Benefits of delegation

Lawyers are often reluctant to delegate, concluding that are the only ones who will do things properly. This is a simple enough trap to fall into, however can lead to disastrous results such as fatigue, burnout, missed deadlines, mistakes, and poor-quality documents.

Good lawyers learn to properly delegate tasks so that they can focus on essential leadership aspects of their practice, increasing productivity and successfulness.

1. Eased work pressures & shifts focus away from minor details
2. Presents new and creative approaches
3. Frees up time for planning & organizing
4. Increased time for self-development
