# fractional paralegal

A paralegal who supports a firm for a contracted portion of time instead of as a full-time employee.

Fractional support gives a firm a defined capacity without requiring a full-time role. The agreement should clarify hours, work windows, supervision, matter access, handoffs, and what happens when demand changes. Woven Legal states that it places virtual legal professionals nationwide on a fractional, subscription basis and offers designated professionals for contracted hours.
