Frequently Asked Questions
Flexible legal talent enables legal departments to scale resources and access specialized expertise without adding permanent headcount. Embedded within your team, these professionals support critical initiatives, address resource gaps, and contribute experience that strengthens your department's capabilities. They help balance workload and maintain continuity during staff absences, providing flexible support that manages legal spend and reliance on outside counsel.
Flexible legal talent supports a range of needs, including commercial contracting, regulatory and compliance workstreams as well as data privacy, cybersecurity, litigation support, legal operations, and AI transformation initiatives. Epiq Counsel Engagement Managers streamline onboarding enabling legal professionals to quickly align with your team, workflows, and priorities and make an immediate impact.
The costs of hiring flexible legal talent vary based on the role, duration, and expertise required. Generally, clients pay for the hours worked, providing flexibility to scale support as business needs change. This approach is more cost-effective than engaging law firms for routine legal work.
Flexible legal support improves your departments’ efficiency by providing immediate assistance for urgent work, moderating the workload for permanent staff, and bringing specialized skills to complex projects. This leads to faster turnaround times and higher-quality work and allows permanent staff to focus on the most critical business needs.
When engaging flexible legal talent, consider the hard and soft skills required for the role, the overall client culture, and the candidate's capacity to collaborate effectively within a team. While Epiq Counsel does leverage technology to assist in identifying and screening candidates, human expertise is crucial for assessing a candidate’s fit for the specific client environment.
