Frequently Asked Questions

Incubator

Our rate is $8/HR for the Incubator. We only charge $5/HR on the first month.


A fun fact on the rates, most of our clients actually volunteer to charge theregular Incubator rate after just two weeks of engagement since they see the
great value in working with a Juris Doctor (JD) graduate and/or a JD Student.

You’ll get either a JD Graduate or a JD Student with excellent English spoken and written skills. That is the only core qualification.

The first 30 days is the most crucial period that will determine whether your
hire will succeed or not. In the first 30 days of the engagement, Law Firm Cat
will provide free internal training to the VLA together with your internal
onboarding.

 

The training program will teach the agent the following skills:

 

  • Phone reception
  • Administrative tasks
  • Legal Drafting (Format & Automations)
  • Legal research (Tools training for Westlaw and Lexis Nexis)
  • Procedural Laws working knowledge ( American Legal systems, Basic
  • Criminal procedure, and Basic Civil procedure)
  • Legal Ethics & Data Security

Talents under the incubator program are highly driven and a good match for a
firm that is still a newbie in growing his or her team. They are highly driven
since they have a lot to prove regarding their lack of foreign law firm
experience. Picture a hungry young wolf who is ready to pounce on whatever
challenges are thrown at them.

 

Not to mention the fact that you’ll get intensive training support from Law
Firm Cat. The incubator talent will be trained by both the management and
the lawyer-client. The internal training hours are on us. No fee on that,
guaranteed.

The best way to do it is to hire a part-time Accelerated talent and a part-time
incubator talent. Aside from the extensive internal training Law Firm Cat will provide the incubator talent, the Accelerated talent will also help get the
inexperienced buddy get onboarded fast on your specialization.

4 hours/day or 20 hours/week is the minimum. We’ll accept 2 hours/day but
only on the first 2 weeks of the engagement.

We’ll replace it with someone who’d fit best for you factoring in what went
wrong with the previous hire based on your firm’s context.

Frequently Asked Questions

Accelerated

The rate starts at $10/HR and could go up to $15/HR for very specific and
competitive posts. (Years of experience & Highly Technical Skills).

 

e.g. A Virtual Legal Assistant with at least 1 year of US Criminal Law Litigation
experience in New York costs around $10-12/HR.

You’ll get either a Juris Doctor (JD) Graduate, JD student, or an experienced
VLA based on your specialization or the job description. They all have US Law
Firm experience under your firm’s specialization.

You’ll get a rigorous talent matching and recruitment process tailored fit to
your current needs or specialization. We guarantee that the agents are
competent and vetted. We also provide internal leadership training to these
talents to prepare them for higher-level roles in your law firm.

 

Note: All clients for the Incubator and Accelerated Program will get account
management support, IT support, additional training support, and talent
vetting.

Obviously, the experience is the number 1 advantage. If given the chance, the
Accelerated talents are actually ready to take on leadership roles for your law
firm.

Yes, that’s possible. The best way to do it is either your first hire is an
Accelerated talent and then, later on, hire an incubator talent. It is also possible
to arrange tag team services of Incubator and Accelerated. You’ll pay the
Accelerated talent full-time while the Incubator talent will be on a discounted
trainee rate.

4 hours/day or up to 20 hours/week. We’ll accept 2 hours/day but only on the
first 2 weeks of the engagement.

We’ll replace it with someone who’d fit best for you factoring in what went
wrong with the previous hire based on your firm’s context.
