Law firms and corporations turn to temporary legal staffing firms for a variety of reasons. But in each case, the decision to contract with a staffing firm is based on the simplification that it brings to hiring specialized personnel. Any law firm or corporation could do what a temporary legal staffing company does, but doing so would take significantly more time and potentially result in hiring staff that don't offer the ideal expertise or personal disposition. Below, we look at three common ways that temporary legal staffing companies benefit their clients in terms of specialized services.National Legal Staffing Support


Court Reporting

Although court cases are largely defined by the ability of attorneys to present a convincing case, they are also defined by the quality of legal professionals that operate behind the scenes, one of which is a court reporter. In many court cases, the strength of an attorney's case is defined by deposition evidence, which means that a top rate deposition reporter should be retained to ensure the technical quality of depositions. A technically astute court reporter can offer the following two depositions services, which are essential to presenting a video deposition to a jury in the most favorable manner: video text synchronization and text synching. Top rate court reporters also offer real time reporting, where the transcript of deposition is streamed electronically to remote locations as it is recorded.

Complex Litigation Support Services

There are numerous factors that identify complex litigation, but the three most common factors are: a short timeframe within in which to prepare for a case; an inordinate amount of technical/scientific information surrounding a case; and an inordinate amount of deponents in a case, many of whom offer conflicting accounts. In such situations, attorneys seldom have enough time to handle the technicalities of a case and still prepare a convincing case strategy, which makes hiring a team of complex litigation supporters a necessity. Depending on an attorney's needs, complex litigation supporters can provide everything from document retrieval services to complex analysis of scientific evidence.
