Our client, a growing multi-practice law firm from Texas, wanted to expand into immigration, estate planning, and intellectual property to meet rising client demand and diversify revenue. Hiring three full-time, specialized associates would have required a significant upfront investment and long-term financial commitment.

Finding experienced attorneys locally in each specialty would have cost over $700,000 annually in salary, benefits, and overhead, before even considering ramp-up time, utilization risk, or future staffing flexibility. Our client needed a way to launch new practice areas quickly without locking the firm into high fixed costs.

Remote Attorneys connected our client with three experienced remote attorneys, each focused on a specific practice area and working part-time. The attorneys integrated directly into the firm’s existing workflows, allowing our client to start accepting new matters immediately across all three areas while maintaining control over workload and costs.

Within weeks, the firm successfully launched all three new practice areas, expanded its service offerings, and began generating new revenue—without adding internal overhead or long-term employment obligations.

“Remote Attorneys gave us the skill sets of three specialized associates without the crushing salaries. This changed our entire growth strategy.”

Goals & Objectives

This case study highlights how multi-practice firms can expand into new legal verticals using Remote Attorneys to unlock growth, control costs, and avoid the long-term risk of traditional associate hiring.

Results

Over the first year, the firm avoided more than $645,000 in traditional hiring costs, launched three new legal verticals simultaneously, and built a flexible staffing model that allowed leadership to scale hours up or down as demand evolved.

By replacing fixed associate salaries with on-demand legal talent, the firm expanded faster, reduced financial risk, and positioned itself for sustainable growth.
