New to Nearwork?

Vetted legal & admin talent — sourced, employed and managed for you.

Nearwork is a managed remote-staffing partner. We help US and Canadian companies hire English-fluent talent from Latin America without the cost, risk or overhead of doing it alone.

The problem

Hiring a great paralegal is slow, costly and risky.

A US hire is expensive and takes months. Going remote on your own means sifting résumés, chasing contractors, running payroll across borders and hoping the person actually works out.

The solution

One partner that sources, vets and runs the role.

We source and rigorously assess Legal & Admin talent in Colombia, then employ, payroll and manage them for you. You get a proven paralegal on your team in about two weeks, at roughly half the US cost — fully managed.
