Legal Contract Staffing

Special Counsel is the nation’s largest provider of temporary and project legal professionals. Our reputation, size and scale, combined with our local market knowledge in each of over 30 locations in 20 states, give us a distinct advantage in recruiting and retaining the best legal talent available on a short-term or long-term basis. Our national coverage (and global presence through our sister companies) enables our clients to enjoy the benefits of an established partnership with a premier legal provider that can consistently deliver services wherever their needs may occur.

Special Counsel’s contract staffing services provide law firms and corporate legal departments with key personnel during critical times in their business cycles. Our clients see the value in hiring temporary legal professionals to help during peak work periods to ease the burden on permanent employees, to join large-scale projects that would be impractical to staff on a permanent basis, to take on assignments that require a specific or highly sophisticated skill set, to provide part-time assistance on matters that do not require full-time employees, and to cover family and medical leaves. Our candidates include experienced attorneys, paralegals, litigation support professionals, legal support staff, document review attorneys and legal nurse consultants. Many of our contract attorneys graduated from top tier law schools and have worked as in-house counsel or in large or boutique law firms.

Today, market forces and law firm economics are such that extremely talented and experienced legal professionals from all fields of law are available for contract assignments. Time and again, legal employers turn to Special Counsel for qualified, rigorously screened attorneys, paralegals and other legal professionals to solve their temporary staffing needs
