Montage Legal Group, Irvine, CA (2025)

06/23/2025

Because agility, specialization, and efficiency aren’t just buzzwords—they’re what modern firms need to stay competitive.

Today’s legal landscape is fast-paced and high-stakes. Clients expect faster turnarounds, leaner teams, and deep expertise. But full-time hiring isn’t always the answer—freelance lawyers are.

Here’s why top-tier firms are turning to freelance legal talent:

✅ Scalability – Handle overflow work during peak times without long-term commitments
✅ Cost-efficiency – Reduce overhead while maintaining top-tier legal standards
✅ Specialized skills – Bring in experts for niche matters without needing a full department
✅ Speed – Freelancers can be onboarded fast and integrated seamlessly
✅ Flexibility – Tackle short-term projects, urgent deadlines, or client surprises with confidence

Freelance doesn’t mean lower quality. In fact, many freelance lawyers are former Big Law associates, in-house counsel, or experienced specialists looking for more flexibility.

Stop Doing It All: Smart Ways to Delegate to Freelance Lawyers

If you’re a lawyer who struggles to delegate, you’re not alone. In fact, reluctance to delegate is one of the top reasons attorneys hesitate to use freelance legal support—even when they’re buried in work and know they need help.

We understand the hesitation. You’re managing high-stakes matters, tight deadlines, and clients who expect nothing short of excellence. Delegating can feel risky—so you just do the project yourself. You promise you’ll delegate next time. But the reality is, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, you probably needed help yesterday.

Delegation isn’t about giving up control—it’s about making space for your highest-value work. Here’s how to start delegating effectively and confidently, one small step at a time:

Start with something low-stakes
Don’t start by handing over your most complex case or most high-maintenance client. Instead, pick something straightforward: a research memo, discovery responses, cite-checking, organizing exhibits. Something that takes time but doesn’t require tons of nuance. That way, you get a feel for the process without the pressure. I always recommend a slow, cautious start. Once you get comfortable with the freelance lawyer and their work, then you can move up to bigger assignments.

Sure, we could have 20,000 lawyers on our platform. But that was never the goal.

At Montage, we’ve deliberately chosen a different path—one rooted in selectivity, not scale.

Every freelance attorney in our network has a minimum of five years of full-time legal experience, though most have well over a decade, averaging closer to 15 years in practice. Our attorneys have been trained at the nation’s top law firms, such as Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, O’Melveny and Myers, and Latham & Watkins. Many have also worked in the in-house legal departments of Fortune 500 companies, and are graduates of prestigious law schools like Harvard Law and Stanford Law.

And then we take it a step further. We don’t just match résumés to job descriptions. We get to know our freelance attorneys personally. We understand their strengths, their preferences, their bandwidth. When a law firm needs something specific, we can point them in the right direction.

The world of freelance legal services has grown a lot since we launched Montage Legal Group back in 2009. These days, there are more platforms, more marketplaces, more ways for law firms to connect with freelance attorneys.

And that’s a good thing. The industry is shifting, and flexible legal talent is no longer a novelty—it’s a smart business strategy.

But Montage isn’t just another platform. We’re not a gig economy app. We’re not AI matchmaking. And we’re not trying to be the Uber of legal services.

We’re something different. Deliberately different.

When hiring a freelance attorney, it’s not just about credentials—it’s about connection.

Here’s why clear, consistent communication matters:

🕒 Efficiency: Freelancers often jump into projects midstream. Clear instructions and expectations save time, reduce back-and-forth, and keep things moving fast.

📑 Accuracy: Whether it’s drafting contracts or researching case law, the more context your freelance lawyer has, the better the work product.

🤝 Trust: Freelancers aren’t in the office down the hall—they rely on great communication to build confidence, show transparency, and prove their value.

Working with a freelance lawyer can be incredibly effective—but it’s a partnership. And like any good relationship, it all comes down to how well you communicate.

Hiring remote freelance lawyers expands a firm’s access to top talent across jurisdictions, time zones, and practice areas – while maintaining the status quo and not hiring full-time.

This really is win win.
