Freelancer Fees
All of our freelancers set their own rates.
Generally, a freelance lawyer will charge a rate that is below market value or below the hiring lawyer’s rate. This way, the hiring lawyer can see a direct profit from the freelance lawyer’s work by marking up the freelancer’s hourly rate to the end client.
