Why a legal flex pool with freelance lawyers actually works

Legal workloads are unpredictable. One month is quiet, the next you're neck-deep in projects. Many organisations rely on ad hoc hiring to cope, but that often leads to delays and hassle. The smarter alternative? Build your own freelance pool. Here’s why more and more companies are doing just that.

1. Always ready to scale

With a dedicated group of freelance lawyers, you’re never left scrambling. You can scale up instantly, no need to start a new search every time.

2. Less explaining, more doing

Lawyers in your pool know your business and your way of working. That means more continuity, better quality, and less time spent on onboarding.

3. Pay only for what you use

No fixed contracts or unnecessary overhead. You bring people in when you need them, and that saves serious costs.

4. Every expertise at your fingertips

Instead of hunting for specialists on every new project, you’ve got a full range of legal expertise ready to go. All in one pool.

5. One contact, no confusion

No more scattered communication. You agree with your pool manager what needs to be done—and the right lawyer picks it up.

6. Source directly (without an agency)

You can add lawyers to your pool yourself. It’s faster and more cost-effective. And through the Lawyerlinq platform, you still get access to all the big agencies, without having to call them one by one.

7. Less admin

Contracts, payments, time tracking—it’s all handled in one platform. You stay focused on the work. We handle the rest.
