Freelance Paralegals
For Paralegals, freelance and temporary/contract positions are becoming a great alternative to full-time or permanent careers. Among other things, it allows flexibility to spend time with family, you set your own schedule and you are your own boss. Listed below are some helpful links and articles all about working on your own terms. ParalegalGateway is excited to offer our freelance colleagues a FREE business directory. Be sure to add your information as we will be marketing the directory to law firms and in-house legal corporations.
Because Freelance Paralegals often feel isolated we thought it would be a good idea to create a Freelance Paralegal Group on the new site. We hope you will join and support other Freelance Paralegals in your own unique community. This group will be lead by Dave Moyer who has graciously agreed to mentor other Freelance Paralegals.
