Why offshore

Why hire an legal support hire offshore

With a DPA, the UK IDTA and least-privilege access, offshore legal support handles sensitive, high-volume work securely — increasing fee-earner capacity without increasing headcount cost.

Whichever hub fits the role — Sri Lanka or the Philippines — TalentDock is the legal employer. We handle contracts, payroll, equipment, IT and HR, and cover the data-protection footing (DPA and the UK IDTA for restricted transfers). Because your hire is employed overseas and works wholly outside the UK, there’s no employer NIC, no auto-enrolment pension, and no IR35 status determination for you to make.

General information, not legal or tax advice — confirm your position with a qualified UK adviser.

The saving

A dedicated legal support hire for up to 70% less

Compared with the true cost of a UK hire — salary, NICs, pension, equipment and recruitment fees — one all-in monthly fee, one invoice.

FAQ

Common questions

How is client-confidential data protected?

Through a Data Processing Agreement, the UK IDTA for transfers, least-privilege access and clear retention rules, set up at onboarding.

Can they do substantive legal work?

They support qualified fee-earners with research, drafting and review; supervision and sign-off remain with your solicitors.

Which case-management systems?
