Licensed and credentialed attorneys can perform critical short- and long-term assignments as well as “temporary” (non permanent) full-time positions.

What are the Benefits to Using Project Attorneys?

Strategic Staffing Flexibility

With full-time associates working at close to capacity, law firms and corporate legal departments can rely on project attorneys with the experience and skills to complete key activities on a variety of cases and assignments. This can be especially critical during peak workloads when additional support is required on short notice to meet deadlines.

Immediate Access to Specialized Expertise

Project attorneys who possess specific practice area expertise can add specialized value within a firm or department, particularly if such skills are not available internally.

Cost Savings

Law firms that use project attorneys can enhance growth while increasing operational efficiency on behalf of clients. Legal departments can control costs by strategically retaining projects in house.  Qualified project attorneys can reduce outside counsel fees by as much as 50 percent - a critical option for departments under strict budgets.

Versatility

Qualified project attorneys can conduct a wide range of professional functions:

• Draft contracts, agreements, disclosures, loan papers and documentation for corporate transactional matters.
• Review and analyze key materials such as documents from opposing counsel, research from paralegals and other associates, privileged information, or information produced for opposing parties.
• Handle required appearances such as preliminary or arbitration hearings and negotiations.
• Oversee litigation support teams to ensure projects are accomplished in accordance with the lead attorney's directions.
• Assist in business development strategies.
• Fill highly specialized needs for matters that require specific expertise (Export Licensing, Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, Government Procurement, etc.)

 Advantages of working with Project Attorneys

Project attorneys evaluate your project to ensure they possess the precise skills and specific practice area expertise you require.  In addition, we will notify you immediately if our skills do not mesh exactly with your needs and withdraw from the matter without charge where our lawyers with years of experience in the legal industry and direct knowledge cannot address your particular needs.
