Before we begin

Can this work use our own process and templates?

Yes. Share your formats, operating instructions and review checkpoints during scoping. Confirm required system access, onboarding and any specialist experience for the assignment.

Can we combine this with a remote paralegal role?

Discuss the task mix, monthly volume and reporting arrangement. A dedicated role may fit recurring work; a defined project may suit a one-off document pack or research brief.

Where can we review the price?

Use the LPO pricing calculator for an indicative team budget. Request a proposal for the specific work, role requirements and delivery schedule.

Start with the work

What could your team
take off its desk?

Tell us about your practice, the tasks you want to delegate and the coverage you need. We will shape a proposal around the actual work.

Begin with a non-confidential outline. Agree confidentiality and approved access before sharing sensitive client material.
