How It Works

How We Fill a Seat

Every order gets a LawStaff recruiter and a team behind them. Here's the path from your first call to a first day.

1

Place an Order

Tell us the role, practice area, hours, location and budget. A recruiter follows up within one business day.

2

We Screen

We interview, test and check references, confirm bar admissions for attorneys, and put your screening questions to every candidate.

3

You Watch, Then Meet

You get résumés with each candidate's answers and a recorded video interview. Meet the ones you like.

4

Day One, and Every Week

On fractional and contract work they start on our payroll, and we check in on day one and weekly.

For Legal Professionals

Paid on Our Payroll.
No Invoices to Chase.

On fractional and contract assignments, you work on LawStaff Group's payroll. We bill the employer, pay you on a regular schedule and take the employer paperwork off your desk.

For Legal Talent →

Payroll & Direct Deposit

You're paid through our payroll on a regular schedule. Our Human Resources department handles the administration.

We Invoice the Employer

We bill the employer for your hours, so you never send an invoice or chase a payment.

Employer Taxes & Insurance

Employer taxes, workers' compensation, unemployment and general liability coverage are handled by us.

Your Video Does the Introducing

Employers watch your video interview before the first call, so the conversations you have are with people who already want to talk to you.

How Billing Works

One Hourly Rate,
Quoted Up Front

We bill by the hour. On fractional, contract and temp-to-hire placements, that's one hourly rate for the hours you approve. It covers the professional's pay and our fee, and we quote it for every candidate before you interview.

No separate admin charges. For a direct-hire search, we go over our placement terms before we start.

In the Hourly Rate

What It Covers

  • The professional's pay
  • Recruiting, your screening questionnaire, the video interview, reference checks and bar confirmation
  • Payroll and direct deposit
  • Employer taxes
  • Workers' compensation, unemployment and general liability coverage
  • Check-in calls on day one and every week

Our fee pays for staffing and payroll services. LawStaff Group never directs an attorney's legal work or professional judgment, and never takes a share of legal fees.

Why Fractional and Contract

When Part-Time Makes Sense

Not every legal need is a full-time job. Fractional and contract staffing lets you match the headcount to the workload.

Pay for the Hours You Use

Part-time legal work shouldn't come with a full-time salary and benefits package. Add hours for a trial or a busy quarter, then scale back.

Cover a Gap Fast

A leave, a resignation or a trial date that moved up: a contract professional can step in while you plan for the long term.

See the Work Before You Hire

Temp-to-hire lets you evaluate someone's actual work before you commit to a full-time offer.

Licensed Where You Need Them

Much of this work can be done remotely. Attorneys are matched to the jurisdictions your work requires.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

What is fractional counsel?
An experienced lawyer who works for your business part-time, for a set number of hours each week or month, instead of a full-time hire or an outside firm billing by the matter. A fractional general counsel fills the GC seat on a part-time basis.
How do you screen candidates?
A LawStaff recruiter interviews every candidate, tests their skills and checks references, and we confirm bar admissions for attorneys. For each search we also build a screening questionnaire with your input, and every candidate we send answers it and records a video interview.
Can I hire a part-time paralegal, contract administrator or legal assistant?
Yes. We place legal support professionals part-time, on contract, temp-to-hire or permanently. Each one is video-interviewed, and on temporary work they're on our payroll. See legal support →
How does billing work?
We bill by the hour. On fractional, contract and temp-to-hire placements you pay one hourly rate for the hours you approve, covering the professional's pay and our fee. We quote it for every candidate before you interview, run payroll and handle employer taxes and insurance. For direct hire, we go over our placement terms before the search starts.
Can I search your candidate database myself?
Yes, with 100X Recruiting, so you save time and reach out to your ideal audience. We find up to 250 candidates for your job; you review them and swipe right to invite the ones you like to apply. See 100X plans ↗
Who directs the legal work?
You and the attorney. LawStaff Group handles staffing and payroll. We never direct an attorney's legal work or professional judgment.
Do you work with businesses outside the United States?
Fractional and contract work is often remote, so location matters less than licensing. We match businesses with attorneys admitted in the jurisdictions their work requires.
I'm an attorney, paralegal or legal professional. How do I apply?
Apply online in a few minutes, then record your video interview right away or later from the link we email you. A LawStaff recruiter then starts matching you with roles that fit your practice, schedule and pay. See what happens after you apply →
Do you place permanent, full-time hires?
Yes. Alongside fractional and contract work, we place attorneys, paralegals, legal secretaries and legal support professionals on a temp-to-hire and direct-hire basis, and we offer payroll services, as we have since 2003. See our hiring solutions →
