Common Questions

Fractional Counsel in Los Angeles

How do I hire a fractional general counsel in Los Angeles?
Call LawStaff Group or place a job order with the practice area, hours per week and jurisdiction. A recruiter sends you a short list of video-interviewed attorneys with their rates, and the one you choose works for you on our payroll.
Do fractional lawyers in Los Angeles need to be licensed in California?
For advice on California law or appearances in California courts, generally yes. Many states also let lawyers admitted elsewhere register as in-house counsel for a single employer, and the rules vary. We match you with counsel admitted where your work requires.
Can I hire a part-time paralegal, contract administrator or legal assistant in Los Angeles?
Yes. We place video-interviewed paralegals, contract administrators and legal assistants part-time, on contract, temp-to-hire or permanently. They work under the direction of your attorneys or legal team.
How much does fractional counsel cost in Los Angeles?
Rates depend on experience and practice area. We bill by the hour: on fractional and contract work you pay one hourly rate for the hours you approve, covering the professional's pay and our fee, and we quote it for every candidate before you interview. Our Legal Salary Guide shows what legal professionals are asking to be paid.
Do I have to be in Los Angeles to work with fractional counsel?
No. Much fractional and contract work is remote, with on-site time when the work calls for it.
