The Future of Legal Staffing: How Freelance and Fractional Attorneys are Changing the Way Law Firms Hire, Grow, and Scale 

As lawyers, our time is our most valuable asset. And we never seem to have enough of it. With overflowing caseloads, tight deadlines, and administrative tasks piling up, it’s easy for attorneys to constantly feel stretched to their limits.

As we cannot yet clone ourselves or add more time into the 24-hour day, it’s time to consider alternative options to assist us. Many of us do not have the desire or financial means to hire and onboard a new employee with a salary and benefits, but solutions now exist to bridge this gap: freelance or fractional attorneys.

In this webinar, Chelsey Lambert and Kristin Tyler will guide you through the process of outsourcing your workload to trusted, remote attorneys. You don’t have to hire a brand-new employee to get the help that you need!
