Dovetail provides paralegals either as a:-

Service provider

  • Not your employee
  • Completely flexible basis – one day through to a year
  • Costs c. $55+GST per hour/ $440+GST per day. That includes all costs and fees

Your employee – either a fixed term contract or permanent

  • An employee on your headcount and using your employment contract
  • We source you the best paralegal for your task and your budget
  • Cost – Typically $80K to $120K inc super plus our fee of only c. $1.5K per month

When budgets are tight, grunt work high, and the ability to quickly engage and disengage is paramount, paralegals can provide the ideal solution
