Features & pricing

You set the rate. Pay only for hours used

Hourly rates are set by experience level and the work involved. You're billed weekly for actual time logged, and you re-bill your clients at your own rates.

Rates from $90+/hr

Rates are set by experience: Junior $90–120/hr, Mid-level $120–160/hr, and Senior $160+/hr. You set the rate when you post the job.

Evergreen retainer

Fund a retainer equal to the greater of $1,000 or your hourly rate × max weekly hours. It reloads automatically as work is used, so you only ever pay for the hours your associate actually logs.

Weekly billing

You're billed weekly for actual time logged, and you re-bill your clients at your own rates. No fixed weekly minimum.

An Hourly Associate is a verified remote attorney you hire on an hourly basis, for as many or as few hours as you need. They work under your supervision on research, drafting, discovery, depositions, client meetings, and court assistance, billed by the hour with no long-term commitment.

A subscription reserves a set block of hours each month at a fixed price. Hourly is pure pay-as-you-go: you fund a retainer, your associate logs time, and you're billed weekly only for the hours actually used. No fixed weekly minimum.

A Remote Associate is a bar-admitted, supervised freelance attorney who integrates into your practice and works under your direction, without the overhead of a full-time hire. Hourly is one of the ways to engage one.

Rates are set by experience: Junior $90–120/hr, Mid-level $120–160/hr, and Senior $160+/hr. You set the rate when you post the job, and you re-bill your clients at your own rates.

You fund a retainer equal to the greater of $1,000 or your hourly rate × max weekly hours. It's evergreen: as your associate logs time and you pay weekly, the retainer reloads so funds are always available for ongoing work.

No. You set an estimated monthly range when posting, but there's no fixed weekly minimum. Use as many or as few hours as the matter requires.
