Too Many Contracts, Not Enough Hands
A mid-sized business law firm in Dallas had built a steady book of clients needing NDAs, vendor agreements, employment contracts, and operating agreements. The problem wasn't demand, it was capacity.
With two in-house associates handling drafting and review on top of client calls and court deadlines, contract turnaround had slipped past seven business days. New client inquiries were going unanswered for over 48 hours, and the firm had started turning away smaller contract-drafting engagements simply because there was no one to take them on.
Two Remote Attorneys, Embedded in the Workflow
The firm brought on two Remote Attorneys, trained specifically in contract drafting and review, to work as an extension of its in-house team. Each remote attorney was matched based on experience with commercial agreements and employment contracts, then onboarded into the firm's existing document management and e-signature workflow within the first week.
- Drafting and first-pass review of NDAs, vendor agreements, and employment contracts
- Redlining and revision cycles handled on a defined 24-hour SLA
- Direct coordination with the firm's lead associate via secure messaging and shared case files
- Monthly reporting on volume, turnaround time, and client satisfaction
