What they take off your plate
The work that piles up every week.
Legal administration is one of the most document-intensive workflows in any professional services business. With hourly rates high and time precious, offshoring the support layer is increasingly standard practice for forward-thinking Australian law firms.

Using something else? Tell us at the brief and we'll shortlist people who know it.
Can offshore staff practise law in Australia?
No — and we're clear about this. Offshore legal support roles are non-practising administrative and research positions. All legal advice and practitioner responsibilities remain with your Australian-admitted solicitors.
How is client confidentiality maintained?
Offshore staff sign comprehensive NDAs and operate within your firm's document management systems under your access controls. We recommend using role-based access and anonymising sensitive documents where possible.
What practice management software do your legal candidates know?
Common platforms include LEAP, Actionstep, SILQ, FilePro, and Clio. We match candidates to your PMS and provide onboarding training on your specific workflows and matter structure.
Can offshore staff handle client communications?
Yes, for administrative matters — appointment scheduling, document requests, status updates, and intake. Any substantive legal communication stays with your admitted practitioners.
Is this suitable for boutique firms or only large practices?
Both. Boutique firms often benefit most because a single offshore hire can take 60–70% of admin off a sole practitioner's plate, dramatically improving billable utilisation without the cost of a full-time local PA.
