Temp-to-Perm Legal Staffing: Try an Attorney Before You Hire
Hiring a permanent in-house attorney is one of the higher-stakes bets a legal team makes. You commit headcount and budget on the strength of a few interviews and a résumé, and if the fit is off, the cost of a mis-hire lands on the whole team. Temp-to-perm legal staffing, also called temp-to-hire, takes the guesswork out of it: you bring on an attorney to do the work first, watch how they perform in your systems and your culture, and convert them to a permanent role once the fit is proven.
Paragon places an experienced attorney, from a commercial or litigation attorney to an associate attorney or general counsel, who starts as flexible support and becomes your next hire when you’re ready, so you can evaluate before hiring and take the risk out of legal hiring.
