01Getting started
What is LPC?
Let’s-ParaConnect helps solo and small-firm attorneys engage independent paralegals for clearly scoped Matter work. Delegate overflow work one Matter at a time while keeping scope, messages, files, and payments together in one workspace.
Paralegals choose which Matters to pursue, and attorneys choose whom to engage.
How do I get access?
Submit an attorney application. LPC reviews applications before granting platform access, and we’ll email you when your account is approved. Pending applicants cannot sign in.
How are paralegals reviewed?
LPC reviews each paralegal application and verifies the qualification used to meet our admission requirements. Attorneys remain responsible for deciding whether a paralegal is the right fit for their Matter.
Does LPC choose a paralegal for me?
No. Paralegals independently apply to Matters, and you decide whom to hire. You can also invite a paralegal to consider your Matter.
An application or accepted invitation does not create an engagement.
What do I need before creating a Matter?
Start by describing the work you need done. LPC helps you shape it into a clear Matter with scope, deliverables, deadline, compensation, and any required qualifications.
Matter compensation must be at least $400, and you’ll need a valid payment method when you confirm a hire.
02Working together
Can I change the scope after hiring?
Confirm the scope and tasks before hiring. Once a paralegal is engaged, the Matter details and tasks are locked.
Create a new Matter for additional work outside the agreed scope.
Who supervises the work?
You do. Attorneys remain responsible for supervising the paralegal, reviewing the final work product, and obtaining any required client consent.
Paralegals work as independent professionals and are not LPC employees.
Can I request a conflicts check or confidentiality agreement?
Yes. Before hiring, you may request a conflicts check or confidentiality agreement from a selected paralegal.
These are optional platform tools. Attorneys remain responsible for any professional obligations applicable to the Matter.
How do I review completed work?
Review submitted deliverables in the Matter workspace. If revisions are needed, request them before approving completion.
Once you confirm that the agreed work is complete, LPC begins the payout-release process.
What if work is late, incomplete, or disputed?
Raise the issue in the Matter workspace before payment is released. Include the agreed scope, relevant messages, and delivered work so LPC can review the payment and workflow issue.
Can I cancel a Matter or replace a paralegal?
Use the Matter’s cancellation, termination, or review options based on its current stage.
Refunds and payment adjustments depend on the Matter’s funding status, work completed, and any review outcome; they are not automatic.
03Payments & platform fees
What is the minimum Matter amount?
The minimum compensation for a Matter is $400.
Choose an amount appropriate for the actual scope of work; the minimum does not determine what a particular Matter should cost.
What will I pay?
When you hire a paralegal, you pay the Matter amount plus a 22% attorney platform fee.
For example, a $400 Matter totals $488.
No separate Stripe-processing line item is added beyond the total shown at confirmation.
When does the paralegal get paid?
You fund the Matter through Stripe when you confirm the hire.
Payout is released after you approve completed work or a platform review is resolved. Bank arrival time depends on the paralegal’s Stripe account and financial institution.
What does the platform fee cover?
The platform fee supports application review, the Matter workspace, platform support, applicable Stripe processing costs, and LPC operations.
It is not a fee for legal services.
Can I pay outside LPC or use client trust funds?
Payments for work arranged through LPC must remain on the platform.
LPC must not be used to receive, transmit, or hold client trust funds.
04Account & support
Can I deactivate my account?
Yes. You can deactivate your account in Settings once active Matters and unresolved financial obligations are complete.
Deactivation disables account access but does not erase historical records.
Where can I get help?
Visit Attorney Help for platform instructions or contact support.
For a work or payment dispute, use the review process within the applicable Matter.
