WHY CLIENTS USE CONTRACT PROFESSIONALS:

The Partners Group specializes in providing temporary/contract attorneys and paralegals to our clients. Using contract professionals is a way for law firms and in-house legal departments to manage workloads without compromising the services provided to their clients. If your firm or legal department is interested in using contract professionals, please contact our office.

Our office maintains a database of available contract attorneys and paralegals in their individual cities. Former practicing attorneys and paralegals in the offices are available to intelligently discuss your particular need or assignment. The office then forwards to you resumes of candidates whose experience matches your needs or project. The recruiters personally interview and screen all candidates before submitting their resumes to our clients; however, many of our clients also choose to interview candidates prior to retaining their services.

Listed below are just a few of the many benefits to using contract legal professionals:

Staff up for Large Cases that may Settle – The use of contract attorneys and paralegals allows a firm to staff up for a large case or large transaction when it becomes necessary. The contract attorneys and paralegals can be used in crunch times on litigation document reviews so that the firm’s permanent associates are not diverted away from other cases.

Staff up for Due Diligence Projects - The use of contract attorneys and paralegals is sometimes necessary to staff large transactions where experienced attorneys and paralegals are needed to review and analyze documents. These projects include reviewing and analyzing contracts, leases, and a variety of other corporate records.

Flexible Staffing – A contract attorney or paralegal understands that he or she is being hired for a specific project and that when the project ends the assignment is over. Your firm can expand or contract as your business or caseload dictates without wasting time and money hiring permanent attorneys.

Low Hourly Rates – Contract attorneys and paralegals are paid by the affiliate offices on an hourly basis without your firm having to incur benefit expenses such as healthcare or payroll taxes. Our hourly rates typically range between $40 and $80 for attorneys and between $25 and $40 for paralegals.
