Virtual Paralegals and Legal Secretaries

Managing the workload of a law practice is no easy task with fluctuating caseloads and clients demanding both a high level of productivity and low costs. Getting the right level of administrative support can be the difference between keeping clients happy and getting overwhelmed. You need a solution that provides quality support and the flexibility to work with a busy, but ever-changing schedule.

Equivity provides virtual paralegals and legal secretaries that are the perfect solution to the varying needs of a law firm or in-house legal team. Your attorneys will work one-on-one with their own experienced, US-based, college-educated paralegal or legal secretary. Your assistant works with you over time, learning the ins and outs of your practice and how you like your matters handled.

Do you need a legal support team? No problem. We can assemble a team of paralegals, legal secretaries, or both to support your firm, either for one-time projects or as a permanent outsourced legal support solution.

Our virtual paralegals and legal secretaries are experienced in a wide variety of specialties including litigation, family law, personal injury, corporate and transactional practices, real estate, criminal, estate planning and much more. With flexible plans, you purchase the number of hours that you need and can scale up depending on how busy your practice is.

Why Equivity?

AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVE

Our virtual paralegals and legal secretaries are affordable alternatives to hiring on-site legal support. All virtual professionals are Equivity employees, not independent contractors. You have the accountability, privacy and security assurances that come with a dedicated employee, while avoiding payroll, workers' compensation, benefits and recruiting costs. If your needs change or your assistant isn't the right match, we'll set you up with a different assistant. No hassle. No stress.

FIRM-WIDE SOLUTION

A dedicated virtual paralegal or legal secretary can act as a shared resource for the whole team. Deploy paralegals and legal secretaries across multiple offices and practices as a firm-wide solution. There's no limit to how many team members can use the service. And we never charge extra to add on new users. They're your hours—use them how you like! We offer a wide range of business services including marketing and bookkeeping, so no matter what your needs are, Equivity's got you covered.

FLEXIBLE PLANS. SUPPORT ON DEMAND.

Equivity offers a wide range of scalable plans so that you can increase your hours as your practice grows and the need arises. Slower month? No problem. If your workload increases, we can provide additional assistants at no extra charge. Increase or decrease your hours as needed.
