Description
Remote Legal Consultant (Upwork)
Join a Team Where You Belong
Do you have a knack for making complex legal matters feel approachable? Would you thrive in a place that puts inclusion, compassion, and teamwork first, no matter where you’re working from? Here’s your opportunity to join a remote-first, people-centered team as a Remote Legal Consultant. We believe that actual expertise is rooted in respect, authentic connections, and the courage to support others. The annual salary for this role is $151,000, and you’ll be part of an organization where everyone’s story matters.
Real People, Real Support
Our team’s culture is built on meaningful relationships and genuine care for each other’s growth. Take Priya, who once doubted if her small-town perspective had a place in the legal world. Surrounded by mentors who listened, she grew into a leader who now encourages others to bring their whole selves to work. Or Malik, who switched careers and found not only technical guidance but also emotional support and acceptance every step of the way. We understand that fresh ideas and lived experiences are what set us apart in the world of remote legal consulting.

Your Day-to-Day
- Guide clients through contract questions, compliance, and dispute resolution with clarity and patience.
- Pay close attention to each person’s situation and offer advice that’s both easy to understand and practical to apply.
- Work alongside colleagues to solve challenges, review cases, and swap creative solutions—everyone’s opinion counts.
- Design simple guides, checklists, and tools to enable clients to confidently handle issues themselves.
- Stay informed about industry changes and share updates and ideas with your team in a friendly, supportive environment.
- Protect confidentiality and uphold the highest standards of ethics in all you do.
What Makes Us Stand Out
Everyone Feels Welcome
This is more than a policy—it’s how we show up for each other. We’ve shaped our environment around fairness, flexibility, and the belief that every journey deserves respect. Here, being different is not just accepted—it’s valued.
Teamwork That Feels Natural
There’s no room for ego or competition here. We’re quick to check in, swap advice, and pitch in when a colleague is stuck. Our remote team feels close-knit because we believe in lifting each other.
Your Well-Being Comes First
Whether it’s an online meditation break or a supportive message from your manager, we’re all about balance. Time off, self-care, and honest conversations are a regular part of our daily work routine.
How We Work: Tools and Connection
You’ll have access to easy-to-use legal tech, secure document management, and quick communication tools to make your job smooth. Draft contracts, manage compliance, or attend remote hearings without tech headaches—our setup ensures seamless legal work from anywhere.

- Law degree (JD, LLB, or equivalent) from an accredited school
- Official approval to practice law wherever you live and work
- At least 3 years of hands-on experience in legal consulting or remote legal roles

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
1. What’s a day actually like?
No day plays out the same. You might be helping a small business owner rewrite a confusing contract before lunch, then spending your afternoon walking someone through a compliance snag. Sometimes it’s research, sometimes it's writing a plain-language guide, and other times you’re just being a sounding board. It’s about being present and making legal advice actually helpful.
2. Is this one of those intense, cutthroat legal teams?
Not even close. There’s no peacocking or silent competition here. People check in, not up. If someone’s stuck, others jump in without being asked. Wins are shared, ideas are welcomed, and there's room for honest conversations—not just status updates.
3. How do people grow professionally in this team?
Nobody waits for permission to grow here. If you’re curious, someone will hand you a project. If you want to learn something new, there’s always someone who’ll teach it or figure it out with you. Titles matter less than initiative, and learning tends to happen in real-time, not just during formal sessions.
4. I’m not super tech-savvy—should I be worried?
No need. The tools are built for actual humans, not just tech experts. If you can navigate a group chat or upload a file, you’re already most of the way there. And if something feels clunky or unfamiliar, you’ll never be left to figure it out on your own. Help is part of the culture.
5. How do you deal with high-pressure moments?
People here don’t pretend stress doesn’t exist. When things get heavy, the default response is to check in—not to push harder. There’s space to say, “This is a lot,” and you’ll be met with understanding. Whether it’s taking a breather or talking it out, you’re not expected to carry tough days alone.
