“I started using LAWCLERK a little over a year ago for project-based work. More recently I needed several lawyers to assist on a mass tort case, over a period of several months. The lawyers had to gather and evaluate information for plaintiff fact sheets and coordinate documents in support of each of the plaintiffs’ claims. LAWCLERK stepped up in a huge way, vetted a team of lawyers to work with us, and it has been a seamless process.”

The more detailed and precise you are in who you are looking for, the more attractive your post will look to potential applicants.

- Simply click on “accept” to add an applicant to your team.
With Subscription, Hiring Attorneys and Remote Associates establish a longer-term relationship, committing to working together for between 30 and 160 hours per four weeks, thereby allowing a deeper integration into the Hiring Attorneys firm and caseload. Think of subscriptions as hiring a quarter of an associate (40 hrs/mo), half an associate (80 hrs/mo), or three quarters of an associate (120 hrs/mo). Subscription also offers the ability for Remote Associates to function as full attorneys, meaning that they can interact with the Hiring Attorney’s clients, handle depositions, and go to court. With Hourly Associate, you select a Remote Associate to work with for a more limited period of time without a commitment to a set number of hours and you pay as you go for the hours logged by your Remote Associate.
You begin by posting an hourly associate opportunity on the Site. The post will include, among other information, a detailed description of the work needed, the length of engagement (in months), the monthly expectation of hours (ex. 20-40 hours/month), the anticipated maximum hours needed per week, and the hourly rate. Remote Associates will apply to the opportunity and when they apply, their profile will be presented to you to review. You can then select your preferred applicant. Once selected, the Remote Associate will review any conflicts you have provided in the post. If there are no conflicts, the Hourly Associate opportunity will move into “in process” at which point you and the Remote Associate will be provided a dashboard in which matters can be created, documents exchanged, you can chat and video conference with the Remote Associate. The Remote Associate will also log their time in the dashboard so you can bill it to your clients.
The retainer will be the greater of: (i) $2,000, or (ii) the maximum weekly hours multiplied by the hourly rate you set. The retainer will be evergreen which means it will be reloaded as you pay the Remote Associate for work.
