What Your VA Handles
Your Legal Virtual Assistant in New York: Full Scope
Your legal virtual assistant in New York is responsible for the day-to-day execution that keeps your business running. At The Human Capital, we match you with a single dedicated VA—not a rotating team, not a shared resource—who learns your business, your systems, and your preferences deeply. They become a true extension of your team.
Here is what your legal virtual assistant handles on a typical week: Client intake and onboarding coordination, Legal document preparation and formatting, Court deadline tracking and calendar management, Case file organization and maintenance, and more. They are trained in the tools your business uses and aligned to your time zone, so real-time collaboration is always possible. Every task is tracked in Asana, with weekly progress reports so you have complete visibility.
Law firms and solo practitioners need meticulous, organized support staff who understand the stakes involved in legal work. Our legal VAs are trained in Clio, MyCase, and standard legal workflows. They manage client intake, prepare documents, track deadlines, and keep your practice organized so you can focus on billable hours. This matters in New York because A C-suite executive assistant in Midtown Manhattan commands $72,000+—before benefits, office space, and management overhead.
