Types of work done by freelance lawyers
Freelance attorneys work in numerous practice areas on projects including:
- Appearance work. Freelance attorneys may be hired as appearance council to go to court (for example, going to hearings) on behalf of another lawyer. For this type of role, the freelance lawyer must be licensed in the jurisdiction where they’re making the appearance.
- Written substantive work. This could include research, document review, discovery, or drafting documents. Think motions, writing briefs, or contracts. You may even write law firm marketing blogs.
