FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions law firms ask before hiring remotely.

Clear answers about candidate selection, management, employment support, cost, and integration.

Traditional virtual staffing generally provides remote personnel through a staffing company’s service model. Depending on the provider, the agency may control or remain involved in candidate assignment, pricing, systems, supervision, or replacement.

LegalBasis helps your firm build a more directly managed remote team. We recruit and screen candidates, but your firm interviews, chooses, trains, and manages the professional within its own systems and workflows. Where available, our EOR-supported employment structure operates in the background.

Common roles include virtual legal assistants, remote paralegals, intake and client-support professionals, legal administrative staff, marketing professionals, operations support, and other firm-specific positions.

No. We begin by learning about your firm and the role you need. After an initial consultation, we can prepare a free, customized candidate shortlist for your review, with no obligation to hire.

We recruit through HireBasis’s global talent network and screen candidates based on the role, relevant experience, communication skills, availability, and your firm’s specific requirements. Your firm makes the final selection.

You are not required to select anyone. We can review your feedback, refine the search criteria, and identify additional candidates who may be a better fit.

Once your firm selects a candidate, LegalBasis coordinates the next steps, including EOR-supported employment where applicable and integration into your existing systems, workflows, and training process.

Generally, no. The professional can work within the systems and workflows your firm already uses, subject to appropriate access, security, and operational requirements.

Where an employer-of-record arrangement is used, the applicable EOR is generally the formal legal employer and handles payroll, employment documentation, and routine administration. Your firm directs the professional’s day-to-day work.

Timing depends on the role, candidate availability, interview process, country, and employment arrangement. Onboarding and local employment setup may also affect the start date.

Contact us promptly so we can understand the issue and discuss the appropriate next steps. Depending on the circumstances and arrangement, those steps may include performance support, ending the placement, or beginning a new candidate search.
