An Efficient Way to Outsource Legal Work

As a general counsel you undoubtedly have numerous connections in the legal field, but that doesn’t mean you should not utilize every tool at your disposal to find the right law firm at the most competitive price to outsource work to. Legal River is an anonymous, non-binding platform to post your Request For Proposals (RFP’s). The lawyers and law firms responding to your proposal won’t see the name of your company, nor are you under any commitment to retain one of the lawyers or firms that responds to your RFP.

The Specialization of Law

Law is becoming more and more specialized, and when you need to outsource work, finding a lawyer who specializes in just what you’re looking for is growing ever more challenging. Don’t settle for a lawyer who doesn’t have the knowledge and experience you are looking for. Utilize Legal River to find the right lawyer with the right experience.

Leverage Legal River to Expand Your Personal Network

If you are outsourcing a large amount of legal work, it makes good business sense to be engaging several law firms. No one knows what the future holds, and developing relationships with multiple firms can help you down the road no matter what happens to your company, or the firms you are working with. Legal River is an ideal solution to find new firms who are interested in working with your company.

Yes. With Legal River your contact information is redacted so no attorneys are going to be able to see your information. Lawyers will see characteristics of your business, in order to know if they are right or not, but they will never see your contact information.

Legal River’s signup process takes about 5 minutes to complete. We have worked with many attorneys and know the questions they need to have answered to better understand if they are the right attorney for your issue. So simply answer a few of our targeted questions and then describe your legal issue in your own words and you are on your way to posting an issue.

Legal River allows businesses to use their Request for Proposal (RFP) system for free by charging the lawyers a small advertising fee to respond to your issue. While any lawyer who is in good standing with their bar association can join Legal River, the lawyer has to pay a small advertising fee to respond to your issue. This is important for two reasons. First, because we operate under a pay per contact system and don’t require any membership or subscription fees, Legal River is able to attract a wide variety of lawyers and thus we will have the right lawyer for you. Second, because there is a fee involved, you will not be spammed by lawyers who are not right for you. Attorneys will self-select and only those who think they can add value will respond to your issue.

While some may have a network vast enough to find a lawyer to handle every specialized legal issue, most of us just do not have that network. Most legal issues are time sensitive and cannot be put off for weeks while we ask around for recommendations. With Legal River there is a controlled feedback loop so that previous businesses who have interacted with an attorney can leave qualitative feedback. With Legal River you can have the comfort of a personal referral without the hassle of waiting.

The internet is crowded with legal sites, most of which do not provide any value. Many of them are glorified yellow pages, in which it is up to the business to look through attorney listings. Those listing do not tell you how much that lawyer charges or even if that lawyer is currently available to work with your business. Even after you spend hours of your valuable time going through the listings you still need to call or email each lawyer to see if they meet your needs, are within your price range and currently available, repeating your needs with each interview. With Legal River’s Request for Proposal (RFP) system, you can do this just once and let the lawyers compete over you.
