Why a US paralegal at $60K/year doesn’t add up

A full-time US paralegal costs upwards of $55,000 a year, plus benefits, plus the desk they sit at. A freelance paralegal is cheaper per task, until you factor in re-briefing them on your matters, your formatting preferences and your filing conventions every single time you hand something over. Neither option scales the way a growing practice needs to.

A dedicated remote paralegal through Outsourcey works full-time under your attorneys’ supervision, at a fraction of US costs, and stays on your matters long enough to get good at them. Same person. Every brief. Every filing. Every deadline.

Drafting & documents

  • Drafting pleadings, motions, discovery requests and correspondence (for attorney review)
  • Contract drafting and review support
  • Legal document preparation and formatting
  • Cite-checking, Bluebook formatting and proofreading

Research & discovery

  • Legal research and case-law summaries
  • E-discovery document review and coding
  • Deposition and transcript summaries
  • Records retrieval and organisation
  • Legal transcription services (hearings, depositions, client calls, turned around fast and formatted to your standard)

Case & practice management

  • Case file organisation and maintenance 
  • Court filing preparation and e-filing support
  • Calendaring, deadlines and docketing support
  • Client intake support and conflict-check preparation
  • Billing and time-entry support

The tools they already know: Clio, MyCase, Filevine, NetDocuments, Relativity, and Westlaw/LexisNexis for research support, plus whatever’s already running in your firm. Your legal virtual assistant works inside your systems, under your access controls, not around them.

The one thing every good paralegal cannot do

  • Your virtual paralegal works under your supervision. Every task is delegated by and reviewed by your licensed attorney, who remains fully responsible for the work product. 
  • They do not practise law. No legal advice to clients. No fee-setting. No representation. No independent legal judgement. 
  • Confidentiality is non-negotiable. Paralegals work only in your DMS / practice management system, with nothing stored locally. Every paralegal we place operates inside an ISO 27001:2022-certified environment.
  • Conflicts stay yours to clear. Paralegals gather info and run searches, your lawyers clear them.
  • Disclosure handled properly. ABA Formal Opinion 08-451 confirms offshore legal support is permitted with proper supervision, confidentiality and, where required, client disclosure. 

If a competitor’s pitch skips over this section, that should worry you more than our version reassures you.

Paralegal outsourcing, matched to your practice area

We don’t hand you a generalist and hope for the best. Paralegal outsourcing through Outsourcey means being matched with someone who already knows your corner of the law.

  • Litigation paralegal: discovery, pleadings, trial prep support
  • Immigration paralegal: forms, petitions, case tracking, deadline management
  • Corporate & contracts: contract drafting and review support
  • Real estate & conveyancing
  • Personal injury, family & estate

Plus the specialist support functions that eat the most billable time: legal transcription services, e-discovery document review and coding, and standalone legal research support, all available as dedicated or supplementary capacity.

What does a virtual paralegal cost?

This is the number that makes the whole thing click. A dedicated virtual paralegal through Outsourcey runs from $8–$15 USD per hour, or from roughly $1,390 USD/month full-time, including salary, benefits, payroll, HR and equipment. Compare that to a US paralegal at $55,000–$70,000/year plus benefits, or a freelance paralegal billing $30–$60/hour.

When a virtual paralegal isn’t the right call

 

  • You need someone physically in the building. In-person filings, chambers copies and face-to-face client meetings can’t be done remotely.
  • The work needs a licensed attorney. Anything that’s legal advice or legal judgment stays with your lawyers, not a paralegal, offshore or otherwise.
  • You’ve only got the odd one-off task. A freelance paralegal might suit you better until your volume is steady enough to justify dedicated headcount.
  • Your contracts restrict offshore access to matter data. Some do; check yours, we’ll tell you honestly if we can’t meet it.

Ready to get your attorneys' time back?

Every hour your lawyers spend formatting discovery is an hour they're not billing. It's time to fix that.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a virtual paralegal cost?

Legal process outsourcing rates start from $8 USD/hour, depending on seniority and practice area. Full-time, part-time or ongoing, with no setup fees and no lock-in contract. 

Can an offshore paralegal give legal advice?

No, and no paralegal can, offshore or not. They work under a licensed attorney who reviews the work and remains responsible for it. Giving legal advice or representing clients would be the unauthorized practice of law. Your paralegal prepares; your attorney decides.

Is it ethical to use an offshore paralegal?

Yes, with proper supervision, confidentiality and, where required, client disclosure. ABA Formal Opinion 08-451 addresses offshore legal support directly. Paralegal works under your attorneys’ supervision; you assign and review all work. They are bound by the Outsourcey NDA plus your firm’s own confidentiality agreement.

How do you protect client confidentiality and privilege?

NDAs, restricted access, ISO 27001:2022 facility, USB disabled. Suggested, pending Outsourcey sign-off: no client data on local devices (VDI available); conflict-check support only.

What practice areas do your paralegals cover?

Litigation, immigration, corporate and contracts, real estate, personal injury, family and estate law. We match a paralegal to your specific practice area, not a generalist.

What legal software can they use?

Clio, MyCase, Filevine, NetDocuments, Relativity, and Westlaw/LexisNexis for research support, working inside your own instance, under your access controls.

Do they understand US legal procedure?

Can they help with court filing?

They prepare and support e-filing under your supervision, including assembling documents, formatting to court rules, and managing deadlines. Your attorney of record reviews and authorises every filing. In-person filings need local staff.

How fast can we get a paralegal started?

Two weeks, start to finish. Recruitment and testing take 7–10 days, you interview, then onboarding, NDAs and system access take another 2–3 days.

What if the analyst isn't a good fit?

No lock-in, 30 days notice, performance management via your Client Success Partner, and recruitment repeats until you are 100% satisfied. Free replacement if a hire is not the right fit.
