How to Become a Freelance Lawyer: Rates, Contracts, Legal Ethics and More

July 20, 2017

Attorneys seeking career flexibility, the elusive “career/life balance,” or a variety of income sources often consider handling freelance legal projects for other law firms.  On Friday, August 11th, Erin Giglia will be providing a free webinar for the American Bar Association’s Career Advice Series from 1-2pm, Eastern.  The program, “How to Become a Freelance Lawyer: Rates, Contracts, Legal Ethics and More,” will address starting a freelance legal practice, including setting rates, practical tips, pitfalls to avoid, and ethics issues.

To register, visit the ABA’s Career Advice Series webpage or click on the link below.

Erin practiced for eight years before she co-founded Montage Legal Group in 2009. Montage is a network of freelance attorneys who opted out of the traditional law firm model in favor of career flexibility. 

Erin is a frequent writer and speaker on legal outsourcing, work-life balance, women in law, networking, legal ethics and contract attorneys and has been featured in several media outlets. She has been recognized as one of OC Metro Magazine’s 2011 Top 40 under 40, and was honored with Enterprising Women Magazine’s 2014 Enterprising Women of the Year Award. In 2014, Erin and Montage Legal Group were featured on Forbes.com in an article titled “How Two Stay-at-Home Moms Are Changing the Legal Industry.” In 2015, Erin and Montage were featured in “Disruptive Innovation: New Models of Legal Practice” by UC Hastings Work Life Law Center.  

You can read a recently published article written by Erin and her Montage co-founder, Laurie Rowen, on how growing firms can take advantage of freelance attorneys and Of Counsel positions:  Stay Ethical While Growing  Your Firm (Law Practice Today, July 14, 2017).
