Why South Africa for Legal Support
South African law is based on English Common Law. This is the same system used in the US, UK, and Australia. Your remote staff already understand the basic legal concepts you use every day.
They are highly educated. Most have an LLB degree (Bachelor of Laws). They are serious professionals looking for a career, not just a temporary gig.
Data privacy is strict. South Africa's POPIA law is modeled on the EU's GDPR. They understand confidentiality and take it seriously.

How to Manage Your Legal Assistant
Good management protects your license and boosts your revenue. Follow these rules.
Use Secure Portals
Never email sensitive data. Give them access to your secure practice management software. Limit their permissions to what they need.
Delegate Research First
Don't spend your time looking up case law. Have them do the initial research and write a summary. You just review it.
Review Every Draft
They are assistants, not attorneys. You must review and sign off on every document they draft before it leaves the office.
Include Them in Meetings
Let them listen to client calls (with permission) to take notes. It helps them understand the case context and write better drafts.
Track Time Strictly
Have them track every minute. Their work is often billable as paralegal time. This pays for their salary many times over.
