Subcontracting Overflow Work

Are you a lawyer with more work than capacity? If you need specific tasks completed on your files — without transferring carriage — reach out to explore subcontracting arrangements.

For Lawyers With Too Much Work

This page is for lawyers whose caseload has exceeded their capacity and who need specific tasks completed on their files while keeping carriage.

Task-Based, Not File-Based

You are not transferring the file. The subcontracted lawyer drafts a defined work product — a motion record, factum, pleading — and returns it to you.

You Retain Carriage

You remain the lawyer of record. The work is done under your direction. Your client relationship and professional obligations remain with you.

Meet Your Deadlines

Subcontracting discrete tasks gives you breathing room to meet court dates and client timelines without passing the file or compromising quality.

This Form Is Not an Application to Receive Work

This page is for lawyers who want to subcontract overflow work — not for lawyers looking to receive it. If you practise in family law, wills & estates, criminal defence, immigration, or real estate and are interested in receiving referrals from Flatly clients, see the Apply page instead.
