Legal Virtual Assistant · English & Spanish
Legal Virtual Assistant Services for U.S. Law Firms
A bilingual legal virtual assistant who owns your inbox, calendar, client follow-up, and billing admin — so attorneys spend their day on billable work instead of scheduling and chasing paperwork.
Attorneys lose an estimated two to three hours a day to email triage, scheduling, client follow-up, invoice chasing, and file organization. At a $300 hourly rate, that is six figures of billable capacity absorbed by administrative work that does not require a law degree.
A legal virtual assistant from Bilingüe takes that layer off your desk permanently. Your assistant is a W-2 employee, trained on legal administrative workflows and confidentiality standards, and fluent in both English and neutral Latin American Spanish — so Spanish-speaking clients are handled directly, not queued for whoever in the office speaks the language.
Unlike a general VA marketplace, we do not hand you a contractor with a personal laptop. Your assistant works from a monitored Bilingüe office on company-issued equipment, under U.S.-governed confidentiality terms, with a supervisor reviewing quality.
What a Legal Virtual Assistant Takes Off Your Plate
Inbox triage & correspondence
Email sorted, prioritized, and answered from your templates — with anything requiring an attorney flagged and summarized.
Calendar & deadline management
Consultations, hearings, and internal meetings scheduled and confirmed; court and filing deadlines calendared with reminders.
Client follow-up
Missing documents chased, status updates delivered, and no-show consults rebooked — in the client’s own language.
Billing & invoicing support
Time entries cleaned up, invoices prepared and sent, payment reminders tracked, and trust-account records kept tidy.
Bilingual by default
Every assistant is fluent in English and neutral Latin American Spanish — written and spoken, not machine-translated.
Confidentiality-first setup
Monitored office, company-issued endpoint-protected equipment, least-privilege access, and $1M data-breach coverage.
