Filipino Legal Virtual Assistants for Australian Law Firms

Yes. Every legal VA goes through StaffPilot's Legal Onboarding before placement: practice management software, AU legal admin conventions, time billing standards, file structure, court terminology, and confidentiality protocols. They're NOT solicitors or paralegals, they don't give legal advice or sign court docs.

Yes. Pre-trained on all three plus LawMaster and Affinity. They handle file opening, time entry, document templates, invoice prep, and reporting.

All VAs sign Australian-standard NDAs and a legal-specific confidentiality undertaking. Conflict checks remain your responsibility, but the VA can run the initial conflict search and surface anything that needs partner review.

They handle the admin side: formatting, binding lists, exhibit numbering, court books, witness statement assembly, e-filing logistics. They don't draft pleadings or affidavits as substantive legal work.

One of the highest-leverage things a legal VA does. They capture time from your calendar, sent emails, dictation, and notes, turning your day into a billable timesheet. Most firms recover 5-15% of 'lost' billable hours within 60 days.

From $1,958/month, about $11.25/hour for full-time. Senior legal VAs with conveyancing/PEXA experience or specialist family law admin run up to $2,650/month. Replaces a junior paralegal at AU rates of $65-85k/year. All figures are all-inclusive (incl. GST) and indicative, exact rate confirmed on a discovery call.

Yes, for firms doing residential conveyancing. They handle PEXA workspace setup, settlement statement prep, section 27/32 collation, settlement booking, post-settlement reporting. They don't sign or settle as licensed conveyancers.

Junior-level only: deposit logs, withdrawal forms, reconciliation prep. They don't authorise trust transactions. Your trust account manager retains all authorisation.
