CASE STUDIES
Lawyer in a Bind
NEED MORE TIME
A Toronto litigation lawyer was preparing for a complex summary judgment motion that was less than a week away. He wanted to focus on his oral argument but he also needed to review his dockets and prepare a detailed costs outline.
After contacting Flex Legal, we were able to match him with a junior freelance lawyer who started work on the costs outline the very next day, freeing up time for the hiring lawyer to focus on what he was good at: advocating for his client.
The Feedback
“The Flex Legal Freelancer did great work. I’m sure you hear this a lot but you and Flex are lifesavers.”
Lawyer with New Solo Practice
SUPPORT & GUIDANCE
When lawyers hang up their own shingle it can be a bit overwhelming. Many lack the resources to hire full-time support staff and they face a steep learning curve. Law school prepares lawyers to practice law, not necessarily how to run a business. Suddenly lawyers are faced with the stress of not only knowing the law, but also understanding the many administrative tasks, including court processes, required for their clients’ files.
Flex Legal was happy to assist a lawyer when she reached out for legal support assistance in the early days after opening her own law firm. We were able to match her with a mid-level litigation law clerk to support her practice and make sure her court documents were accurately filed.
The Feedback
“The Flex Legal Freelancer is a wealth of knowledge… She has helped tremendously with taking a weight off my shoulder, which has freed up other time to work on billable hours.”

EXTRA ASSISTANCE FOR TRIAL PREPARATION
A prominent mid-sized litigation boutique based in Ottawa was facing a weeks-long class action trial. They were already working at capacity and knew that they needed more hands-on help to prepare.
Flex Legal matched them with one of our freelance litigators who has several years of litigation and trial experience gained at top law firms. She was able to jump in and assist with reviewing documents, providing legal analysis, and preparing documents for trial (ex affidavits, books of documents, etc).
The Feedback
“The Flex Legal Freelancer became a valuable member of our team from the get-go. Her trial preparation experience and her infinite flexibility helped her blend seamlessly.”
