Contract paralegal support for law firms · New York & nationwide
LEGALWISE provides overflow paralegal capacity to firms by the hour — e-filing, discovery, document preparation, and the administrative weight that accumulates faster than you can hire for it. Buy a block of hours. Use them when the work spikes. No payroll, no benefits, no idle salary between matters.
Services
Everything below is performed at your direction and under your supervision. We are a paralegal service, not a law firm — we do not advise your clients and we do not appear anywhere.
The procedural workload that eats associate hours.
First drafts and formatting, ready for your review.
Specialist filing work most firms would rather not staff.
Why firms use us
A full-time paralegal costs a salary, benefits, and the quiet expense of paying for hours you do not currently need. An hour block costs only what you draw from it.
No salary, no benefits, no taxes, no severance. Capacity that scales with the docket rather than against it.
Healthcare compliance, litigation support, real estate and multi-state regulatory filing. Work that arrives finished rather than needing rework.
Every task logged to the tenth of an hour against your block. You always know the balance and where it went.
48-hour standard turnaround, rush available. Filing deadlines are treated as immovable, because they are.
Rates
Each package is a block of paralegal hours spent across any matter in your practice. The larger the block, the lower the effective rate. Hours expire, so you provision only what you intend to use.
A single matter
Sustained overflow
Standing capacity
Priced per outcome rather than per hour, so the cost is known before anything begins.
We understand the professional obligations you carry. Client confidences, privilege, and conflicts are not administrative details — they are the terms on which a firm can work with an outside provider at all.
LEGALWISE executes a confidentiality agreement before any file is transmitted. Substantive legal work is performed under the supervision of the retaining attorney, consistent with your obligations regarding the use of non-lawyer assistants.
Request capacity
Send the matter type, the volume, and the deadline. You will have a straight answer on fit, turnaround and cost — usually within one business day.
