2020 when the pandemic came and shook up our world, law
firms were forced to figure out how to continue to operate with their people at
home.
Although freelance paralegals existed over a decade before 2020, the pandemic truly “blew up” the freelance
paralegal industry.
Now, paralegals have immense opportunity to hang up their
employee hat, open up a business, and start commanding $60 per hour + rates as
independent contractors, set their own schedules, and become an established and
known expert within the industry.
Since then (and even before then), many paralegals or other
legal and non-legal entrepreneurs have gone on to open staffing agencies,
offering freelance paralegals, legal assistants, and general virtual assistant
services to attorneys across the United States.

2020.
With that comes the question: Is freelancing as a paralegal
independently or joining an agency better?
Let’s dive in and evaluate the pros and cons between
independently freelancing as a paralegal or joining a paralegal agency.
