What law firms struggle to hire
The work that piles up in law firms is the work that doesn't get billed but has to happen anyway. It's legal process outsourcing, except you hire your own paralegals.
Paralegals
Drafting documents and managing matters so attorneys spend their time on billable work.
See paralegalsLegal assistants
Handling intake, scheduling and the inbox triage that eats partner hours.
See legal assistantsContract administrators
Reviewing, redlining and tracking commitments without missing renewal dates.
See contract administratorsBookkeepers
Handling trust accounting and the rules legal billing requires.
See bookkeepersLegal researchers
Running case law searches and putting together memos.
See legal researchers
!Most firms cover this by pulling associates off billable work, or with one overworked paralegal, until something gets dropped.
Why remote works for law firms
The questions are client confidentiality and whether someone remote can match the precision US legal work demands.
- Confidentiality
Is client data safe?
Confidentiality comes from access controls and agreements, not location. You control matter access, as with any hire.
- Software
Will they know our tools?
Practice management software runs the same from anywhere, and each profile shows the tools the person has used.
- Clio
- MyCase
- NetDocuments
- PracticePanther
- Quality
Who checks the work?
The attorney running the matter still reviews everything. Paralegals draft and legal assistants coordinate, as they always have.
Remote support doesn't change who signs off on the work. It changes how much of the attorney's day goes to billing.
Roles law firms hire

Common questions
Most of the support layer. Paralegals, legal assistants, contract administrators, legal researchers and bookkeepers all work remotely for US firms every day.
Pavago candidates are pre-vetted before you ever see a profile, so you're not sorting through a job board. You see real work samples, rates, and message directly, no recruiter middleman slowing things down.
Every candidate goes through a skills review, portfolio check, and reference verification before appearing in the pool. Roughly 1 in 300 applicants makes it through.
Our talent pool spans LATAM, Africa, South Asia, and Europe. You can filter by region when searching.
In the first 60 days, your replacement is free: no additional placement fee. After that, replacements stay free for as long as you keep the $149/mo plan for that hire, which you can cancel anytime.
Your hire’s contract and offer letter come from a locally compliant template, sent for e-signature inside Pavago. Payroll runs through our partner Plane (plane.com), which pays contractors in 240+ countries. You pay your hire directly from your own Plane account, so Pavago never touches the money. Using Plane costs you nothing for the first 60 days (Pavago covers it), and after that an optional $149/mo per hire keeps it running, cancel anytime. The Plane account stays yours even if you leave Pavago, and you can always run payroll yourself instead.
Searching is free, and a free account adds profile previews (experience, skills, rates) and intro videos. Messaging and interviews are $99/mo, month-to-month. A flat $1,999 placement fee is charged only when your hire signs, and after the first 60 days an optional $149/mo per hire keeps payroll and free replacements going.
You get matched candidates in under a minute. Interviews and offers typically happen within days, not weeks.
