Summary: Find out some resourceful ways to go about working at multiple law firms as a paralegal.
 
Ways to make multiple jobs work as a paralegal.
We asked two attorneys how paralegals can work for multiple law firms.


Both attorneys mentioned that paralegals are allowed to work remotely. We thank them for their candid responses.

With current technology paralegals have the ability to be entrepreneurs just like their attorney colleagues. From his or her living room a paralegal may conduct work as a 1099 contractor for multiple firms under the banner of their own paralegal service. Firms can benefit because they get help on projects which they can bill their clients for without having to go through the headache or expense of hiring employees, which can keep overhead costs down and productivity up.

Work remotely. Some entry-level paralegal work is very detailed and requires a physical presence in the office. However, tasks such as summarizing depositions, drafting procedural motions, and answering interrogatories can be done anywhere the files are accessible. Also, while it’s very important to respect legal processing deadlines, the work can be done day or night, allowing paralegals to work for multiple firms, as long as their time permits.
 
Freelancing. Law firms experience waves of higher workload during certain times of the year, requiring more manpower. Building relationships with law firms and letting them know you’re willing to do freelance work whenever the extra hands are needed is a great way to start working with multiple firms at once. You won’t be required full-time, so you’re able to choose the time you’ll spend working for each firm.
