You Can (and Should) Delegate to Remote Paralegals 

“The most expensive paralegal in your office is probably you.  

If you’re redlining discovery responses at midnight, that’s not dedication. That’s poor delegation. Plus, your client doesn’t care who reviewed the medical records. They care about who wins their case. Get this straight; No one build their practice to be buried in tasks that someone else could do at half the cost and double the speed and attorneys who knows it better than you that “Time is Money”. 

Here’s 7 Key Tasks Attorneys Must Offload 

Task 1: Discovery Support & Document Management 

• Draft n Craft paralegals organize, tag, and code discovery documents for fast retrieval. 

• From interrogatories to production requests, every document is litigation-ready. 
  Benefit: Attorneys intervene only on judgment-heavy decisions, not file management. 

Task 2: Medico-Legal Record Analysis & Summarization 

• Complex medical records broken down into concise timelines, diagnoses, and treatment histories. 

• Example: 27,000 pages summarized in 25 days; 1,000 pages in 8 hours. 
  Benefit: Attorneys get actionable insights without drowning in records. 

Task 3: Drafting Legal Documents 

• Dedicated Remote Paralegals (DRP) produce draft motions, pleadings, demand letters, and discovery responses. 

• Attorneys refine strategy instead of formatting. 
  Benefit: Cuts drafting time by up to 50%, keeps focus on legal arguments. 

Task 4: Case Chronologies, Timelines & Specialized Reports 

• Paralegals create hyperlinked chronologies, gap analyses, and tailored reports (jury questionnaires, mass tort reviews). 
  Benefit: Prepares deposition-ready timelines and trial exhibits without attorney intervention. 

Task 5: Legal & Medical Research 

• U.S. law-trained paralegals provide memos, authorities, citations, and medical context summaries. 
  Benefit: Attorneys focus on strategy; research is precise, compliant, and immediately usable. 

Task 6: Trial Prep & Exhibit Management 

• Organize exhibits, witness lists, deposition digests, and settlement demand packages. 

• Medical summaries, billing reviews, and supporting documentation included. 
  Benefit: Attorneys walk into court fully prepared; no admin bottlenecks. 

Task 7: Case & Administrative Management 

• Calendar syncing, deadlines, file tracking, and task management handled natively within your systems. 

• DRPs work inside your workflow (Clio, MyCase, Filevine, Litify, SmartAdvocate). 
  Benefit: Maintains compliance, reduces mental load, and keeps your focus client-facing. 

Here’s a clear, attorney-focused chart showing the impact of delegation on productivity: 

• Non-Billable Tasks (48%) – The average time attorneys spend on tasks that could be delegated. 

• Delegated Tasks (30%) – Percentage of tasks successfully offloaded to remote paralegals, reducing attorney workload. 

• Billable Hours Increase (30%) – Approximate boost in billable hours for attorneys who delegate effectively. 

This visually reinforces the truth bomb: delegation multiplies billable hours while cutting non-billable work.
