It shouldn't. We've placed remote staff for 280+ US companies — here's exactly how the compliance side works. ### Full EOR Compliance We are the Employer of Record across 8 LATAM countries. Payroll, taxes, benefits, contracts — all handled. You sign one MSA with us, not 12 international agreements. ### W-8BEN & 1099 Clean Every placement is W-8BEN documented and 1099-eligible. Your CPA will love us. No surprise tax exposure, no misclassification risk. ### USD Flat-Rate Pricing Pay one transparent USD monthly invoice. No FX swings, no payroll math, no benefits surcharges. What we quote is what you pay. ## Legal Hiring — FAQ ### How is client confidentiality protected? Every legal placement signs a US-style attorney-client confidentiality NDA before introduction. All work happens inside your case-management system with credentialed user access — no documents leave your environment. ### Are they trained on US legal procedure? Yes. We screen specifically for prior US-firm experience — immigration, PI, family, criminal defense, estate planning, and business law are the most common verticals. ### Can they handle Spanish-speaking clients? Yes. Bilingual coverage is one of the biggest reasons firms hire with us — every placement is C1/C2 in both English and Spanish, screened for legal terminology in both languages. ### How do you run conflict checks before a placement starts? Before day one, your placement is onboarded into your conflicts system and runs checks the same way your in-office staff do. We also screen candidates against your adverse-party and client lists at engagement start, and re-check whenever you add a matter type. ### How do you avoid the unauthorized practice of law (UPL)? Our staff perform support work only: intake, records, document prep, calendaring, billing, and client communication under attorney direction. They do not give legal advice, set fees, or sign pleadings. Scope boundaries are written into the engagement and reinforced in onboarding. ### Who supervises the work? A licensed attorney at your firm supervises all substantive output, exactly as with an in-house paralegal. We structure workflows so every deliverable routes back to a named supervising attorney for review before it leaves the firm. ### How is confidentiality and the NDA process handled? Every placement signs a firm-specific NDA plus our confidentiality addendum before receiving access. Work happens inside your systems — your DMS, your email, your case management — never on personal drives, and access is revoked same-day on offboarding. ### Which practice areas do you cover? Personal injury, immigration, family, criminal defense, estate planning, real estate, and small-firm business litigation. We shortlist by practice area experience, not generic 'legal VA' backgrounds. ### Can they handle Spanish-speaking clients? Yes — that is a core reason firms hire from LATAM. All placements are bilingual EN/ES and can run intake calls, sign-up appointments, and status updates in Spanish, which typically raises sign-up rates on Spanish-language leads. ### Can I see work-product samples before hiring? Yes. Shortlists include redacted work samples — demand letter drafts, medical chronologies, privilege logs, or intake summaries — plus a paid short test assignment on your own matter type if you want to validate quality first. ### Is billing hourly or monthly? Both are available. Most firms use a USD flat monthly rate for full-time coverage; hourly is available for part-time or overflow support. Rates start at $13/hr with no placement fee under the staffing model. ## Explore Legal staffing ### Legal roles - [Hire Paralegals](/operations/legal/paralegals) - [Hire Legal Assistants](/operations/legal/legal-assistants) - [Hire Legal Intake Specialists](/operations/legal/legal-intake-specialists) - [Hire Legal Secretaries](/operations/legal/legal-secretaries) - [Hire Contract Reviewers](/operations/legal/contract-reviewers) ### Other industries - [Healthcare back-office support](/operations/healthcare) - [Construction back-office support](/operations/construction-trades) - [Finance back-office support](/operations/finance-accounting) - [Ecommerce back-office support](/operations/ecommerce) - [Insurance back-office support](/operations/insurance) - [Architecture back-office support](/operations/architecture) ### Guides & pricing - [All industries we staff](/operations) - [Pricing & flat monthly rates](/operations/pricing) - [How hiring works (48h shortlist)](/operations/how-it-works) - [LATAM salary benchmarks](/latam-salaries) Three ways to work with us ## Choose how you want to hire.
