Roles we help law firms fill
Add the right remote support for the work your firm needs done.
LegalBasis helps law firms define, recruit, and support remote professionals across legal, administrative, intake, and marketing functions.
We do not begin with a generic candidate list. We begin by understanding the work, responsibilities, systems, and supervision structure inside your firm, then identify the type of professional who can support it effectively.
Virtual Legal Assistants
Support with document preparation, file organization, calendaring, client communication, and routine case administration.
Remote Paralegals
Experienced support for case preparation, legal research, drafting, discovery, records, and matter management under attorney supervision.
Legal Administrative Staff
Help with scheduling, document management, billing support, data entry, correspondence, and internal coordination.
Intake and Client Support
Support for inbound inquiries, follow-up, consultation scheduling, client onboarding, and communication workflows.
Legal Marketing Professionals
Support with content, social media, email campaigns, website updates, lead follow-up, and marketing coordination.
Operations and Specialized Support
Flexible support for process documentation, reporting, CRM administration, research, recruiting coordination, and other firm-specific needs.
Not every role should be remote. We help identify the roles and responsibilities where remote support can strengthen the firm without weakening local leadership, supervision, or client relationships.
Compliant hiring support
Hire globally without having to manage the employment infrastructure yourself.
Finding the right remote professional is only part of the process.
LegalBasis helps law firms navigate the practical employment steps that come after recruiting, including compliant local hiring, employment documentation, payroll administration, and ongoing worker support through employer-of-record services where available.
The goal is to give your firm the benefits of global hiring without requiring it to establish a foreign entity or build an international HR and payroll function from scratch.
You manage the work.
We help support the employment structure.
01
Role and Candidate Alignment
We help define the role, recruit candidates, and confirm that the position fits the firm’s actual operating needs.
02
Local Employment Setup
Where employer-of-record support is used, the professional is hired through an appropriate local employment structure rather than treated as an informal overseas contractor.
03
Payroll and Documentation
Employment agreements, payroll administration, required documentation, and related employment processes are handled through the applicable support structure.
04
Ongoing Employment Support
The firm receives continued assistance with routine employment administration and worker-support issues while remaining responsible for day-to-day supervision and legal work.
Employer-of-record availability, employment requirements, benefits, fees, and onboarding processes vary by country and hiring arrangement. LegalBasis does not provide foreign legal or tax advice and may coordinate with third-party employment providers where appropriate.
How it works
A clear path from staffing need to successful remote hire.
LegalBasis brings staffing strategy, focused recruiting, and hiring support into one coordinated process.
We begin by understanding how your firm operates, then help define the role, identify qualified candidates, and guide the hiring and onboarding process.

Hire and Onboard
Your firm controls the hiring decision and the professional’s day-to-day work. LegalBasis helps create a clearer, more organized path to the right hire.
Simple, transparent pricing
Build remote capacity without adding a full U.S. salary.
LegalBasis pricing is built around two straightforward components: employment support and the compensation paid to your remote professional.
Actual costs vary by role, experience, location, schedule, language requirements, and hiring market. Entry-level administrative and support roles in select markets may begin at $6 per hour, while experienced legal assistants, paralegals, case managers, intake professionals, and specialized staff typically command higher compensation.

Built from real law-firm experience
A staffing model shaped by operating a hybrid U.S. law firm.
LegalBasis was created from firsthand experience building and managing a law firm with both local and remote professionals.
The goal was not simply to reduce cost. It was to identify which responsibilities needed to remain local, which work could be handled effectively by remote professionals, and how to create the supervision, communication, and employment structure needed for the team to function well.
That operating experience now informs the way LegalBasis helps other law firms define roles, recruit qualified remote professionals, and build practical hybrid teams around the way the firm actually works.
