What billable hours back are worth.

Before you compare prices, count what admin costs your attorneys right now.

What a US hire costs

What doing it yourself costs

Every hour an attorney spends on admin is an hour not billed.

What a slow intake costs

A potential client who calls three firms and hires the one that called back first.

What this costs instead

The same work, up to 75% less, with no placement fee and no minimum term.

How payment works.

You only ever pay Mate&Work, never the talent. No payroll, no contracts, no hidden fees.

Discovery call on us

On the call we scope the role, write the profile and benchmark the budget against real market rates, then hand-match your shortlist. All of it before you pay anything toward the search.

Before you hire

Questions owners ask before hiring law firm staff.

The role
1.What does a remote legal assistant do?
They handle client intake, manage calendars and deadlines, keep clients updated, prepare documents for attorney review, send engagement letters for signature and keep billing moving. They do administrative work only and never give legal advice. At Mate&Work you are hiring a dedicated professional into a role, working inside your practice software from week one.
2.Which practice areas use this role?
Immigration, personal injury, family, estate planning, traffic and tenant law firms most often, especially those serving Spanish-speaking clients.
3.Which legal software do they use?
Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther and Lawmatics most often, plus DocuSign and Microsoft 365. Tell us your stack and we screen for it.
4.Can they talk with Spanish-speaking clients?
Yes. Every legal assistant works in English and Spanish, which is often the reason firms hire through us. See the bilingual assistant role.
Finding your hire
5.How fast do I get candidates?
Mate&Work delivers 3 to 5 vetted candidates in 2 to 5 business days. Because our professionals sit between GMT-3 and GMT-6, the working day overlaps yours end to end, including a 9am Pacific call. See how it has gone for other companies.
6.How are the legal assistants vetted?
Four stages before anyone reaches your shortlist: an interviewed and scored English and communication test, an experience review against a relevant track record, a skills assessment on real legal admin tasks, and reference checks confirming past performance. Only the top 3% of applicants make it through.
Cost and commitment
7.How much does it cost to hire a legal assistant?
A dedicated legal assistant from Mate&Work costs up to 75 percent less than the same role hired in the United States. For comparison, the United States median wage for legal secretaries and administrative assistants was $55,570 a year in May 2025 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and that is base pay before payroll taxes, benefits, software seats and equipment. Your exact price depends on full-time or part-time, experience level and English level. See live pricing by role.
8.Am I hiring a person or buying a service?
With Mate&Work you are hiring a person into a role. One professional based in Latin America, dedicated to your company, on your schedule. You keep them for as long as the role is useful to you, with no minimum term and no locked contract. See how it works.
