Teams Squared
Teams Squared places vetted remote legal professionals from emerging markets with law firms and legal teams, handling contracts, payroll and currency conversion.
Teams Squared connects law firms and legal teams with remote legal professionals drawn from emerging markets. The company states that it recruits from the top 5% of remote legal talent in these regions, sourcing lawyers and other legal staff for long-term offshore team building. Its stated mission is to give talented lawyers in emerging markets access to international opportunities.
The firm handles the operational side of offshore hiring. It runs a vetting and interview process to identify candidates, and manages standardised contracts, payroll processing and currency conversion for its clients. Clients are not tied to long-term contracts, and the service is designed to reduce the training burden on hiring firms. Clients are typically small to mid-sized law firms, as well as in-house legal departments.
Teams Squared draws talent from South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America. The company claims clients can achieve up to a 65% reduction in overheads through its model. Further details on the company's founding, size and funding are not disclosed.
