Remote Paralegal Services Integrated With Clio and MyCase
Remote paralegal services delivered with flat-fee pricing, two rounds of revisions, and work product returned to your firm for review under your engaging attorney's Rule 5.3 supervision.
Where Remote Paralegals Add the Most Value
Remote paralegal services deliver paralegal work product entirely through secure remote workflows: cloud-based case management, encrypted document portals, e-signature platforms, and virtual depositions. Remote paralegal services let solo attorneys and small firms add capacity without office overhead and without hiring a full-time employee. Legal Tank's remote paralegals work under licensed-attorney supervision, integrate with major practice-management platforms, and follow the same UPL safeguards as on-site paralegals.

Remote Paralegal Questions From Distributed Firms
Can paralegal work be done remotely?
Most paralegal work can be done remotely, and a significant share of the U.S. paralegal workforce now works from home full-time or hybrid. The work that translates well to remote includes drafting pleadings, motions, contracts, and discovery; calendaring and deadline management; deposition prep and summary; cite-checking and Bluebook formatting; and client intake. The work that occasionally requires on-site presence includes original-document review, in-person trial support, and court appearances; those can usually be handled by a local court runner.
What type of paralegal makes the most money?
The highest-paid paralegals work in patent prosecution, mergers and acquisitions, securities, and complex commercial litigation. Patent paralegals at top IP firms can earn 95,000 to 130,000 dollars per year; senior M&A paralegals at large firms earn 90,000 to 125,000 dollars; complex-litigation paralegals earn 80,000 to 110,000 dollars. Practice-area specialization is the biggest driver of paralegal pay; geography is the second.
Are remote paralegals in demand?
Remote paralegals are in high demand, particularly for solo attorneys and small firms that cannot justify a full-time in-house paralegal but still need substantive support. The 2020 shift to remote work normalized cloud-based case management and secure document portals, which removed the practical barriers to remote paralegal engagements. Legal Tank's remote paralegal placements span all 50 states.
What are three things a paralegal cannot do?
A paralegal cannot give legal advice, cannot represent a client in court or in a deposition as the attorney of record, and cannot accept a client engagement or set legal fees without a supervising attorney. These limitations are the same for remote paralegals as for in-house paralegals; the location of the work does not change the unauthorized-practice-of-law restrictions. Legal Tank engagements always include a licensed supervising attorney.
How much is a paralegal per hour?
A paralegal typically bills 50 to 150 dollars per hour, with the higher end for specialty practice areas and senior paralegals. Solo and remote paralegals working directly with attorneys are usually in the 50 to 95 dollar range; large-firm paralegals are billed out at 150 to 250 dollars to clients. Legal Tank's remote paralegal pricing uses flat fees per project so the engaging attorney avoids hourly billing surprises.
