Direct Answer

A legal assistant staffing agency recruits the support staff who keep filings on time and calendars correct. GlobalCybers places them permanently onto your payroll rather than as temporary desk cover. Worth knowing before you post the role: 'legal assistant' spans two different BLS occupations, legal secretaries and administrative assistants (SOC 43-6012, $55,570 national median) and paralegal-track legal assistants (SOC 23-2011, $62,890), and candidates use the title for both. We clarify which job you are hiring for, then test e-filing and docketing against your courts. RPO at $2,999/mo, or Direct Hire at 12-20% on a successful hire.

Using temporary legal support?

Need a permanent legal assistant instead of rotating desk cover?

Temporary legal support learns your filing conventions, your attorneys' preferences and your docket practices right up until the assignment ends. In a role where a mis-calendared date is a malpractice exposure, that turnover is not a cost saving. A permanent hire is a one-time fee and keeps the docket in hands that know it.

Credential Verification

Every Licence Verified Before Delivery

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

E-filing and court-rule testing

Filing errors are the failure mode of this role, and they are jurisdictional. We test the actual e-filing systems your matters use, along with deadline calculation and local-rule awareness for your courts, rather than accepting general 'filing experience'.

E-filing systemsLocal rulesDeadline maths

Docketing and calendaring discipline

Docketing is a risk-management function pretending to be an administrative one. We test calendaring logic, how the candidate handles rule-based date computation, and what they do when a date is ambiguous, which is the moment that separates a good docket clerk from a malpractice claim.

DocketingRule-based datesEscalation

Document management and confidentiality

We record the document-management and billing systems actually used, iManage, NetDocuments, Clio or Elite, and screen for confidentiality discipline and conflicts awareness, since legal support staff see privileged material from day one.

Employer Value

An empty legal assistant seat pushes filing and calendaring onto paralegals and attorneys, which is both expensive and exactly where errors start.

48 hrs
Days, not weeks, to fill

A verified 3-5 shortlist of legal assistants lands within 48 hours of a complete brief, instead of the weeks the seat stays uncovered.

100%
Filing tested for your courts

E-filing and docketing are tested against the jurisdictions you actually practise in, so a new assistant files correctly the first week rather than after a missed window.

$0
Upfront on Direct Hire

Pay only when you hire, at 12-20% of first-year salary. RPO is a flat $2,999/month for continuous law & legal hiring, with no per-hire fee.

90 days
A bad fit is not a sunk cost

If a placed legal assistant leaves or is let go within 90 days, we source a replacement free under both models.

Screening & Compliance

Before a legal assistant reaches your shortlist we confirm the licence, safety cards, and right to work, so you take on a fully de-risked hire.

State licence & credentials

Every state licence and certification confirmed active against the issuing authority, never self-reported.

Safety cards

OSHA 10/30 and trade safety cards (e.g. NFPA 70E) verified against DOL-authorised provider records.

Background & drug screening

County, state, and federal checks run FCRA-compliant, plus 5- or 10-panel drug screening aligned to your jobsite policy.

Right-to-work & E-Verify

Form I-9 completed and E-Verify confirmed before start date, so every placement is work-authorized.

Insurance & liability. GlobalCybers carries general and professional liability cover, and every direct-hire placement goes onto your payroll as a W-2 employee, keeping worker-classification risk inside a compliant process.

FAQ

How quickly can you deliver a legal assistant shortlist?

A verified shortlist of 3-5 candidates is delivered within 48 hours of a complete brief, with testing results attached. We need the courts, the e-filing systems, the document-management platform and whether the role is secretarial or paralegal-track.

Do you place temporary legal support staff?

No. GlobalCybers places permanent legal assistants only, as full-time hires onto your payroll. Temporary desk cover and temp-to-hire arrangements are outside our model.

Are you hiring a legal secretary or a paralegal-track legal assistant?

It is worth deciding before posting, because the two sit in different BLS occupations with different pay: legal secretaries and administrative assistants (SOC 43-6012) at a $55,570 national median, and paralegals and legal assistants (SOC 23-2011) at $62,890. Candidates use the same title for both, so we clarify the actual duties with you first and shortlist against those rather than against the words in the posting.

What does the market look like for legal support roles?

Per BLS OEWS May 2025, legal secretary and administrative assistant employment (SOC 43-6012) sits at 156,280 with about 19,600 openings a year against a 5.8% projected decline through 2034. The category is shrinking, but turnover keeps demand steady, and firms competing on filing accuracy rather than headcount tend to pay above the median for docketing depth.
