Common Questions (Real Answers)
Questions about Flexibility & Talent
Can I hire someone for just 5–10 hours a month?
Absolutely! Scale your legal support up or down exactly when you need it—busy product launches, fundraising sprints, or quiet months. Zero penalties, total flexibility.
What if I need specialized expertise (privacy, IP, employment)?
We’ve got you covered. Just tell us your need, and we’ll instantly connect you with an expert attorney specialized in exactly what you require.
Can we convert a Lawtrades contractor into a permanent hire later on?
Yes, seamlessly. Lots of clients start out hiring talent on a contract basis, then transition them into full-time roles once they know it’s a great fit.
Questions about Speed & Integration
We have urgent work—can someone jump in quickly?
Definitely. Most talent on our platform responds within hours. Let us know if something’s super urgent—we’ll fast-track the match.
Will the talent use our Slack, Zoom, email, etc.?
Yes. They’ll fully embed with your team’s workflow, whether that’s Slack, Zoom calls, shared docs, or whatever tool you love most.
Questions about Costs & Budgeting
Are there hidden fees we should know about?
No surprises here. Just clear, upfront hourly rates and transparent invoicing. No “management” fees or tricky add-ons—ever.
What if we don’t use all the hours we buy upfront?
You’re in control: roll leftover hours forward, apply them to another project, or get a straightforward refund.
How do we keep our budget under control?
Easy. Our dashboard lets you see real-time spending, and your dedicated account manager can alert you if you’re nearing your budget threshold.

How do you handle sensitive information?
We take security seriously: strict NDAs, encrypted file transfers, and fully vetted attorneys bound by professional confidentiality.
Can attorneys complete our vendor security questionnaires?
Sure thing. Our attorneys regularly handle client-specific compliance and security forms—just send them our way.
