Helping law practices succeed

Running a successful law practice can be challenging. Hiring additional help or using legal recruiters can be time consuming, costly, and risky. By posting legal projects instead of hiring temp staffing or full-time help, you can avoid hiring risks and free up time for you to focus on what’s important to you and your law practice.

Project Work: The proven way to rapidly bring on more clients

Law practices now have the ability to find help from other lawyers without the risks associated with finding full-time associates, utilizing legal temp work groups, or hiring traditional legal recruiters. Attorneys and their law practices can quickly and easily find the specific help they need without any additional overhead or search time by getting support on a project basis with online on-demand lawyers. You’ll enable your law practice to take on more work, more profit, and less stress than ever before.
Use the hours you free up to get more clients, take time off, or take care of other critical items for your practice.

EFFICIENCY, MORE PROFITABILITY, AND LESS RISK

You’ll be able to cut overhead expenses you’d otherwise spend on an employee or because you won’t have to spend valuable time finding work for an associate during non-peak times just for the purpose of hourly billing requirements. Plus, project lawyer billing can be done at a competitive hourly rate and often still remain well below your own rate as an experienced lawyer. This will allow you to offer your services a lower rate to your clients for work that can be done by project lawyers, while being able to conveniently supervise the work being completed for you. It’s a win/win situation for the legal profession and legal staffing.
