hire paralegals in africa

Law firms and legal departments hire a paralegal when lawyers spend too much time on research, filings and file management instead of advising clients. A good paralegal never misses a deadline, produces clean first drafts and handles registries and formalities without supervision.

A few questions, one at a time, then pick a time for a free 30-minute strategy call with our team.

What to check when screening

  • Ask which formalities they handle alone, such as company registrations, amendments or court filings.
  • Give a short drafting test, for example a standard letter or a contract clause.
  • Check how they track deadlines across many files.
  • Check their discretion and how they handle confidential documents.

Questions to ask in interview

  • You notice a filing deadline tomorrow that nobody has prepared for. What do you do?
  • How do you organise a file so that someone else can take it over?
  • Tell me about a piece of legal research you did. How did you check your sources?
