Are attorneys at legal temp staffing agencies helpful to law firms?

Legal Temp Staffing

Legal temp staffing is used by firms that need additional temporary attorneys for help on extensive cases, such as cases involving mergers and acquisitions. While temporary attorneys might be used to fill in for attorneys on lengthy leaves, they are more commonly used to help firms review documents.

A temporary attorney from a legal temp staffing agency provides experienced document review services in his field of specialty. Retaining a temporary attorney allows smaller firms to take larger cases, wherein the small firm may not have been able to accept such a case. Retaining a temporary attorney is also beneficial to larger firms, as the attorneys on the case can concentrate on other issues in the case or on working with other clients.

During the discovery process, documents must be reviewed for content before being forwarded to the opposing counsel. Some documents are non-discoverable because of confidentiality issues, such as attorney-client privilege.
