Obelisk Support has added 50 paralegals and junior lawyers to its existing pool of more than 2,000 senior-level lawyers, and plans to recruit 500 more

The company matches legal professionals with law firms and in-house legal departments which need temporary additional help. Its latest offering gives clients the option of tapping into ad hoc paralegal support or outsourcing entire projects such as contract reviews.

Laura Vosper, head of talent, Obelisk, said: ‘We can offer career support and the opportunity to work on meaningful and interesting projects to paralegals and junior lawyers interested in joining our freelance talent pool.’
