Largely driven by a need to be more cost-efficient, in-house legal teams are more frequently seeking lawyers to work ‘on an interim basis’, and lawyers are becoming more comfortable with the concept of accepting a contract on a rolling or fixed-term basis.
In recent years, the demand for qualified lawyers and paralegals with foreign language skills has significantly increased, especially in relation to document review roles.
Usually performed by lawyers and paralegals with extensive and specific litigation experience, document review is great way to get ‘a foot in the door’ at some of the world’s most prestigious firms, including many US, Magic and Silver Circle firms, and smaller boutique practices.
Interim work offers the flexibility of short-term commitment. It delivers high earning potential and an opportunity to learn new skills and gain experience.
