Virtual Paralegal Services™ Careers

Corporate Paralegal (Part-Time Boston)

Career Opportunity

Virtual Paralegal Services™ ("VPS") offers a whole new direction where highly-skilled, experienced paralegals can take their careers.

Outsourcing has become increasingly prevalent in the legal industry. Whether it’s sending work offshore to lawyers in India or outsourcing to a lawyer in the local suburb, companies are welcoming outsourcing as a way to control and drive down costs. As a result, there is a growing trend of very experienced, highly-skilled attorneys leaving the safety of their law firm or in-house positions to pursue a better lifestyle and offer their services independently to companies with or without in-house legal departments. These lawyers are the client base for Virtual Paralegal Services. VPS offers these lawyers the expertise and support that they often had in their large firms or in-house positions without incurring the overhead of such a beneficial resource.

The VPS business model offers an outstanding opportunity to other senior paralegals with 10+ years experience in a specialized certain practice areas (i.e. corporate, litigation, trust & estates, real estate, intellectual property) with a desire for more than a traditional paralegal position can offer. Just like our attorney-counterparts, working with VPS you can make a living offering your expertise and services while pursuing a better lifestyle.

Using VPS’ branding and infrastructure, together with a paralegal’s stellar reputation, marketing can be pretty easy. VPS offers established business operations such as:

• accounting and timekeeping systems
• conflicts file
• marketing procedures (including our marketing consultant and marketing collateral)
• sales database
• web site and branding
• virtual workspace to share information and documents
• general business experience and resources such as access to LeapLaw (a really cool “large law firm” type resource that increases efficiency)
• a knowledgeable network
• affiliation with National Registered Agents, Inc.

In addition to a great billable rate, VPS paralegals also earn a 30% profit margin for the clients they bring in. Working with VPS is like being an independent contractor without being independent.
