Take a look at some of our accomplishments. These staffing examples illustrate the depth, responsiveness, flexibility, and creativity of JurisTemps recruiting and staffing services.
Projects
Class Action Lawsuit
JurisTemps assisted one of downtown St. Louis’s largest defense firms in staffing a class action lawsuit. JurisTemps provided 18 project attorneys and the project spanned a period of almost 4 years. JurisTemps also provided clerical and office support to the client’s project manager.
Remote Project Staffing (Kansas City)
JurisTemps staffed an electronic document review project for a St. Louis law firm’s Kansas City office. JurisTemps’ 9 temporary attorneys worked in the St. Louis office and “met” with their supervisors via videoconferencing. In just eight weeks, the team reviewed 151,438 documents and 1,903,448 pages of documents – twice!
In-House eDiscovery Project
JurisTemps staffed the first large e-discovery project for a St. Louis corporation. The company was defending a lawsuit brought by 5 states. The team began with 5 attorneys, increased to 10 attorneys and, at one point, employed 24 attorneys. The project team reviewed a total of 1.3 million documents ranging in size from 1 to 1,000 pages. The client was pleased that the team “successfully accomplished all of [its] project objectives.”
Summer Secretarial Staff
JurisTemps has provided supplemental secretarial staff (up to 6 at a time) to several large downtown firms during the summer months. The added staff served as floaters and enabled the firm to accommodate first choice vacation dates to senior secretarial staff members.
Due Diligence – Purchase
JurisTemps provided 4 project attorneys and a paralegal to work with a large downtown St. Louis firm on due diligence for a proposed purchase at one of their major corporate clients. The law firm’s client was so pleased that it eventually hired one of JurisTemps’ employees on a permanent basis.
Due Diligence – Department of Justice Request
JurisTemps staffed a due diligence electronic document review project for a large downtown law firm to comply with a Department of Justice request. The project lasted 15 months, and the client added additional temporary attorneys in several phases. The number of temporary attorneys averaged 35, and for a period of several months there were over 40 temporary attorneys reviewing documents on-site. Several of the temporary attorneys relocated during the project and, given their outstanding past work product, were able to continue working on the project via the firm’s satellite offices.
Project Staffing – A Quick Turn-Around
JurisTemps was called at noon on a Thursday by a large downtown law firm to staff an electronic document review project beginning the following Monday. JurisTemps provided 13 attorneys – reference checked, license checked, and conflicts checked – and they arrived at the client’s premises at 8:30 on Monday.
Off-site Staffing
JurisTemps staffed and managed an asbestos litigation document review project located at the law firm’s imaging vendor’s premises. JurisTemps’ team of 3 temporary paralegals worked remotely from the client for close to 4 months; JurisTemps made regular visits to the off-site team and appointed one of its employees to serve as the “lead” liaison with the law firm.

JurisTemps was responsible for conducting criminal background checks and drug testing on all paralegals prior to start date.
