INDEPENDENT
PARALEGALS/
FREELANCE
PARALEGALS
BY: Caren Mansfield, a
member of the Illinois
Paralegal Association
Independent paralegals
and freelance paralegals.
Terms that float around all
the time. While both
names may be used inter-
changeably there is a dif-
ference. Let’s talk about
the difference.
Freelance paralegals
are paralegals who are
employed by attorneys,
firms, corporations or
agencies to work contrac-
tually. The freelance para-
legal may perform work
independently i.e. at
home, at odd hours of the
day or night but all work
generated is reviewed by
an attorney. Freelance
paralegals are often used
by firms to supplement
staff when large projects or
cases arise. Some free-
lance paralegals are hired
as trial approaches to
assist in preparing trial
notebooks, interviewing
witnesses and assisting
counsel at trial. The free-
lance paralegal performs
work under the supervi-
sion of an attorney.
Independent paralegals
are paralegals that per-
form work for the public
without attorney supervi-
sion. They have also been
called legal technicians or
document preparers. This
is a sticky area in Illinois.
In Illinois a paralegal who
prepares substantive docu-
ments for a client without
attorney supervision is
guilty of the unauthorized
practice of law (UPL). A
paralegal may provide
independent services to
the public through docu-
ment preparation,
research activities, filing
services, etc. The con-
sumer is not always aware
that the independent para-
legal can only provide pub-
lished factual information
(generated by a lawyer),
cannot select appropriate
forms and can only type in
information given by the
client. The paralegal can-
not give advice, select
forms, help with strategy
or even describe what
information should be
included in a form. The
independent paralegal can
file and serve documents
at the direction of the con-
