Trial-Ready Scale
Three business professionals at a table discussing a lawsuit, with icons of a factory, courthouse, scales of justice, legal documents, and briefcase in the background.

Our enterprise client located in Florida experienced a sudden surge in workload after onboarding multiple high-stake matters across the nation. The firm needed senior-level litigation support immediately to handle motions, discovery, document review, deposition preparation, and legal research without compromising deadlines or trial readiness.

Traditionally, this Workers Comp law firm would have hired four to five full-time enterprise-level associates to manage the surge, an investment exceeding $1 million annually in salary, benefits, and overhead. Beyond cost, leadership faced long hiring timelines and the risk of excess headcount once the surge subsided.

Instead, the firm partnered with Remote Attorneys to deploy a team of five seasoned attorneys who integrated directly into existing practice groups across offices. The remote team supported active matters immediately, allowing internal attorneys to stay focused on strategy, client communication, and courtroom preparation. Within weeks, the firm stabilized its caseload, met every major deadline, and maintained full trial readiness without adding permanent payroll.

“Remote Attorneys allowed us to scale like a top-tier enterprise firm without absorbing millions in overhead. We met every deadline across three major matters, and did it with massive cost efficiency.”
