Learn more →The cost of a permanent hire you don't always need.
No employment overhead
No employer NI, no holiday pay, no sick pay, no pension contributions, no redundancy liability. The full cost of a paralegal placement is the placement fee — predictable, monthly, cancellable.
Scales with your caseload
When a large matter comes in or a practice area grows faster than expected, you add capacity immediately. When it slows, you scale back. No headcount decisions, no redundancy conversations.
Vetted before they arrive
Every placement is pre-screened by a practising solicitor, not a recruiter. We assess legal knowledge, work ethic and practice area competence before a placement is made. You don't interview CVs — you approve a profile.
How it works
Placed and working
within the week.
Tell us what you need
Practice area, seniority, hours, location preference and any specific experience required. We usually turn around a shortlist within 48 hours.
We find and vet the right person
We match from our network of pre-vetted paralegals and legal support staff — all UK-based, all experienced. You approve the profile before placement.
They start working
Your placement arrives already briefed, already vetted and ready to work under your supervision from day one. We stay involved throughout — supporting you if anything needs adjusting.

Where is the capacity
holding you back?
You're turning away work because you don't have the capacity
A large matter comes in, a practice area grows faster than expected, or a key fee earner is off — and you can't take on the work. Flexible resourcing means you add the right capacity when you need it, without committing to a hire you might not need in six months.
Your fee earners are doing work that doesn't require their seniority
A solicitor spending three hours chasing documents or progressing routine correspondence is expensive in two ways: the cost of their time, and the client work going undone. A paralegal or case handler at a fraction of the cost frees them to work at their level.
You need to scale without the risk of a permanent hire
Employment liability, salary commitments, notice periods, redundancy — every permanent hire carries risk that doesn't match a caseload that fluctuates. A monthly placement, cancellable at any billing period, carries none of it.
A matter needs expertise you don't have in-house
Litigation that requires a medical, engineering or financial expert witness — sourcing and instructing the right person through separate channels is time-consuming and uncertain. We source, vet and instruct through one contact.
