Contract paralegal support for law firms · New York & nationwide

The filings still have to go out. Your associates have better things to bill.

LEGALWISE provides overflow paralegal capacity to firms by the hour — e-filing, discovery, document preparation, and the administrative weight that accumulates faster than you can hire for it. Buy a block of hours. Use them when the work spikes. No payroll, no benefits, no idle salary between matters.

By the hourBilled to the tenth. You see the ledger.

Why firms use us

Capacity you can turn on, and off.

A full-time paralegal costs a salary, benefits, and the quiet expense of paying for hours you do not currently need. An hour block costs only what you draw from it.

I

No fixed overhead

No salary, no benefits, no taxes, no severance. Capacity that scales with the docket rather than against it.

II

Experienced, not entry-level

Healthcare compliance, litigation support, real estate and multi-state regulatory filing. Work that arrives finished rather than needing rework.

III

Transparent ledger

Every task logged to the tenth of an hour against your block. You always know the balance and where it went.

IV

Deadline discipline

48-hour standard turnaround, rush available. Filing deadlines are treated as immovable, because they are.

Rates

Buy the hours. Draw them down as the docket demands.

Each package is a block of paralegal hours spent across any matter in your practice. The larger the block, the lower the effective rate. Hours expire, so you provision only what you intend to use.

Confidentiality and supervision.

We understand the professional obligations you carry. Client confidences, privilege, and conflicts are not administrative details — they are the terms on which a firm can work with an outside provider at all.

LEGALWISE executes a confidentiality agreement before any file is transmitted. Substantive legal work is performed under the supervision of the retaining attorney, consistent with your obligations regarding the use of non-lawyer assistants.

How we work with firms

  • Written confidentiality agreement before any file is shared
  • Conflict check performed before an engagement opens
  • All substantive work supervised by the retaining attorney
  • Secure transmission and storage of client files
  • Work product belongs to the firm, without exception
  • No contact with your clients unless you direct it
  • Itemised records suitable for your own billing
