Flexible legal talent eases department backlog
A consumer-packaged goods company was facing a growing backlog in its legal department due to employee leaves and increased workload. The organization needed immediate support from experienced legal professionals who could step in quickly and manage ongoing matters without disrupting operations. With limited internal bandwidth and a need for cost-effective solutions, the company turned to Robert Half for help.
Robert Half’s legal recruitment team worked closely with the client to understand their workload challenges and staffing gaps. We presented a shortlist of highly skilled remote contract lawyers who could begin work immediately. In addition to the initial placement, we identified additional candidates to support broader departmental needs, ensuring the legal team had the resources to stay on track.
The client hired two contract lawyers who provided critical support across multiple legal functions. This flexible staffing solution helped the company reduce its reliance on costly outside counsel and allowed internal teams to complete projects more efficiently.
The client praised the speed and quality of the placements and continues to rely on Robert Half for scalable legal staffing solutions.
On-demand legal support for public sector projects
A large school district needed short-term legal support to manage a growing workload and complete special projects—without adding permanent headcount. The internal legal team was stretched thin, and the district required experienced professionals who could step in quickly and handle a variety of legal matters.
Robert Half’s legal recruiters activated a network of pre-vetted contract professionals who were available to start immediately. Within days, we placed several remote legal professionals and continued to identify additional candidates over the following week to meet the district’s evolving needs.
Robert Half provided 15 contract lawyers who helped reduce the workload on internal staff and supported key legal functions, including negotiating agreements, managing labour and employment claims, and handling personal injury litigation. The client reported a 45% reduction in outside legal fees and continues to engage Robert Half for flexible, cost-effective legal staffing.
Contract-to-hire legal talent keeps cases moving
A full-service law firm was struggling to fill several vacant legal roles, which were impacting client service and delaying case progress. The firm needed skilled legal professionals who could step into active matters mid-project and provide immediate support—ideally with the potential to transition into permanent roles.
Robert Half partnered with the firm to identify contract-to-hire professionals with the right mix of legal expertise and adaptability. Our recruiters sourced candidates with experience in case management, law clerking, and legal administration, ensuring they could contribute from day one.
Over a two-year period, Robert Half placed 13 legal professionals who helped the firm maintain continuity, manage caseloads, and deliver consistent client service. The contract-to-hire model allowed the firm to assess fit before making permanent offers, creating a reliable pipeline of legal talent. The firm now views Robert Half as a trusted partner for ongoing legal staffing needs.
