• Establishing agency Needs. Making sure there is clear understanding of how files are expected to be handled such as any collection processes by firm prior to suit filling or not, etc.
• Technology. Technological upkeep is more necessary than ever to be properly equipped to handle files effectively.
• Cyber security. Attorneys are being targeted by hackers more than ever. Proper cyber security and cyber insurance is now a vital requirement for a high-volume active practice.
• Pre-suit review for viability. Ability and willingness to intelligently review proposed case prior to filing. This includes reviewing anticipated defenses, veto factors such as insolvency or valid disputes which will likely lead to a counter claim, or lack of assets to pursue post judgment.
• Relevant jurisdiction and venue. Attorneys need to be aware of all local rules and regulations regarding jurisdiction and venue. They need to advise clients regarding the risks and effectiveness of the lawsuit given this.
• Capacity for high-volume. Demonstrate the firm’s ability to handle a large volume of cases efficiently without compromising quality
• Timely filing and follow-up. Collection is a fast pace business environment. Attorneys need to be fast on filing a lawsuit and need to follow up as soon as a deadline has been generated.
• Record-keeping and documentation. All major pleadings and scheduling orders should be automatically shared with the collection agencies. Clients like to see progress, even the small updates.
• Post-judgment efforts. Attorneys should employ creative and proactive strategies to enforce the judgment and show persistence.
• Commitment. When you taking on a new lawsuit, it should be treated with care and attention.
  It requires consistent nurturing and cannot be abandoned without good cause.
