Credential Verification

Every Licence & Cert Verified Before Delivery

Unverified candidates never appear on a shortlist. We check directly against the issuing authority, not self-reported documentation.

Bar admission and standing

Attorney admission, good standing and the public disciplinary record are confirmed with the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois before shortlist, and for relocating attorneys we establish which admission route applies and how long it takes.

Court-rule and e-filing testing

Paralegals and legal assistants are tested on the courts your matters actually sit in, including e-filing systems, local rules and deadline computation, because rule fluency is jurisdictional and does not transfer cleanly.

E-discovery platform depth

We record the platform used, Relativity, Everlaw or Disco, and what the candidate did in it: search-term and culling work, privilege logs or production management, since those are different skills.

Conflicts and confidentiality

Conflicts are screened at shortlist rather than at offer, and every candidate is confirmed to have operated under formal client-confidentiality obligations, with FCRA-compliant background checks completed before start.

FAQ

How do you verify Illinois bar admission?

Through the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois, including registration status, good standing and any public discipline. For attorneys admitted elsewhere we establish the applicable Illinois admission route and its timeline before a start date is agreed.

Do you place contract attorneys or document reviewers in Chicago?

No. GlobalCybers places permanent legal professionals only, into firms and in-house departments. Contract review projects and temporary litigation support are outside our model.

What do Chicago legal roles pay?

This page publishes BLS OEWS May 2025 national medians, labelled US: lawyers $159,670, paralegals $62,890 and legal secretaries $55,570. Chicago large-firm scales run well above the national lawyer median, and senior litigation paralegals here command a premium that a national figure will not show.
