Fractional and contract attorneys, paralegals, contract administrators and legal assistants for law firms and in-house legal teams. Every candidate is screened by a LawStaff recruiter and video-interviewed, and works on our payroll while they're with you.
Every search starts with two questions: how long is the need, and how many hours a week? The answers pick the arrangement.
| Arrangement | Good for | Schedule | Whose payroll | How you pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fractional | Steady legal work that isn't a full-time job: a fractional GC, a contracts attorney two days a week, a paralegal for one practice group | A set number of hours each week or month, ongoing | LawStaff Group's | One hourly rate for the hours you approve |
| Contract & Temp | A trial, a leave, a backlog, a special project, or a seat to cover while you search | Full or part time, from a single day to several months | LawStaff Group's | One hourly rate for the hours you approve |
| Temp-to-Hire | Seeing someone's actual work before you make an offer | Usually full time | Ours first, then yours when you hire them | One hourly rate until they join your staff |
| Direct Hire | A permanent seat you're ready to fill now | Permanent, full or part time | Yours from day one | Placement terms agreed before the search, backed by our replacement guarantee |
Every arrangement comes with a LawStaff recruiter, a recorded video interview for each candidate we send, and references checked, with bar admissions confirmed for attorneys.
Law firms bring us in when the caseload gets ahead of the team: a trial date, a stack of new files, an associate on leave. Companies bring us in when legal work is steady but not yet a full-time job, or when the legal department needs another pair of hands.
Either way, a LawStaff recruiter learns the work first. For every search we build a screening questionnaire with your input, and each candidate we send comes with their answers, a recorded video interview, checked references and confirmed bar admissions.
On fractional and contract work, the attorney is on our payroll. You direct the legal work; we handle pay, employer taxes and insurance.
Need support staff too? Paralegals, contract administrators and legal assistants →
An experienced attorney who handles your company's legal work for a set number of hours each week or month: commercial contracts, employment questions, risk, board matters and coordinating outside firms.
A fit for companies that have outgrown calling outside counsel matter by matter, but don't yet have the volume for a full-time general counsel.
Attorneys admitted in your state to take depositions, cover hearings, draft motions and written discovery, or carry a block of files. Common in personal injury, insurance defense, workers' compensation and commercial litigation.
Billed hourly for the hours worked. LawStaff Group never takes a share of your legal fees.
When an attorney goes on leave or gives notice, a contract attorney can hold the seat, keep deadlines and closings on track, and hand the work back cleanly when the seat is filled.
Adding an attorney to your legal department? Start them on our payroll and move them onto your staff once you're sure, or let us run a direct-hire search for a permanent seat, backed by our replacement guarantee.
Temp, temp-to-hire, fractional or permanent. Support professionals work under the direction of your attorneys or legal team, and on temporary assignments we call on the first day and every week after to make sure it's working.
Litigation, corporate, real estate, employment and compliance paralegals: trial preparation, e-filing, discovery, entity management, closings and due diligence.
Bring one in for steady weekly hours, a single matter or the weeks before trial.
Contract intake and triage, playbook-based first reviews, signature routing, repository clean-up, renewal and obligation tracking, and contract lifecycle (CLM) administration.
A good fit when contract volume has outgrown the people handling it.
Calendaring and docketing, court filings, document management, billing entries, correspondence and the administrative work that keeps attorneys billing.
Add part-time support for a busy practice group or cover a leave without a new hire.
Legal secretaries, legal administrators, litigation support, receptionists and file clerks, plus legal nurse consultants for medical-heavy caseloads.
