Vetted paralegals, legal assistants, contract reviewers, e-discovery and document review specialists embedded with your firm or in-house team — starting from $8 per hour, with a 48-hour shortlist and 5-day free trial.
Available Candidates
Pre-vetted professionals ready to start
Your attorneys shouldn't be reviewing NDAs at $400/hr. Zedtreeo gives you a vetted legal operations team — faster turnaround, lower cost per matter, and attorney time reclaimed for advisory work.
Share your practice area (contracts, litigation, IP, compliance). We return 2–3 pre-vetted candidates inside 48 hours — each tested on drafting, doc review accuracy, and relevant law basics.
A US paralegal costs $78K+ fully loaded. A Zedtreeo paralegal starts at $1,280/month. A 4-paralegal team saves your firm $300K+ annually — margin that drops straight to the partners.
Mutual NDA, confidentiality clauses, ISO 27001 infrastructure, VPN-only access to case files, audit-logged systems, and privilege-aware workflows. We're built to handle sensitive legal work.
Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, NetDocuments, iManage, Relativity, Logikcull, DocuSign, ContractPodAi, LexisNexis, Westlaw — we match on tool fluency, not just 'paralegal experience'.

Real clients. Real outcomes. Real savings.

Read case study →A UK SaaS in-house legal team had a 400-contract backlog and 30-day NDA turnaround. A Zedtreeo contract-review pod cleared the backlog in 6 weeks and cut NDA turnaround to 48 hours.
Read case study →An Australian boutique firm won a large commercial litigation with 180K documents to review. A Zedtreeo e-discovery team delivered first-pass review at 38% of onshore quotes, within deadline.

"My partners were drafting NDAs at $400/hr. Now Zedtreeo paralegals handle them and my partners bill advisory hours. Realization rate is up, profit-per-partner is up."
"Our contract backlog was embarrassing. The Zedtreeo team cleared it in six weeks and now processes everything at 48-hour turnaround. Sales finally stopped complaining."
"Big commercial litigation used to mean declining matters over budget. Zedtreeo made that capacity affordable. We won the case and the client noticed the margin."
Everything operators ask before hiring a legal staff from Zedtreeo.
Zedtreeo remote legal staff start from $8/hour ($1,280/month, $15,360/year). Entry-level paralegals and doc review specialists sit at the base rate; senior paralegals and contract reviewers with niche expertise (M&A, IP, privacy) sit higher. Total cost is 70–90% below onshore.
Paralegals, legal assistants, contract reviewers, contract drafters, e-discovery specialists, doc review attorneys (non-US-bar), legal researchers, compliance analysts, IP/trademark filing specialists, litigation support, and legal billing admins.
Mutual NDA and confidentiality agreements at contract, ISO 27001-certified infrastructure, VPN-only access to case files, role-based permissions in your DMS, audit logs on every file access, no external drives, and privilege-aware workflows. We train staff specifically on US/UK/AU attorney-client privilege rules.
Yes — for support work. Our paralegals assist with case preparation, doc review, deposition summaries, e-discovery, and filing support. They don't practice law or sign filings — that stays with your licensed attorneys. This is the standard model for LPO (legal process outsourcing).
Shortlist in 48 hours. Skills test and interview within 3–5 days (we test on actual contract review, not theoretical questions). Onboarded in your DMS/case management tool within 7–10 business days. For urgent doc review matters we can stand up a 5-person team in 10 days.
Yes. We match on practice area (contracts, litigation, IP, privacy, corporate, real estate) and on software (Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, NetDocuments, iManage, Relativity, Logikcull). If you're a Relativity shop, your shortlist is pre-filtered for Relativity-certified staff.
US, UK, and AU ethics rules generally permit outsourcing legal support work provided the attorney supervises, client informed consent is obtained where required (varies by jurisdiction), fees are not marked up to the client, and confidentiality is maintained. We operate within these frameworks. Consult your jurisdiction's rules for specifics.
Yes. E-discovery and doc review are the most common flex-capacity use cases. We can pre-stage 10–20 trained reviewers within 5–7 business days, run them for the duration of the matter, and demobilize when the project ends. You pay only for active capacity.
Get a curated shortlist in 48 hours. 5-day free trial. No long-term contract. Starting from $8 per hour.
Build out your full remote team, one specialist at a time.
