My
business partner and I recently started a company, Overflow Legal Network LLC.
OLN is a group of qualified freelance attorneys providing contractual legal
support to law firms nationwide. I came across this business model a few years
back, just after having my baby girl. At the time, I was trying to figure out
how to do it all: how to have a career, be a great mommy, be a good wife and
everything in between. As a new mother, I was overwhelmed, to say the
least. I finally settled on leaving full-time practice and scaling back
to part-time freelance work.
Having
years of experience as a freelance attorney helps me see the value that being
associated with a network of freelance attorneys can provide. I would
like to detail those benefits below.
Joining
Overflow Legal Network’s group of freelance attorneys enables you to have a
flexible schedule, work from any location at any hour of the day, set your own
hourly rate, and bill out on an hourly basis. As an OLN freelance attorney, you
have the autonomy to accept or deny work on a project-by-project basis. Having
the final say gives you power over your schedule.
Another
benefit is OLN does the networking for you. One thing I struggle with
while freelancing is finding the time to get out and meet potential new
business. But for attorneys associated with OLN’s network, making contacts in
an effort to get more work is not a pressure. OLN does the marketing and
networking for you. This allows you to focus on the reasons you needed to take
time away from full-time practice in the first place.

I didn't know anything about this and it sounds like a wonderful idea! Another great option for women attorneys. Best of luck with your business!
