Solicitors – Your client enquiries handled professionally & confidentially, by our legal industry-experienced receptionists

solicitors your client enquiries handled professionally & confidentially, by our legal industry experienced team

Imagine this scenario: you finally have your legal firm up and running but it’s becoming increasingly harder to manage your client interactions, all while handling court cases, documents, contracts…

It might seem counterintuitive to think about your business’s customer service and client satisfaction when your job and the main focus is to win your client’s legal battles.

Still, your potential (and existing!) clients have very high expectations when it comes to customer experience. They hate having to call multiple times, waiting on the telephone line too long or repeating themselves, and they sure hate when nobody is taking their calls or they have been forgotten, or when they run into an answering machine.

 

missed calls statistics

 

Statistics show that about 85% of people will not ring back if they hear an engaged tone, and they will quickly move to a competitor. (Vonage 2019)

Moreover, 60% of us would go with a competitor after just one bad experience. ONE! (Zendesk)

This puts a lot of pressure on the legal sector to offer good customer service as simply offering a good legal service and being exceptional at what you do is not enough to drive your client’s satisfaction, it needs to come in a package with the overall experience they have with your company that usually starts from a simple phone call that can make or break the interaction.

Simply put, customer service is a critical component on the road to success for the legal sector, and when it’s done correctly, it will boost your business to new heights.

 

The good news? You are not alone, and you really don’t need to do everything by yourself.

 

Outsourcing your reception and customer service is really easy, very fast to integrate and very efficient. You will seem more professional and you will gain more free time to focus on growing your business. Not to mention it costs significantly less than an in-house employee – you can save up to 80% on hiring costs – no PAYE, HR, equipment and holiday cover. All you need to do is to find the right outsourced customer service provider in the UK to suit your law firm’s needs.

At e-PA, we pride ourselves on having extensive expertise in handling enquiries related (but not limited) to:
