What Fractional Insurance Defense Counsel Does

LawStaff Group places insurance defense attorneys and paralegals with defense firms and carrier teams on a fractional, part-time or project basis: written discovery, depositions, medical record summaries, carrier reporting and trial support.

LawStaff Group places experienced, video-interviewed attorneys for the hours the work needs, from a few hours a month to several days a week, or full time on contract. While they work with you on a fractional or contract basis, they're on our payroll.

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.
