What is Concierge Filing?

Concierge filing is a specialized service where attorney service providers place court filing orders for their clients. With concierge filing, litigators can simply email their documents to their service provider rather than taking the time to submit their filings themselves. Their attorney service provider reviews (and in some cases prepares) and submits the filing on their behalf.

What are the Benefits of Concierge Filing?

Saves Time:

• Placing multiple court filing or eFiling orders can be incredibly time-consuming. For firms with a large caseload, physically placing such orders may end up wasting a significant portion of the workday. With concierge filing, litigators can sharply cut, if not eliminate altogether, the time they spend on placing their filing orders.

eFiling Expertise:

• There are no uniform guidelines to eFiling in the state of California. Each of the California Superior Courts has their own set of rules and quirks vis-à-vis eFiling. With concierge filing, litigators can take advantage of their service provider’s experience and expertise, reducing the likelihood their filings will be rejected on procedural grounds.

Increased Scalability:

• Concierge filing services can be scaled to meet every litigator’s needs, regardless of the size of their caseload. They can also help firms scale in turn by allowing firms to access the administrative support they need without incurring the overhead costs associated with hiring additional staff.

Customized Service:

• Concierge service extends to more than physically placing the order. It can entail following-up and diligently checking open access for filing orders or performing additional research / skip tracing parties for process serving orders. With concierge order services, firms can set the parameters as to how much administrative work they outsource to their attorney service provider.

The Future of Litigation Support

As the legal industry continues to evolve, the demand for concierge order services is only expected to grow. Litigators are increasingly recognizing the value of outsourcing non-core tasks to their attorney service provider. By taking advantage of their provider’s expertise, firms that use concierge order services can reduce their workload and decrease their costs, to say nothing of the visible improvements in their efficiency and efficacy in a state with disparate filing rules like California. For firms with an eye towards growth, concierge order service is an indispensable tool for success.
