How We Align with Your
Firm’s Team

As a paralegal firm, we will help your team and together we will achieve case objectives.

The benefits of aligning with Jackman Sadler include: 

  • We’re responsive to your specific needs, maintaining flexibility

  • We match your sense of urgency, regardless of the day or time 

  • We meet deadlines and understand why they’re important

  • We can offer ideas and solutions you may not have considered

  • We work hand-in-hand with your firm’s staff and paralegals to deliver on deadlines and take time-consuming aspects of litigation off your plate

  • We ensure that you are entirely ready and equipped to defend or prosecute a case without interruption

  • We’re also ready to help during employee absences such as vacation, maternity leave, jury duty and other reasons 

  • We do what it takes to make sure you and your team shine in front of your clients and in the courtroom

Your clients will receive the same privileges and confidentiality afforded to them under the attorney-client privilege and work-product doctrine. Before beginning any service for you and your client, we perform a conflicts check (based on the case information and list of parties you provide).   

As we continue to work together you can develop a consistent working relationship with the same paralegal who knows your team, understands your case and your firm’s culture.
