Running a law firm is a full-time commitment. Between managing clients, court deadlines, legal research, and building your reputation, there’s little time left for HR headaches. That’s where a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) can be a game-changer for law firms.
At NetPEO, we specialize in matching law firms with the right PEO to streamline HR, payroll, compliance, and benefits — so your team can focus on what they do best: practicing law.
What Is a PEO — and Why Should Law Firms Care?
A PEO is a partner that legally co-employs your staff to take on HR responsibilities such as:
-
Payroll processing and tax filing
-
Employee benefits administration
-
Workers’ compensation coverage
-
Employment law compliance
-
Recruiting and onboarding
-
HR support and risk management
This means less stress for your office manager or internal HR team — and more time back in your day.
Top 5 Reasons Law Firms Choose a PEO
1. Focus on Billable Hours, Not Paperwork
Time is money. With a PEO handling non-billable HR tasks, attorneys and paralegals can dedicate more time to client work and increase profitability.
2. Stay Compliant with Changing Labor Laws
From employment classifications to wage and hour laws, compliance is complex — and the legal industry can’t afford slip-ups. A PEO ensures you’re always up to date with federal, state, and local regulations.
3. Attract and Retain Top Talent
PEOs give small and mid-sized firms access to Fortune-500-level benefits, including health insurance, retirement plans, and employee perks — making it easier to recruit and retain skilled legal professionals.
4. Reduce HR and Payroll Costs
PEOs provide cost-effective HR solutions without needing to build a large in-house team. You save money on software, training, and employee management overhead.
5. Protect Your Firm with Risk Management Support
Employment-related lawsuits can destroy reputations and finances. A PEO helps you implement best practices and provides guidance to avoid legal pitfalls.
What Size Law Firms Benefit Most from a PEO?
Whether you’re a solo practitioner looking to grow, or a multi-attorney firm with staff across several states, a PEO can scale with you. Firms with 5 to 100 employees typically see the most benefit, but even larger firms can leverage PEOs for specific support.
