​Why Hiring A Freelance Lawyer is a Stress-Free & Affordable Way for Lawyers to Get More Done

It’s one of those days.

It’s 6:30pm, you’ve worked all day, and you have not checked off one single item on your already too long “To-Do List”.

Where did the day go?

It was filled with “stuff” preventing you from finishing what needs to be finished.  
​
You know you need help, but you do not want the headache and overhead costs that comes with hiring a full-time associate.  

So, you just keep doing the work yourself. . . . . And losing more and more of your personal time.

We’ve been there. We understand.

And, that’s why our freelance lawyers can help you get out of this rut!

We can give you the experienced legal assistance you need, without the long-term commitment of a full-time employee.

Flex Legal’s freelance lawyers were all trained at top firms or in-house legal departments across Canada. They’ve all practiced as “real” lawyers (on average 5-10 years) before starting freelance practices. They know the stresses of running a practice, dealing with clients, staff, the court, opposing counsel, IT problems, and countless other issues that can interrupt your day.

And those years of experience do not come with a hefty price tag. Freelance lawyers have lower overhead costs, which results in below market rates. Hiring lawyers can then bill out the freelance lawyer's time at reasonable market rates to their clients.

Hiring a freelance lawyer on an as-needed basis allows you to:
​

• Delegate work that you do not want to do.  Stop procrastinating and avoiding that work that just doesn't interest you anymore. Give it to us and cross it off your list. This can be anything from legal research to court appearances to contract review to drafting claims or affidavits. We can help with all aspects of a file.

 

• Find help when there is a surge in work. When a normal work week quickly turns into a week from hell, we can step in and take a few tasks off your hands to alleviate stress and help you avoid those late nights. 

 

• Meet the client deadlines you promised to meet. Clients can be demanding. We can help you meet those demands by working behind the scenes to complete those promised documents. Keep your clients happy and never miss a deadline again. Clients always appreciate a quick turnaround and excellent customer service.

 

• Work on the important, but often pushed aside, non-billable work. Was your last firm blog post written in 2016? Are those client newsletters slipping off your radar? Have a conference paper you promised to draft? Delegate those non-billable tasks to our freelance lawyers so you no longer have to spend mental energy thinking about (and avoiding) them.
