Thriving Workforce: Well-Being at the Core
Client Profile: U.S.-based Law Firms & In-House Legal Departments
Service Model: Dedicated Remote Paralegal (DRP)
Provider: Draft n Craft
The Background
Law firms increasingly face a silent but costly challenge, paralegal burnout and attrition.
Long working hours, rigid schedules, repetitive operational tasks, and frequent team turnover disrupt workflows, impact morale, and increase hidden hiring and training costs.
Draft n Craft was engaged to address a core question:
How can firms build a stable, high-performing legal support team without compromising well-being or operational control?
The Challenge
Traditional law firm structures often result in:
- High attrition among junior staff
- Productivity loss due to frequent rehiring and retraining
- Rising overhead costs
- Declining engagement and morale
- Limited access to specialized talent
These challenges directly affect turnaround time, case quality, and attorney bandwidth.
The Solution
Draft n Craft implemented its Dedicated Remote Paralegal (DRP) model, designed to place long-term, attorney-aligned professionals into firm workflows.
Key Features of the Model:
- Hassle-free hiring and onboarding
- 24×5 operational support
- No infrastructure or overhead burden
- Long-term, retention-focused assignments
- Attrition risk managed by Draft n Craft
Remote professionals work as an extension of the firm, not as freelancers or temporary staff.

Draft n Craft deployed trained and vetted dedicated remote paralegals including:
- Indian licensed attorneys
