Paralegals & Legal Assistants
Qualified paralegals,
ready to work.
UK-based paralegals and legal assistants placed into your firm and supervising-solicitor-ready from day one. All practice areas. Flexible, monthly, cancellable.
The problem
Growing caseload. No time to hire.
Hiring takes months
By the time you've written the job description, advertised, interviewed and waited out the notice period, the caseload you needed help with has either grown beyond control or you've lost clients to a faster firm.
A permanent hire is a commitment
Employer NI, holiday pay, sick pay, pension, office space — the true cost of a permanent paralegal is well above the salary figure. And if the work dries up, you still carry that cost.
Agency staff need months to settle
A temp from a recruitment agency is an unknown quantity — you don't know their legal knowledge, their work ethic or whether they'll still be there next month. Training time you can't afford to spend.

Tell us what you need
Practice area, seniority level, hours per week, remote or office-based, and any specific experience. We turn around a shortlist within 48 hours.
We find and vet the right person
Every candidate is pre-screened by a practising solicitor — not a recruiter. We assess legal knowledge, experience and fit before presenting to you.
They start
Your paralegal arrives briefed, vetted and ready to work under your supervision. We remain involved to support both sides if anything needs adjusting.
Why us
Not a recruitment agency.
Vetted by a solicitor, not a recruiter
Every candidate is assessed by a practising solicitor against the actual demands of the role. You get a paralegal who can do the legal work, not just someone who interviewed well.
Flexible by design
Monthly rolling. Scale up when the caseload grows, scale back when it doesn't. No fixed terms, no notice periods, no redundancy risk.
We stay involved
We don't place and disappear. If the placement isn't working for either side, we address it. You have one point of contact for the duration.
