01Getting started
What is LPC?
Let’s-ParaConnect is a platform for project-based paralegal work, one Matter at a time. Independent U.S. paralegals can apply to individual Matters posted by solo and small-firm attorneys based on their experience, availability, and interest.
Each Matter is a separate engagement with its own scope, deliverables, deadline, and flat-fee compensation. LPC is not a full-time employment or permanent-placement platform. You choose which Matters to pursue, and attorneys decide whom to engage.
Scope, messages, files, work, and payment for each Matter stay together in its own workspace.
Do I need to be certified?
No. You must be based in the United States and have a paralegal certificate, a degree in paralegal studies, or at least one year of experience working in a law firm.
You only need to meet one of these three qualifications.
What do I need to apply to LPC?
Complete the application and upload a PDF résumé. Provide your paralegal certificate or degree in paralegal studies, or details of your qualifying law-firm experience.
LPC reviews your application and verifies the qualification you use to meet our admission requirements before approving access. We may ask for additional information to complete the review.
When can I start applying to matters?
We’ll email you when your account is approved. You can then sign in, complete your account setup, and start applying to Matters.
Does approval guarantee work?
No. Approval gives you access to LPC, but attorneys choose whom to hire.
LPC does not guarantee engagements, hours, or earnings.
What do attorneys see when I apply?
Attorneys can review your application, résumé, profile information, work experience, and any Matter requirement confirmations included with your application.
Keep your information current and accurate so attorneys can evaluate your fit for the work.
02Finding & doing work
Can I choose which matters to apply for?
Yes. Each Matter is a separate opportunity. You decide which individual Matters to pursue based on the scope, deliverables, deadline, compensation, requirements, and your availability.
Applying to one Matter does not commit you to ongoing work with that attorney or with LPC.
What are Matter requirements?
An attorney may include requirements that a paralegal must meet to apply, such as particular software experience, practice-area experience, or availability.
You must confirm that you meet every listed requirement before submitting your application.
Does accepting an invitation mean I’m hired?
No. Accepting an invitation tells the attorney you’re interested in that specific Matter.
The attorney must still confirm the hire and fund the Matter before work begins.
Can I work with the same attorney again?
Yes. If you and an attorney want to work together again, the attorney creates a new Matter for the new project or scope of work.
Each Matter is a separate engagement with its own scope, deadline, compensation, and requirements.
What if an attorney requests a conflicts check or confidentiality agreement?
Review and respond to the requested item before the hire moves forward.
Conflict checks and confidentiality agreements are optional pre-engagement tools and may vary by Matter.
How do I submit work?
Use the Matter workspace to keep task progress current and upload agreed deliverables.
The attorney reviews the work and may request revisions before confirming completion.
What if I cannot finish or meet the deadline?
Tell the attorney promptly if something may affect completion or timing.
If you need to leave the Matter, use the withdrawal process. Withdrawal is available before all tasks are complete, and any payout depends on the work completed and the applicable review process.
What if there’s a dispute?
Use the Matter’s review or dispute process before payment is released.
Include the agreed scope, relevant messages, and submitted work so LPC can review the platform payment and workflow issue. LPC does not provide legal advice.
03Payments & platform fees
Does it cost anything to join?
No. There is no subscription or upfront fee for paralegals.
LPC deducts an 18% platform fee from completed, paid Matter work before payout.
Who sets the compensation?
The attorney sets the flat-fee compensation for each individual Matter. The minimum posted amount is $400.
Review the scope and compensation before applying.
How much will I receive, and when?
For a completed $400 Matter, LPC’s 18% platform fee is $72, leaving a $328 payout before any applicable payment adjustment.
Payout is released to your Stripe connected account after the attorney confirms completion or a platform review is resolved.
When will the money reach my bank?
Payment release and bank arrival are separate steps.
Check Stripe for payout status and estimated arrival. Timing depends on your Stripe payout schedule 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 an attorney pay me outside LPC?
No. Payments for work arranged through LPC must remain on the platform.
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 Paralegal Help for platform instructions or contact support.
For a work or payment dispute, use the review process within the applicable Matter.
