Arrangement benefits clients, hiring attorneys and freelance attorneys
Portland, ME and Dayton, OH – March 24, 2014 – Custom Counsel http://customcounsel.com/, a leading provider of freelance attorneys, and Curo Legal https://curolegal.com, a practice operations firm focused on creating greater efficiencies and profitability for law firms, announced today that they have entered into a strategic partnership to provide a flexible business model alternative for practicing attorneys.
“Freelancing allows skilled lawyers to do substantive legal work on their own terms,” said Custom Counsel founder, Nicole Bradick. “Law firms, solo practitioners and in-house legal departments benefit by being able to plug in experienced freelancers 
when there is an overflow of work, deepening their bench without the additional overhead.”
Custom Counsel has a vast nationwide network of skilled attorneys available to provide legal services on an as-needed basis. Custom Counsel’s freelance attorneys come from some of the best law firms in the country and have between 5 and 25 years of legal experience.
“Curo Legal and Custom Counsel share the same mission – to help solos and firms evolve their practices so that they stay lean and remain profitable,” says Bradick. “We look forward to bringing our expertise in agile staffing to Curo’s forward-looking clients. Curo’s clients can turn to Custom Counsel to ably pitch in when the work load picks up, to engage local counsel, and/or to add subject matter specialists to fill gaps in their team.“
Curo Legal CEO Chad Burton says that partnering with Custom Counsel adds to their ability to help solos and small firms by building a foundation for handling workflow profitably, with both short- and long-term goals in mind. “Having the ability to provide our solo and small-firm clients with additional benefits as it relates to effectively and profitably managing workload ties directly into our strategy,” Burton said. “The model that Nicole has created with Custom Counsel just makes sense for so many reasons, and it is a perfect addition to the service offerings we have in place at Curo.”
