Teams Squared

Teams Squared is a remote-first legal staffing business that connects law firms and in-house legal departments with lawyers and legal professionals in emerging markets. The company sources candidates from South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America, and states that it places the top 5% of remote legal talent following a vetting and interview process. Its stated purpose is to give lawyers in emerging markets access to international opportunities, with an emphasis on reliable, long-term working relationships rather than short-term engagements.

For the firms it serves - mainly small to mid-sized practices and in-house departments - Teams Squared handles the administrative layer around offshore hiring. This includes standardized employment contracts, payroll administration and currency conversion. The company reports that clients can reduce overhead costs by up to 65% by building offshore teams through its service, without long-term contracts or extensive training burdens.

The work is organised around three functions: vetting and placement of remote legal talent, payroll and contracting support, and the assembly of offshore legal teams. Candidates work remotely as part of embedded teams serving international clients.
