With Paragon, I can leverage the talent of a former general counsel who can step into a subject matter like privacy, employment or transactional support. They’ve been key to supporting our business in a way that’s allowed me to be nimble. I can utilize their talent for months, reassess my needs and not feel the pressure to make a rushed hire.

When Does Flexible Legal Staffing Make the Most Sense?

In-house legal departments turn to flexible legal staffing for different reasons — but timing is key. Knowing when to bring in additional legal support can save your team time, money, and stress.

Common triggers include:


Employee leaves 
or departures.


Maternity leave, sabbaticals, or sudden resignations often leave critical gaps.


Surges in 
transactional or regulatory workload.


M&A activity, commercial contracting, and compliance reviews don’t wait.


Specialized 
legal expertise.


Some matters demand niche experience not available internally.


Budgetary constraints.


Flexible staffing avoids the overhead of permanent hires or high hourly rates from.

By acting early, your legal team stays ahead of business needs while maintaining control over resourcing and spend.

Legal Talent Without 
the Long Ramp-Up

One of the biggest concerns when adding outside legal support is the time it takes to get someone up to speed. With Paragon, clients routinely report that our attorneys begin contributing quickly, often within days.

That’s because we focus on:


Experience.


Our professionals are seasoned counsel and former attorneys with strong business judgment.


Preparation.


Each engagement includes clear expectations, onboarding support, and alignment on goals.


Adaptability.


Paragon selects attorneys for their ability to work independently while integrating smoothly into your systems and team culture.

When speed matters, Paragon’s legal talent delivers results — without the lag.

    Alternative legal service providers (ALSPs) offer cost-effective, scalable solutions for in-house legal teams. Paragon is a leading ALSP that helps legal departments manage overflow work, short-term staffing needs, or specialized projects without the costs associated with big law firms or full-time hires.

    Use an ALSP when you need:

    • Contract review or document-heavy support
    • Legal operations guidance or process efficiency improvements
    • Temporary legal talent to cover employee leaves or support high-volume workloads

    As business needs evolve, so do your legal requirements. Workloads shift, roles adapt, and specialized legal support may be needed, often at a moment’s notice. Paragon provides the flexible legal talent your department needs to remain agile, delivering highly skilled professionals precisely when you need them.

    Our on-demand model offers a strategic alternative that’s:

    • More sustainable than overburdening your existing in-house team with additional responsibilities
    • More flexible than committing to full-time or part-time hires, allowing you to scale resources up or down
    • More cost-effective than relying solely on external law firms, ensuring quality without excessive costs

    It starts with a conversation between you and the Paragon client team. We’ll do a thorough intake to understand your legal needs and what you’re looking for in a candidate. Then, our recruiting team will begin engaging our talent pool of experienced legal professionals. 

    You’ll receive a curated list of resumes, and then we’ll schedule interviews with the candidates you’re most interested in. Once you make a selection, we’ll support onboarding so your attorney can start contributing right away.

    Your Paragon attorney will quickly integrate into your in-house team, adapting to your internal systems and workflows. We provide guidance to both parties on success factors and engagement expectations. Your legal department can train the attorney on your processes, risk tolerance, and tools.

    In addition to your attorney, you’ll have a dedicated Project Success team supporting your engagement, which includes a client development associate who will be your main point of contact and an attorney development associate supporting your Paragon attorney with feedback, coaching, and issue resolution.

    Our placement process moves fast, often within days. After your initial consultation, we begin matching your needs with our network of experienced attorneys. In many cases, we present qualified candidates within 48 – 72 hours. Once you’ve selected someone, we handle onboarding to ensure they’re integrated and contributing quickly. Our goal is to minimize disruption and maximize speed without sacrificing quality or fit.
