Paralegal is one of the titles we hear most. These are the part-time roles where your experience carries over, what they pay per hour, and the tasks open now. About five hours a week, next to your main job.
By Lauren Mitchell, Director, Legal · Edited by Helena Voss · Published
Paralegals find side work in document-heavy tasks: contract abstraction, due diligence checklists, filings preparation, trademark searches and organising a data room. All of it is done under the supervision of a lawyer named in the brief, who keeps responsibility for advice.
State the areas you know, such as corporate, employment or IP, and the systems you have used for document review. Confidentiality and conflicts are checked before every task; tell your recruiter about any matters your firm handles that could overlap. Work is often urgent, so be clear about which evenings you can commit to.

The same rules apply to every task, so they live on two pages: Pricing explains the 15% fee, prepayment and when you are paid; How it works covers matching, what a company sees and side work next to a job.
