Contract Attorney Services

Is it difficult to find a dependable associate? Does your workload fluctuate? Do you have more work than you are comfortable with but not enough to hire a new attorney? Do you have a big case coming up? Are you tired of sending out referrals because you are not familiar with that area of the law? If you answered yes to any of these questions it is time to consider New Jersey Legal. NJ Legal can offer attorneys services ranging from document review to more traditional services such as deposition and motion attendance and research and writing.

Document Review

New Jersey Legal offers contract attorney services to law firms and corporate legal departments to perform large scale document review and other legal work such as research and writing briefs. New Jersey Legal can manage these document reviews on-site or off-site depending on your preference. These large scale document reviews can reduce your operational cost and allow you to be more proficient with your legal case by spending more time with clients and addressing more important matters. Contract attorney services open up new possibilities as you are no longer limited to your current in-house talent pool. The contract attorneys are trained in Summation, Concordance and other on-line review tools that will completely eliminate any training on your part. We will interview and select the most qualified candidates based upon your preferences and specialized practice areas or we will supply resumes so that you may make the selection.

Available contract attorneys can be fluent in one or more languages. Projects with respect to pricing will vary based on the level of review and required qualifications of our contract attorneys.

Most often attorneys are bombarded in paper documents that need to be reviewed and forwarded to opposing counsel or organized for their own particular case. New Jersey Legal can offer attorneys to review these voluminous documents for relevance, first and second privileges and to create privilege logs. In turn, New Jersey Legal can then copy these documents per your request, whether you request simple copies, bate stamps, or computer scanning into one of our numerous legal software programs. New Jersey Legal is here for all of your legal needs.

Contract attorneys may also use the On-Line Review Tool (ORT) that allows data to be loaded into our secure online database allowing users to view, sort, report, index and code documents. ORT allows full text, index, and metadata searching. By using our contract attorney staffing, documents can be marked as relevant, to-be-produced, privileged, expert, etc.
