Ethics & Billing Memos

What kind of lawyer does freelance work?

Big law firms have long had the business savvy to capture the benefits of independent legal contractors, contract attorneys or freelance lawyers. Traditionally, firms hired contract lawyers for document review or other mundane tasks. The firm met its clients' needs, and the lawyer paid a few bills while searching for a permanent position. Times have changed.

Many exceptional lawyers have departed the traditional practice of law. Whether for family obligations or personal preferences, these lawyers are talented in specific areas, and turn to contract work to maintain a connection with a profession they enjoy. As a result, there is a growing pool of legal talent available to solos and firms on more flexible and profitable terms than ever before.

Years ago, distance hindered productivity and prevented collaboration. Now, data circles the globe in seconds and workplace flexibility is the new route to productivity. We are excited by these advances in technology, and have employed the easiest and most effective methods to make our work with you uncommonly convenient, productive, and secure.

The Purpose of Off-Site Associates

Dear Colleague:

Legal work appears to be approaching commodity status. In my estimation, the increasing popularity of outsourcing work to foreign countries and the rapid proliferation of information through technology are contributing factors. I have seen legal outsourcing operations represented by flow charts and websites for self-help legal document production. While these services may be useful for their intended purpose, the trend they represent is antithetical to my goal here.

For me, legal research, writing, and analysis are the most rewarding part of my work as a lawyer. I founded Off-Site Associates because I wanted to maximize my exposure to that work and surround myself with like-minded attorneys. My goal is to form relationships between professionals. Beyond the modern technology and novel approach is a purpose as old as the law itself: lawyers getting together to solve legal problems for clients.

We look forward to working with you.

Yours truly,
Seth Azria, Esq.
Founder
