In this age, operating without the right support staff makes it difficult to break through and stay on the top. Numerous crucial administrative activities, including preparing documents, managing cases, proofreading, and so on, must be handled by trained professionals. That’s where we focus because understanding your needs is essential for proper recruitment.
The legal field is different primarily because of its focus on accuracy and confidentiality. To ensure everything is done and delivered on time, legal assistants, proofreaders, document production, and virtual assistants (VAs) are needed. Whether it is handling huge volumes of documents, keeping detailed accounts of case preparation, or anything in between, any legal firm would fail without these functions.
However, a simple task is identifying individuals with the right abilities, expertise, and character traits. As much as looking for specialists is important, looking for someone who understands the complexity of legal work is paramount, as there has to be a fit in terms of values and goals.
Given the high degree of pressure that legal recruitment places on your firm, we have worked out a strategy that enables you to acquire the best talent while minimising any distress. We focus on the placement of personnel in legal support services, virtual PA, document production, and proofreading.
As a business in legal recruitment for a long time, we know that every law firm is unique. That is why we place emphasis on customising the steps we take in recruitment for specific circumstances, cultures, and objectives of the law firm. We send you more than just resumes – we learn about the law firm, the environment, and the qualifications and specific qualities required of potential candidates.
A step that shows how different we are from our competitors is our source and screen recruitment model for law firms. Instead of broad brush strokes, we select our candidates and invest resources in giving them the screening needed so that when they graduate, they have the skills, qualifications, and experience that fit into what the law firm needs. The process we follow is made up of the following:
1. Global Sourcing – As a global network of representative law firms, we source missing pieces among a sizable pool of candidates worldwide as long as your location does not restrict you from accessing the best the market offers.
If you are looking for employees who can provide legal assistance in the office or virtual PA, we assist in hiring people according to your specifications.
2. Assessment of Cultural Compatibility: In case your law firm lacks these skills, it is not a hiring-only skill for us. Cultural fit is important as well to classify the hiring as truly successful. We check if the people you would want to hire would have the culture and working method of your organisation so that there are no problems once they join the team.
3. Disciplinary procedure for other professional misconducts: A well-defined procedure is followed by the candidates in a rigorous screening at the back-end where the candidates go through assessment procedures, including thorough checks for their competence in the relevant core fields and level of the same. Their personality type is tested along with their flexibility when it comes to how each person will function in the firm's environment.
4. Direct Services to the Client/Customer: This is one of the fundamental propositions. It includes maintaining contact after the candidate is found. Never-ending contact is maintained with the law firm and the hire to ensure the process is seamless and the needs of both parties are met.
Law firms are increasingly implementing virtual systems, so opting for virtual PA is also on the rise. Virtual PA can carry out most of the roles of the in-house assistant but has more shores and is cheaper.
Virtual PAs are in demand, and we make sure those who work with you are well-trained to perform legal administrative work or manage schedules, interact with clients, and much more. Modern law firms will find Virtual PAs invaluable as they come with lower costs, more flexible work practices, and a larger skills pool.
Writing and editing of documents, Proofreading: There isn’t any room for mistakes at all. Quality can’t be compromised, particularly in legal papers. A slip-up in a contract, a court filing, or a legal brief can cause tremendous damage. That’s why recruiting highly qualified staff in document production and proofreaders is very important for the success of every law firm.
We guarantee that the candidates we offer for document production and proofreading positions have the skills and experience to carry out these tasks. We’ll help you find the right fit, whether your law firm requires an individual to execute the whole document production cycle or merely intends to review and proof complex legal documents.
Finally, the success of your law firm goes beyond the ability of your attorneys to the need for having the appropriate support system in place. With our premium recruitment services, you can go on about your business, serving your customers and winning your cases, sure in the knowledge that your legal support, Virtual PAs, and document production staff are all engaged and effective in processes out of sight.
